 Philips Antenna November 24, 2008
Mia (Bowie, MD United States)
This antenna did not work well at all. I purchased the GE and it works much better. I receive all of the channels in my area. I do not recommend this product.
 Does exactly what it's supposed to November 23, 2008
L. Britton (San Francisco)
I should preface this by saying that I live in SF, and Sutro Tower is all of a mile and a half away, so I probably could have gotten most channels with a coat hanger. That said, this antenna seems to be fairly solid in construction, and after just a quick scan I am getting not only the channels from Sutro Tower but also those from San Bruno Mountain - admittedly still less than 7 miles away. Overall I am receiving 15 analog and over 30 digital channels, most of which I do not want, but all of which have excellent signal strangth.

For people who did not bother checking to see what kind of antenna they needed before buying: Please stop giving poor reviews just because you can't get signals from 40 miles away with a passive antenna. This type of antenna is designed for those who live close to a tower. If you live in the boonies you're just going to have to spend a little more. It's not fair, but it's true, and it certainly isn't the device's fault.
 Its an antenna. October 3, 2008

You buy it, you hook it up, it works. Please do not be fooled by any ads for HD antennas. Digital signals can be received with a tin can if need be. This antenna will work as well as any.
 pretty good antenna among non-powered HDTV ones August 12, 2008

I have tried many HDTV antennas including Terk HDTV indoor, RCA ANT1251 Indoor Antenna, RCA ANT537 Indoor amplified tv antenna, and this one. Basically, Terk and RCA 1251 were useless. It didn't matter whether those were amplified or not. Those two didn't capture more than 5 HDTV channels. RCA 537 model was pretty good. Actually, it captured 5-10 HDTV channels and more regular channels if you play well enough with rabbit ear things. However, it consumes power and I decided to try this Philips one. At first, I was disappointed since it got only 3 HDTV channels, but as I move the ring antenna and rabbit ear ones, I have successfully got more than 5 HDTV channels. It is still not as good as RCA 537 model but if you don't want to use electricity, I think this one will work as good as most of other amplified antennas. As you know, the picture quality of HDTV channels are amazing once you get the signal. Usually better than cable tv HDTV channels.
Works Great with Digital to Analog Converters July 10, 2008

I recently bought a digital-to-analog converter for my TV and bought this as a cheap antennae to accompany it. A few years ago, I tried only having broadcast stations, but reluctantly bought cable because the reception was so bad with my amplified radioshack antennae. I definitely don't have that problem anymore. All of the major networks and PBS come in crystal clear. I wish I had spent the $10 on this four years ago instead of sinking all that money into cable.
