I can’t believe the praises for this. It works no better than an old, inexpensive one I had lying around. Not one channel is close to HD quality. What a waste of money.

I am confuse i bought this stuff to catch channel but it didn’t work. Are you supose to use it with hdtv television. Does it work after the switch to digital singal. I need to know because there alot off good review i was wondering if they made it before the switch to the digital singal, Also are you supose to use it with converter box. Over all it didn’t work i only go one channel in a bad condition and it doesn’t come with the cable to pluck in the tv you have to buy it seprate. 1 out of 5

So, I got mine and assembled it, tried it indoors and it was pretty much the same as when I was using some rabbit ears.
The coax plug in part isn’t very accessible. I moved to using it outside on my roof and one of the wires broke.
After reconnecting and trying again, reception was okay but not that great.
I ended up buying a powered indoor/outdoor from Phillips and now I get even more channels.
I get to watch Alghizeera(sp) news on KBCT now. Totally diffferent from local and other cable news.

This is a product I bought and had to replace so perhaps you can learn from my experience. 1st off it does not specialize in the uhf band (14-69) but picks up the strongest signals; in my case 8.1,8.2.11.1.11.2,13.1 and is not very directional meaning it picks up signals from the rear as well as from the front. The channel I was after was FOX 17 and even though this antenna was mounted outside and signal tested, could not bring it in without ghosting. I’m replacing it with a terrestrial digital SR-15 which has superior directivity and should accomplish the task at hand. If I had known then what I know now , I would have saved myself time and half the price of the antenna I really needed. This antenna will pick up strong signals only and will give you ghosting problems if you try to combine it with another antenna. The channel I’m trying to bring in is only 6.8 miles away and on the roof there are no line of sight obstacles. I can’t recommend it unless you’re very indiscriminating about what channels you bring in and are not trying to combine it with another antenna.

I purchased this antenna after reading numerous reviews comparing it’s capabilities with other HD/digital type antennas that are available. I was planning on using it for my multimedia PC to watch and record network TV. I built a stand from PVC so I could mount it high in the house and on the attic floor if necessary. I set the antenna up [...] and proceeded to program received channels. Once I was finished, I ended up with 2 less channels than I got with my $10 RCA rabbit ears! I tried it again after moving the antenna to different positions. The picture wasn’t any better. I live in a metro area with most stations within 30-40 miles. I felt it should have gotten better reception than the rabbit ears! For the money, I’d say stick with the RCA rabbit ears.
