Great if you live near a water tower [Posted on 2008-09-27]
I live within 5 miles of most of the TV transmitters in my area. I also live within 1/4 mile of a huge water tower. TV, FM, even cell phone signals around here get a ton of interference from multipath thanks to all that RF bouncing off that water tower. With plain old rabbit ears, I couldn't even watch analog TV because of the interference. I've seen some complaints about this being a directional antenna, but that's the whole point of this antenna. It's directional, so it is much, MUCH less sensitive to multipath interference, which was annoying in analog and completely kills digital signals. It may be flimsy but it works, and mine hasn't fallen apart yet. I am able to get all the local channels with this antenna except for one because their transmitter is in the opposite direction. With omnidirectional antennas, I can't get anything.

Great for semi-urban areas...just aim according to the TERK website. Some antannae over shoot the signal with to much GAIN...this is simple and to the point. This version with rabbit ears is not as good.
Does The Job [Posted on 2008-10-02]
Inexpensive and it works! I haven't tried other more expensive ones to compare to, however for the price of this product, it does the job. Found most digital channels and works 95% of the time - meaning the screen "skips" about 5% of the time, mostly due to inclimate weather (not sure if that has anything to do with the antenna itself).
Phillips PHDTV1 Digital Antenna [Posted on 2008-10-06]
I bought the antenna because I had gotten one of the digital to analog converter boxes. I had read that a regular tv antenna could work, and found that for some channels it did. I am far enough away from the transmitters that I needed a better antenna to get some stations. With this antenna I can pick up all the local stations and occasionally some that are on the fringe range.
The price is good and the product does what I needed so for me it was a good purchase.
Great Antenna for HDTV [Posted on 2008-10-11]
This is the 2nd one of these that I have purchased and they work great. I use them with my HD TiVos to get my local HD channels over the air. This will not work in all cases as you have to have a pretty straight shoot toward the antennas you want to recieve. I actually have mine in a closet on ethe first floor and it has no problems picking up my local channels. You also can not beat the price.
