Summary: Short & Sweet
Comment: I live 18 miles west of Philadelphia, PA and I receive 24 digital channels, including the major networks and PBS, in wonderful clarity on my new ATSC equiped LCD TV. I get basic analog (not digital) cable to save money. But this wastes the capacity of the TV. Because of this little antenna, I will drop cable and let the TV buy itself with the savings in just 10 months. Sweet!

Summary: Works, but Flimsy
Comment: This antenna improves reception over the standard-issue rabbit ears.
Unfortunately, it is constructed rather cheaply. It could use a heavier base.

Customer Rating:
Summary: UHF only, fragile
Comment: When it works, this is a fine antenna for HD reception, as long as the station uses the UHF channels for HD broadcasting. The inner solder points are weak, as mentioned in another review, and broke after the antenna fell three feet to the floor.
I replaced this unit with the Terk HDTVi, also sold here. The Terk unit looks similar, but has a set of built-in VHF dipole "rabbit ears" which allow reception of all local channels 2-13 as well as 14-69. For about two dollars more, it's kind of pointless to go with a UHF-only antenna like the Philips or Zenith versions when you can get similar UHF reception with the Terk and VHF as well over the same connection.
The Philips isn't a bad antenna, it works fine, but I recommend the Terk instead.

Summary: It is not working at all!
Comment: This antenna does not work at all. Even channel ABC has lots of flake or sometimes just black and white. I can't receive any channel with acceptable result. The result is almost equal to a small antenna comes with the TV.
