A nice waste of your $30. I have a $10 pair of rabbit ears that picks up better than this piece of garbage. I sat there fiddling with the antennas and the gain control while watching the signal strength meters, and nothing ever seemed to change no matter what I fiddled with. Save your money on this waste.

Amazing, the Philips SDV2750/27 is a superb antenna for only $5 more than this one. I always wondered, why a company that can make a great product still bother to make a garbage for few dollars less? If someone knows the answer, please enlighten me.

I needed an amplified VHF/UHF antenna for my small HDTV I have in the kitchen. I wanted something better than the cheap, non-amplified 'rabbit ears' unit I had. Upon hooking up the Philips, I quickly discovered that reception was actually WORSE than with the basic 'rabbit ears' antenna! It didn't matter how much I turned the unit or adjusted the telescoping VHF antennas, I just couldn't pull in as many analog and digital channels, and many stations came in worse, or not at all! Moreover, there is no on/off switch on this cheap unit, which wastes electricity AND poses a 'fire hazard' if the unit overheats! Come on Philips... I see this is a new unit that reached the marketplace recently... don't you people have any foresight or intelligence to release a product that actually WORKS??!! STAY AWAY from this useless antenna! I'm returning mine to the store today.
