3.0 out of 5 stars UHF only, fragile, May 2, 2006

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.

Excellent Antenna, at an excellent price. Plugged in and received every available HD station in my area. Better than amplified RCA model, which is definitely going back to the store. It's amazing it pulls in such a good signal with no amplication.

While this product may indeed pull in a week signal, any benefits are outweighed by the flimsy construction. The one I purchased didn't work at all until took a closer look and found that not one, but two solder points were broken and had to be re-soldered. There was obviously no QA at all done after assembly.
