5.0 out of 5 stars DTV Antenna for analog TV with converter box, November 28, 2008

By	lans "lans" (Little Ferry, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews

This is an amplified indoor antenna to use with the converter box to receive ota (over the air) broadcast channels. This pulls in all the "free" TV stations in NYC Metro area. I live in Bergen County, NJ and the reception is fantastic.

The converter box plugs into the TV and has a power cord. The antenna plugs into the converter box and also has a power cord. Best reception is if the flat antenna panel is right next to a window. Also the long cord from the converter box to the flat panel antenna works best if stretched out.

I'm using a power strip for the TV, the converter box and the antenna. Once I got them on the power strip and could position the flat panel near the window with the antenna cable fully stretched out, the reception was full green and perfect on all the channels (except for Thirteen, WNET). Fantastic reception and the digital signal is very good. Highly recommended. Picture quality is fantastic and boy you can tell when you're viewing HDTV.

Thirteen WNET has not yet boosted their antenna so their signal is too weak to be received. Read their statement online at Thirteen WNET.

4.0 out of 5 stars Personal field test, June 5, 2009

By	Atlanta1409 (North Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

I recently tried five different antennae and found the Philips MANT940 to be the best of all five.

I compared it to the GE 24775, the RCA ANT537, Philips SDV2750, and the RCA ANT 1450. If I was giving a ranking for the five, it would be as follows:

1. Philips MANT940
2. RCA ANT 1450
3. GE 24775
4. RCA Ant 537
5. Philips SDV2750

By using the signal strength meter on my HDTV, the MANT940 was the only one to receive at least 80% on all relevant stations. I had chosen a location near a window in my garage and placed all antennae there and compared their performance. The top three I listed above all performed adequately, so I moved them to a place where I would mount the MANT940 between two windows.

Upon comparison of those three in the best window location, I found that the MANT940 had most channels in the 90-94% range and one channel at 80% while most of the channels on the other two were in the mid 70's to mid 80's.

I am in northern suburb of Atlanta, GA and found that the only channel that I wanted that no antenna would pick up is the NBC affiliate, WXIA.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bunny Ears are Better, December 11, 2008

By	Fubeca "Fubeca" (Washington, USA) - See all my reviews

Our bunny ears were getting about 60% strength on our digital converter box meter. We bought this antenna thinking we could do a lot better. On the contrary. We could only get 20-30% with this antenna alone and about 50% with the amplifier. We tried every position you could imagine and our bunny ears still out performed it. Don't waste your time!!!
