Affordable amplified HDTV antenna - received all HD channels in the DFW area with minimal tweaking via antenna input on DirecTV HD Tivo unit. All HD channels except 2 have 90% signal strength in my Arlington, TX home, which is about 16-20 miles from most transmitters. Nice form factor also.

2.0 out of 5 stars It works - if you put (too much) work into it, January 9, 2006

I live within 7 miles of the transmitter, with a hill and many buildings in-between. I've tuned in most available channels, but only by carefully moving the antenna (often into awkward positions) nearly every time I change channels. Simply, it takes too much effort. I'll try a signal booster or different antenna before I give up and go to cable.

This thing works passably well, but you have to keep fiddling with it to get the best results. If you can't afford (or don't want) cable or dish service, the Samsung TV5.2 SAX offers a reasonable, inexpensive way to get HD images on your set if you live fairly close to local HD broadcast sources. But prepared to tweak it a lot!
