1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless product, March 27, 2009

By	Thomas Jennings "Gi Chu Som" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with the reviewer from Houston. My old rabbit ears work better and I don't have to waste electricity by plugging it in. Rabbit ears pick up 13 channels. The Philips SCA050 Indoor Amplified UHF/VHF/FM/HDTV Antenna picks up three channels but fuzzier and they were all VHF.
There is no info on the Philips website. After a few phone calls I finally got a customer service agent who treated me like an idiot and had no answers.
Save yourself some money and go to the closet and pull out a wire hanger.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Antenna, but don't break the ears!, February 27, 2009

This antenna works great as long as you don't break one of the rabbit ears. The rabbit ears are delicate and don't turn easily. I have to return the antenna and I am waiting for the replacement.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor results, much disappointment, April 29, 2008

By	David Wells (Houston) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This antenna doesn't provide an adequate signal; it is less than half as effective compared to the pair of rabbit ears that I had lying around the house.
