5 Stars Very good product
All I can say is that this antenna works very good. I am form Paraguay, and I use it with muy laptop. I can see all airs channels.
5 Stars No contest
After trying several more complicated, more expensive antennas with my DTV box, this product produced the best picture and, relatively speaking, occupied less space and did not need to be plugged in. It is no substitute for cable or satellite, but works beautifully with the new boxes. We now receive more channels than before and my wife, something of a PBS addict, is absolutely delighted with the fact that we get 4 PBS channels. We returned two more expensive Terk and an RCA model.
4 Stars Surprisingly Good
As others have mentioned, this antenna is surprisingly good. Unpacked it and hooked it up. Received 40 local channels on my HDTV tuner (I AM, admittedly, very close to the local transmitter). As effective as the antenna is, I didn’t like the idea of its shiny big antennae sitting out next to my nice new monitor. So, I went down to the shop and bought a “high tech” HDTV low profile GE amplified antenna. Got it home, hooked it up and got…HALF THE CHANNELS I GOT WITH THE TERK ANTENNA! The channels I got kept fading in and out. I’m returning the “high tech” antenna tomorrow and keeping my Terk rabbit ears.
2 Stars Doesn’t work very well
I have tried this antenna many times camping. I have tried it in Vermont, the Lake George area of New York, and Connecticut. It never pulled in more than 2-3 stations, and they were always full of snow. None of the stations ever came in even decent.
The only reason I give this antenna 2 stars is because without it reception was even worse. But it is still pretty worthless in my opinion.
I will try this antenna again once I get a Digital Converter. Maybe that will make a difference.
4 Stars Good value. Recommended.
Seems to work fine. Increased my free off the air channels from 1 to 6. The antenna is sensitive and the picture is clear. Recommended!
