Customer Review: Who Needs Cable?
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't watch much TV and, therefore, couldn't justify the price of getting cable, so I decided to give this antenna a try. The antenna brings in channels that are crystal clear, and I don't even need to adjust the "rabbit ears" for every channel. The extra long "rabbit ears" work wonders, and another great thing is that it comes with an attachment that allows the antenna to be connected to a TV's cable jack. All in all, this is an awesome antenna and I recommend it to everyone who is looking to ditch their cable company.Customer Review: UHF ok, VHF is separate with no attachment!
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm not impressed. This is a UHF antenna that comes with a completely separate VHF "loop" that you have to attach entirely separately directly to the back of your TV, and if your TV doesn't have the VHF screws on the back of it, there are no suggestions for other ways to attach the antenna--not that there is any SPACE among all the wires back there even if my TV had the screws... I gave two stars because the UHF antenna does work, but I do not recommend this product unless you know how to jury-gig a VHF antenna.Customer Review: Best Antenna for the Money
Summary: 5 Stars
Just received this antenna today and hooked it up to our Dish TR-40cra ([...]) analog to digital converter and it works fabulously! We live in a major metropolitan area and our TV is in the basement. With the converter and antenna we were able to get all of our regular stations (with no analog fuzz!) plus several other extra channels.
I previously had an expensive Radio Shack antenna hooked up to the converter box and the reception we were able to get with it was much weaker than with this antenna.
Customer Review: Doesn't work very well
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Customer Review: No contest
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
