5 out of 5 stars great antenna for the digital converter box   September 7, 2010
Spitzer
I have old TVs (from the 90's) hooked to converter boxes and was using cheap rabbit ear antennas. The signal was awful and the picture constantly pixilated.

I bought this antenna at Walmart yesterday and hooked it up this morning. I re-scanned for channels and got several more than I had. And each channel came in perfectly clear. The picture has not once pixilated.

I'm very pleased with this antenna and would recommend it to anyone with an older TV using digital converter boxes.

Works great, the picture quality is better with this antenna than I was getting with cable. I'm picking up more channels than I expected, hd and stadard. I'm using it with an hd tv, in a two story house, by the woods, if that's helpful to anyone.


5 out of 5 stars Great Antenna Very affordable and works great for digital channels   August 11, 2010

OK, so I live in an apartment building with an antenna on the roof and wired jacks connecting to this antenna in each apartment.

Originally I using the basic local package from the cable company and decided I didn't watch enough Live tv to continue paying for the package. So now I only receive internet service through the cable company.

Then when over the air broadcasts switched to digital i connected to the digital antenna on the roof and was able to get over 40 channels free. then this last summer the antenna on the roof has been very unreliable. I'd lose signal completely or it would pixelate really bad. I bought this antenna yesterday from walmart, for $27 and it works like a charm. I positioned it against the window and get anywhere from 50% to 100% signal and I get 42 channels. I have two flat screen tvs with digital ATSC tuners built in.
So I seem to get one more channel with this antenna then I did with the roof.

As far as the two reviews that say they had trouble with reception:

As always with any antenna, geographic location, building materials, antenna placement strength of signal all play a part in how well reception will be received.

Also I know people with analog tube TVs that have a digital box. Personally I have read up on those boxes and they aren't are reliable as a new digital TV. In fact, most of the boxes i could find reviews on only had 1 or 2 stars. Most report the boxes having a short life, or inconsistent ability to hold, or even tune into a signal.


P.S. I live in central florida which is flat. And my apartment is in a high rise, so i'm sure both factors help reception for me.


One Last thing, I have gain turned up on max and i get great signal results. I have two tvs one in the living room and one in the bedroom, the antenna is shared between them with a splitter. People would assume one tv might not work as well due to signal loss, but on the contrary, both tvs are great with very crisp signals.



3 out of 5 stars UHF worked great, VHF, not so much.   March 4, 2010

It's amplified, so I get HD reception from -70 db or greater UHF stations without obstructions and with the proper orientation. But, even with [...] and a compass, I couldn't pick up a single VHF channel no matter how hard I adjusted the rabbit ears.

I'm still shopping.

I bought this antenna to try to get an out-of-town HD radio station. It didn't work for that but it does improve some local stations.
