Consumer review (newegg.com)

Not much luck

I wasn't able to get any channels with this. I tried another antenna and I got two channels at least. When I bought it, it cost 15 dollars more too. Oh well

I can't think of any

Could not get one channel

Worked good, when it worked

Right after the warranty expired it went out on me (surprise). I guess the "amplifier" went bad. Really unusual though because when I unplug that, I get a few of the higher channels - 32 and up. Plug it in again and those go away, and some of the lower...

When it was working, it worked quite well. Nice mount. Decent small size

Power supply cord is a bit short

Amplified Antenna

It works a lot better than our old one did & it was easy to install

The screws were a little to short

Solid

This antenna definitely gets the job done. The picture I get from this antenna is much better than my analog basic-cable. The wall mount is easy to use. I mounted it just on a piece of wood so that I can prop it up inside. I'm sure you'd get a better...

None, really

I should have returned this item

I have sat TV with locals but sat TV does not have Cubo the kiddie channel. so I wanted to set up a TV for the little one. I found a corner where a signal finally came through. I wish I would have gotten a better antenna.

looks ok

I moved it everywhere, inside, outside, high, low. couldn't get the major digital channels. it is no better than my old analog rabbit ears

No good for VHF!

The included cable may be handy to "just check things out" but is likely too short for most installations. This antenna requires power (fed through the coax); keep that in mind when planning your cabling and esp. the location and type of splitters if...

Works fine for UHF ; While reception wasn't better than my old indoor antenna, the situation improved quite a bit once set up outdoor, as should be expected. Installation of the antenna itself was easy (cabling is another matter)

Very poor performance on VHF, to the point I'm considering returning this item ; Completely lost DTV channel 7 (KGO here); signal on ch 12 was marginal with my old rabbit ear indoor and hasn't improved with this thing on top of the roof (and yes, I've...
