Customer Review: Say Goodbye to the Cable Bill!
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I have been finding new ways to pinch pennies due to the poor economy. I decided that I'd try to find a way to lessen the pound of flesh Comcast takes from us every month for television (after all, we mainly only watch the free channels, anyway). We live in the 3rd story of an apartment complex in Eden Prairie, MN (about 20 miles away from most of the towers). After finding the best spot in the apartment for the antenna and some tweaking, I was amazed to discover that we were able to receive all of the major networks in crisp HD quality. This antenna has and will continue to pay for itself many, many times over.Customer Review: Great HD Reception (TV and Computer)
Summary: 5 Stars
Initially purchased the antenna to receive additional HD not included on cable on my HD TV. Have since paired this antenna with an ATI TV Wonder 650 for HD reception and recording on my computer. It works FANTASTICALLY. Highly recommended NON-POWERED antenna. I live ~25 miles from tower in San Francisco.
(Update 1/2010) Upgraded computer to Windows 7 Ultimate. The ATI TV Wonder 650 does not have drivers to support Win7, and it doesn't look like they will be coming soon. Replaced the ATI with a Hauppauge Win TV HVR-1600. It works GREAT and the antenna is one of the best investments I've ever made.
Customer Review: Best HDTV antenna for UHF
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never written a review on any product. This product works so good for so cheap it compelled me to do so. First off I tried 2 other antennas before ordering this cheap little antenna. I could not get a consistent single with either antenna. My signal meter on the TV would read up and down from 60-70 % until I bought this antenna and then a consistent 80-90 % just like that. It is best to make sure it is pointed in the correct position but after that you are home free. So this little antenna not amplified gave me a consistent 20 % better signal then any other antenna I've tried. Location Austin, Tx. AreaCustomer Review: Got 30+ digital channel crispy clear Manhattan high rise building
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in a high rise building in upper east side of new york city. My window faces east, the signal comes from south (empire state building). I placed this antenna close to the east facing window. It picks up over 50 channels (including 3 HD channels), out of which 30+ digital channels are crispy clear. That's the thing, digital channels are very good, analog channels are not good. I'm on a high floor, with another apartment between me and the empire state building. So close to the east facing window is the only sweet spot in my apartment.
Highly recommend this to New York City high rise residents.
Customer Review: Wonderful HDTV antenna
Summary: 5 Stars
As some other reviewer mentioned here, I am not sure why I was paying lot of monthly charges to cable guys for basic channels when I got them with this cheap HDTV antenna. This was a steal for $[...] and picked up the signal right away. I just had to position the antenna in a certain direction to get NBC along with FOX, CBS, PBS etc.,
The antenna looks very flimsy but what do you expect for a low price. All it matters to me is, it does the work as described.
BTW, based on the [...] I am close to 35 miles to all the stations. I am sure this should be making a difference.
