Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips PHDTV1 Silver Sensor UHF/HDTV Digital Indoor TV AntennaCustomer Review: Great reception -- at least if you live in a city Summary: 5 Stars
I live in San Francisco, less than two miles from Sutro Tower -- the giant radio tower that looms over the city and hosts broadcast antennas for all the local stations. So it is not surprising that I would get good reception.
However, before getting this antenna, I got nothing. Zero, zilch, nada. With it, I get every digital HDTV channel in the area without any adjustments and with no interference or problems. I get dozens of them. It's like getting HD cable for free.
If you live in or near a city with concentrated broadcasting, this little indoor antenna is all you need.
Customer Review: Awesome Antenna Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the antenna at Circuit City, just to give it a shot.The antenna was so good that I cancelled my basic cable service and returned the HDTV descrambler or whatever they call it,the same day.I couldn't believe all this time I paid $35 a month for something that is available free.
Antenna didn't need any pointing or directing,It picked up all the HD channels available in the area.The signal remained the same wonderful quality irrespective of the position or the angle.
I guess my location being in close proximity(6 -10 miles) to broadcast stations also helped.
Great antenna.
Customer Review: The Search Is Over Summary: 5 Stars
This antenna is fantastic. I thought that this was cheap enough to try, never believing that it would solve the annoyances of the other ones I'd purchased. Living in an area where 80% of the population has to have cable to get anything on the TV, I was happy to get the 8 channels that were watchable & the 9 digital channels that I could catch if I moved the antenna. With the Philips Silver Sensor, I don't have to change the location each time I change the channel. The biggest suprise was channel scanning produced 24 regular channels & 35 digital channels!!!
Customer Review: Does what it says it will Summary: 5 Stars
With this I was able to get a clean digital signal from stations in New York, about 50 miles away. I didn't even have to point the antenna out a window. This is particularly nice since it allows me to put the antenna up on top of a cabinet where it isn't likely to get damaged, and it does feel a bit frail. And depending on where you live, the directionality of the antenna may be a blessing or a curse. Be sure to find out where the nearest transmitter towers are first. But given my needs, and for such an inexpensive product, I have no complaints.
Customer Review: Best Indoor Antenna Summary: 5 Stars
My son lives in a dorm room in Boston with no access to cable. He has a small 15 inch HDTV (Element - Circuit City Brand). He had what we thought was a good antenna also purchased at Circuit City for twice the price of this antenna. He barely picked up any channels. He purchased this antenna and now picks up every HD channel available in Boston plus many other channels he could not get before. The HDTV channels are clearer than my channels through cable. Never thought an antenna would make such a big difference.
