Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy sparkling high-definition programming without forking over monthly digital cable or satellite fees with this Philips indoor HDTV/UHF antenna. The device is specially designed to receive HD broadcast signals from the major free networks in all primary reception areas. If the affiliate broadcasts in HD, the PHDTV1 will receive it, provided the user also owns an HD-compatible television. The highly directional antenna features a high front-to-back ratio that helps reject unwanted signal corruption, ensuring that your picture comes in clear and true. This feature is especially valuable in dense urban areas with crowded broadcast airwaves, where reflected signals can interfere with HDTV transmission. The antenna also offers a flat front gain slope that balances the reception throughout the UHF frequencies. The result is a consistently high-resolution picture regardless of which channel you choose. The PHDTV1--which also connects to PCs anywhere datacasting is available--has been endorsed by several HDTV-testing committees.

 Phillips PHDTV1 Digital Antenna October 6, 2008
I bought the antenna because I had gotten one of the digital to analog converter boxes. I had read that a regular tv antenna could work, and found that for some channels it did. I am far enough away from the transmitters that I needed a better antenna to get some stations. With this antenna I can pick up all the local stations and occasionally some that are on the fringe range.
The price is good and the product does what I needed so for me it was a good purchase.
Does The Job October 2, 2008
Inexpensive and it works! I haven't tried other more expensive ones to compare to, however for the price of this product, it does the job. Found most digital channels and works 95% of the time - meaning the screen "skips" about 5% of the time, mostly due to inclimate weather (not sure if that has anything to do with the antenna itself).
No fancy gadgets needed September 30, 2008
Great for semi-urban areas...just aim according to the TERK website. Some antannae over shoot the signal with to much GAIN...this is simple and to the point. This version with rabbit ears is not as good.
Great if you live near a water tower September 27, 2008
I live within 5 miles of most of the TV transmitters in my area. I also live within 1/4 mile of a huge water tower. TV, FM, even cell phone signals around here get a ton of interference from multipath thanks to all that RF bouncing off that water tower. With plain old rabbit ears, I couldn't even watch analog TV because of the interference. I've seen some complaints about this being a directional antenna, but that's the whole point of this antenna. It's directional, so it is much, MUCH less sensitive to multipath interference, which was annoying in analog and completely kills digital signals. It may be flimsy but it works, and mine hasn't fallen apart yet. I am able to get all the local channels with this antenna except for one because their transmitter is in the opposite direction. With omnidirectional antennas, I can't get anything.
Digital upgrade September 23, 2008
I ordered these antennae to comply with the digital mandate for all tv's. They work very well.
