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.

Average Rating:
Rating: - An equal to Terk
Easier to assemble than the Terk. Antenna elements must be straightened (easy to do). Less expensive. Excellent reception through many walls.
Rating: - Exellent product
Compared to other Antennas I tried this was far superior. I can get a signal in a lot of places. It even got a signal in a basement with no windows.
Rating: - Slightly better than rabbit ears
This antenna didn't do much for us - it worked slightly better than our rabbit ears. It pulled in the signals less than 6 miles away but couldn't do much with those 6+, which is similar to rabbit ears.
Rating: - ok antenna
This antenna did not fare as well as an old, cheap rca antenna I bought about 6 years ago. I expected a bit better, but it still picked up most broadcast channels.
Rating: - Ok antenna for the price
This antenna performs a bit better than the "rabbit ears" that I was using before. I am still not happy with the reception though, and I will be installing a large outdoor antenna very soon. If the outdoor antenna would not have become available for free, then I would have built one of the OTA HD antenna designs found on the web and put it in the attic.
