Customer Rating:
Summary: Not so good, necessary cable missing
Comment: This product doesn't really work well. What's worse, it requires a coaxial cable to work with any modern television. So saying that it "supports HDMI" or HI Def or whatever... that's a bit misleading. It's pretty much useless to me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't use for HD radio
Comment: Bought based upon another review that claimed the antenna worked well with HD radio. Antenna did nothing to help my Sony HD radio. It performed worse than the antenna system that came with the radio.

Summary: Inexpensive / Simple to Use / Crystal Clear / FREE HDTV
Comment: I just bought a [very] nice 40" Samsung LCD HDTV and haven't coughed up the extra money to upgrade my DirecTV to the HD box, so I read up online about over the air HD antennas and thought I'd give it a try. I figured I'd start with the cheapest antenna I could find and if it didn't work I'd get the next one up.
Well I just bought this Philips Indoor Antenna for $9.99 plugged it in (quick and simple), set it behind the TV and bang got perfect HD reception for my local ABC, FOX, CBS, several PBSs. I realized I didn't get NBC so I moved the arms a little bit and set it on the other side of tv and boom... got NBC HD as well. I was amazed... I sort of just sat back in awe for moment at the clarity. I never knew TV could look so good.
I HIGHLY recommend trying this antenna before spending $40-$100 on some other one that probably won't work as well.

Summary: Can't tune in UHF and VHF at the same time on newer TVs
Comment: I bought this antenna to use with a set-top box in order to receive over-the-air Digital TV. The antenna is advertised as being able to receive VHF (bunny ear dipoles) and UHF (wire loop) signals, but the antenna doesn't come with a 'band combiner'. The manual explains that if your TV or receiver only has a single 'ANT IN' connection (and not separate UHF/VHF inputs, as you may remember seeing on some ancient TVs), then you either have to buy a band combiner (at least $7 incl shipping--search Amazon for 'splitter combiner') or manually switch the screw connections when you change channels.
Most DTV channels are on UHF, but standard TV is still largely on VHF in my area, so I returned this item to Amazon. I also didn't find that the UHF reception was any better than the single piece of wire I was using before (and will use until I buy a powered antenna).
