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.

 Silver Sensor great buy for the money July 25, 2008
Having a need for portable DTV 8VSB reception I looked around for reasonably priced UHF only set top antennas. I read a few reviews and Blogs claiming the Philips Silver Sensor antenna was highly recommended. I bought two from Amazon dot com, best choice I could have made.
I coupled the Philips Silver Sensor to my Zenith DTT900 ATSC converter box and was amazed at the reception. It does a better job than most set tops at rejecting off axis signals, in other words it is MORE DIRECTIONAL than the run of the mill UHF LOOP type set top antennas.
The antenna is not built heavy duty but is reasonable for most applications. It is a log-periodic directional wide band Yagi.
Being light and easy to assemble and disassemble it is great for trips such as vacations. It comes boxed as three pieces, the antenna, the base and mounting strut. There is a 75 ohm coaxial cable fitted with F connectors included for connection to your set.
A real plus to this antenna is the fact that the antenna itself has an F connector on the back end of the antenna and not a permanently connected cable. You can use the cable that came with it or choose a low loss longer cable for portable DXing.
I recommend this antenna to anyone needing UHF only local DTV reception, it does a great job.
 Philips PHDTV1 UHF/HDTV indoor antenna performance July 25, 2008
I bought a Philips PHDTV1 UHF/HDTV indoor antenna in order to use my 19" brand new Sharp LCD TV. I live about 15 miles away from Manhattan where most of the HDTV stations are located. I was extremely disappointed that the signals received were very poor. I replaced it with a Radio Shack indoor antenna (catalog #15-1868) and it pulls in all the HDTV stations crystal clear and this antenna cost me less than $20.00. Therefore, I have to conclude that the Philips antenna that I bought is piece of junk and I do not recommend anyone to buy it.
Great item at a great price! July 23, 2008
Perfect inexpensive antenna for the new digital UHF/HDTV converter. No need to spend more money when this works perfectly.
Better than those old "Rabbit Ears" July 22, 2008
After reading reviews on various HD antennas, I settle on the Philips PHDTV1. It was easy to assemble (no screws; everything snaps into place), and it fit easily on my TV. With the "rabbit ears", there were a couple of stations that I would only pick up sporadically. Once I started using the HDTV1, I received all of the digital stations and with improved signal strength. I would definitely recommend this for your TV if you are getting over the air transmissions!!
 Amazing antenna with design flaw July 19, 2008
This is my second silver sensor. These devices perform better than any "rabbit ears" I have ever used. However, the second one had a faulty cable connecter which I was unable to repair. I had attached a cable but could not unscrew it. I tried to use pliers to loosen it but only suceeded in twisting the wires until they broke.
