 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.
digital antenna - it works! July 15, 2008
I got the antenna last night and I was skeptical that it would work after I opened the box. It doesn't plug into the wall? that perplexed me - because I was replacing an RCA analog antenna that did.
I re-ran the set up program to scan channels - and comparing the analog to digital - these are the results
RCA analog = 17 analog channels - only 6 that worked well
PHILIPS digital = 13 analog channels (more than half work well) - and 16 digital channels
Most of the digital channels were mirrors of the analog channels - but in 1080i definition - clear as they come. And those few extra added were icing on the cake.
I will need to explore how the antenna works still - because I noted that most of the digital are showing in full screen, while the analog are showing wide screen. I'd prefer them all to run as wide screen. I'm wondering if there's a setting on the tv that I need to change to, for this - or if it is the channel signal.
I also was hoping that the antenna would have an HDMI connection - but, it's a regular optical connection. Still - I'm impressed with the output and am glad I tried a digital antenna and am NOT paying a monthly cable charge for access to basic TV (all the major networks + a little more).
Excellent antenna for both analog and digital TV use - VHF and UHF July 6, 2008

I purchased this item over a month ago in anticipation of getting the converter boxes necessary for over the air digital TV. I was using it on my old analog set and it brought in all my local stations, both VHF and UHF. I'm 20 miles west of Chicago and even CBS 2 (which is usually a fuzzy picture) came in fairly clearly. I just attached the digital converter box and was amazed that I got 10 more stations and a gorgeous clear picture on all stations without having to move the antenna position at all. I have it on top of a high bookcase behind the TV. The only problem is I cannot get a signal for CBS2 in the Chicago area. I've heard from others with the converter boxes that they can't bring in channel 2 either, so for that one station, I have to bypass the box and go back to the analog reception. I got one of the converter boxes from Best Buy (the Apex) that has the Analog pass thru feature. But I am getting over 40 channels, all my regular VHF and UHF plus an extra 12 digital channels. Other than it being a rather "flimsy" antenna, since I don't move it around much, hopefully it will hold up. Great digital reception.
