 Great Philips PHDTV1 Silver Sensor UHF Antenna August 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Philips PHDTV1 Silver Sensor UHF antenna was delivered to my home last night (8/18/2008).
I connect it to my Zenith DTT900 converter ( I bought it using a [...]$ coupon: https://www.dtv2009.gov/ )then to my old analog TV. I was so happy. It captured all digital TV stations from 2 to 62. The pictures were clear, crisp and 100% free of snow. I live at zip code 92656 and the broadcast stations are in Los Angeles, 47 miles away. The little antenna did a great job of pulling the signal out of the air.
Nothing Else Worked! August 18, 2008

My sister lives in an apartment on the 2nd floor of her building. She purchased a new digital tv but does not have cable. We needed to find her an antenna that would bring in the digital signals. We tried at least 6 others (she was getting tired of returning them!). I did some research online and decided to try this one. First I tried it at my own home in our family room. I was disappointed. It didn't do very well---could not pull the stations in like our RCA 525 does. I thought she would be returning this one also. BUT---when I hooked it up to her tv in her apartment--wow. All the channels came in clearly. I was very surprised. Once in awhile she has to move the antenna's position a little. Otherwise it is great for her. She is quite possibly closer to the signal strength of the stations that we are. We live in another town.
One of the negative things about this antenna is how topheavy/lightweight it is. You have to be careful of that. She puts a weighted stuffed cat on it to help hold it down.
My opinion on great "digital" antennas (no such thing by the way---you can try any antenna--don't let advertising fool you)is this: keep trying them until you find one that works in your location--there are no guarantees!
 Good antenna when it worked... August 2, 2008

I live in a brick building on the north side of Chicago. I got this antenna first so that I could watch Lost in HD.
On first impression the antenna is very cheaply made. It uses plastic and you can even see the paint bubbles.
To actually get a signal, I had to position the antenna in all types of directions which would take me anywhere from 1-15minutes to get the perfect direction. If moved the signal would drop anywhere from 1-3 seconds.
I know antennas are location/situation specific but this antenna did not work at all for me.
I was finally fed up with its poor performance so I bought the Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception. I no longer have to change the direction of the antenna and I get better reception than ever.
When it worked, the antenna did work fairly well, however everything leading up to that was too unbearable to put up with.
With my new antenna I can know that I will be able to watch the Olympics in clear HD without worrying about the direction of my antenna.
Excellent for DTV reception! August 1, 2008
I love this product because of the ease of use. No long antenna's to rearrange only to get every other channel. Just put it together and hook-up and leave it to do all the work.
awesome! July 29, 2008
This antenna is everything I hoped for! I have a new TV and am already watching the digital channels.
