1 out of 5 stars Works No better than $2 vhf/uhf antenna   July 5, 2010
BeaBoo (Minneapolis, MN)
Bought this hoping to improve the over-the-air channel signal on my HDTV. Unfortunately this did not work better nor as well as my $2.50 Philips rabbit ear antenna. The channels actually were more unstable with a weaker signal and lost connection. As soon as I switched back to the rabbit ears the signal came in and was fairly stable with a clear picture. Needless to say I will be returning this so called amplified HDTV antenna that cost over ten times as much but performance was ten times more inferior to the good ole rabbit ears.


4 out of 5 stars Best out of my 3 antennas   June 7, 2010
N. Jacks (Central Florida)
I have four televisions. Two are digital and just needed an antenna when I canceled cable. Two are older and needed convertor boxes. I bought this GE antenna for my older set because I wanted to get a better signal since it was not a digital set. I scanned properly using the instructions for scanning channels. At first I was not getting the channels. I re-read my instructions and you have to scan the channels using the Convertor remote control. After I did that, I ended up having 52 channels for free. Granted, two things. First off I am in the Orlando metro area so I am close to a lot of the towers. Secondly, some of the weaker channels freeze up. I do get about 30 out of 52 channels at better qaulity than I was getting through the cable company. Just 6 months of not paying for cable will pay for my 4 antennas and two convertor boxes and I don't have to worry about the cable going out. I would recommend this antenna. Out of the 3 I currently own ( I need to buy one more for other tv ) this is by far the most impressive. This one has the amplification and really helps. Not sure what issues the other rater was having but one of three things must be going on with them. #1 they live outside of signal area #2 they are not properly scanning the channels or setting up the system or #3, like they said, maybe theirs is defective.


1 out of 5 stars ZERO signal strength for all channels   October 17, 2009
J.M. (Boston, MA USA)
Either the unit I bought is defective or it is just crap. Because I did not get any channels, absolutely zero signal strength on all channels. I get better reception with a single dipole/telescoping antenna. I will be returning the one I bought for something else.
