Flatlanders rejoice! May 31, 2010 sdfarmer (south dakota) If you live on the plains, as we do, you will be very happy with this item. We get good reception from up to 60 miles away. Consistently, it's 50+ miles. However, nothing can overcome thunderstorms; and, 70 mph winds make outside antennas untennable (meaning twisted and squished). Good solution for us.
Beware! Not for distant DTV signal December 23, 2009 N. Jurkowski (Chicagoland, IL) I've actually had this antenna for several years, and for analog TV signal, this was great for getting both VHF and UHF signals, over 70 miles away! It even picked up a low-powered UHF station over 40 miles away!
BUT FOR DIGITAL TV, it's a different story. I can't get a single station with this! Even a $14 non-powered flat digital antenna was able to pick up 2 stations. Apparently the digital part of this antenna isn't amplified, which means it's barely going to get more than your standard DTV (or HDTV) can get with NO antenna! This is really dumb on Philip's part--you can pick up analog channels over 70 miles away, but not digital stations 30 miles away? With analog signal now gone, this is basically only good for AM and FM radio reception.
Don't waste your money--if you live in the city, get the $14 non-powered antenna. If you're out in the countryside like me, get the $35 powered indoor antenna at Wal-Mart. Skip this!
Just Doesn't Work Very Well April 26, 2009 N. Pham (Huntington Beach, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I usually watch HD cable, but need to pick up some local over the air UHF digital channels. I have a Terk HDTVa antenna on one of my TVs that works pretty well, but needed another one that had a slightly more compact footprint. That is one of the reasons I decided to purchase the Philips MANT-410. The MANT-410 also had a built-in 45db amplifier, one of the stronger amplifiers available that comes with an antenna. After installing, the reception was pretty bad and I found out the amplifier was basically useless. I actually loss TV reception of UHF channels that I could receive when it was turned on and adjusting the gain levels didn't help. One of the rabbit ears also broke off at the base just above the swivel.
Doesn't bring in HDTV stations March 9, 2009 D. Banks It doesn't work with HDTV stations, but it works perfectly fine with analog stations, which means it will be useless after June 12, 2009!
Antenna did nothing for me July 19, 2008 GroundStar (Battle Mountain, NV, USA) This antenna did nothing for my TV. Now I live in the desert without a real TV station with 230 miles but I am surrounded by translators. I only was able to receive one channel, and this was done by grabbing one end of the antenna with my hand. Granted that I live in a bad area, but when I can look out my windows and see the transmitting antenna's I would have thought this item would work, but, nope.
