Also, I found out that although this antenna does give me stronger reception than traditional rabbit ears, I still need a stronger antenna (most likely an outdoor antenna) in order to watch digital TV. Figuring out how to connect it was easy enough but it would have been nice to have some instructions as far as tips for getting the best reception. It took a lot of fiddling around to find the right adjustments. I bought this antenna because I got a DTV converter box and my 15 year old rabbit ears weren't picking up a strong enough signal for digital TV. I like that there are many different adjustments you can make to it in order to fine tune reception (adjust the antenna, adjust the knobs, etc). This amplified antenna does pick up a much stronger signal than my old rabbit ears. However, this antenna did not come with instructions.
The reception couldn't be better. I am enjoying great reception with an analog black and white tv and a digital converter box. I get 24 channels now in my kitchen.
(HD reception will depend on location, building set up, etc. sure beats paying over $100/month for HDTV cable if you don't watch much tv. of course) inexpensive indoor antenna that works ok overall. surprisingly, hooked it up to an HDTV randomly and am able to get about 20 crystal clear channels, 5 in HD, 6 in digital.
It will drive you nuts. If you want to watch more than one channel, don't get this. This antenna will pick up the signals but so does my broken antenna. The quality is not good and you have to set a different position for every channel.
As everyone else has already stated, you get better signal with old rabbit ears. Don't waste your time or money with this.
