Worst antenna I've ever tried

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
Mortman - 4 months ago
I have used several antennas over the years and this is by far the worst. I currently have two in service right now. I purchased this to see if I could make an improvement over one of them. It's performance was not even close to the other two antennas. This is one of the more expensive antennas but the least effective. Clearly your can't judge an antenna by price.

50 Miles north of Denver. I needed an amplified antenna for local channels. This Elite antenna by Philips works perfectly. Very affordable and easy to setup. Don't believe the bad reviews. The person probably didn't understand how to use the antenna or the setup. I have been buying Philips products for years and they are the best.

Claudia - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
What a piece of junk. Right away, the signal strength light said we had a full strong signal, no matter where we moved it. Followed the directions,scanned for TV channels, found 0 at most places, then 6 in one spot-which would’ve been fine except when I went to see what channels it added, there were none. Tried it on another TV in the house and although it said it found 24 channels, we once again couldn’t find any when we tried to watch them. Rabbitear.com said I should be able to get lots of channels in my area. Called the customer service number (It says all over the directions not to return to the store without calling them first) and the person I spoke to was the worst. No directions or suggestions to follow. Needless to say I’m returning it. I’d suggest going with an antenna with rabbit ears-everyone I know who has those has no issues.

Great antenna, works better than the flat one I had taped to my wall. U have to move it around and position to get best signal. I live about 15 miles south of a major city; that makes a difference with signal strength.

Target seems a little crazy here. Supposedly the regular price of this antenna is $41.99, currently at the time of this review it's on sale for $31.99. Not so crazy, huh? Except get it in store and it's literally more than twice the price at $65.99. Ok, yes this specifies here that what's listed here is the price bought online, but it's still crazy that it's more than twice as much merely by getting it in store. Luckily Target happily price matches their online stores pricing so all you have to do is make sure it's on sale online and then show them when you get it if you're shopping in store. Meanwhile for how good of an antenna this is, well, it's out by a very recognizable & respected brand in electronics and it essentially has everything you want in an indoor TV antenna. Ok, being an indoor model it's somewhat limited compared to an outdoor model, but that doesn't by any means that this sucks or is any kind of bad, just that an outdoor model is undoubtedly going to be better for how many channels it'll pickup. So let's compare this to other indoor antennas for a more fair comparison. And by that token this antenna ranks extremely high. Probably not number one, but definitely top 5 of what's currently on the market. Terk & Mohu are others who are making excellent performing indoor antennas right now, but they come at a higher price point. And this is plenty sufficient for as it is. The cord could be a little longer, but it's also long enough to be manageable. Not sure exactly what I make of the signal finder technology here, but the overall product is a very well performing one and at the end of it that's really all that matters, right?

eliz718 - 2 years ago, Verified purchaser
I bought three HD antennas to comapre and found this one the best performing. If you are going with an indoor antenna you are going to need to move it around (further than the 10 ft cord it comes it) to get the most channels. And I mean everytime you use it unless you are at a high elevation. I suggest theEleMiniKin TV Antenna Extention Coaxial Cable (15 feet) with Coupler - Digital Audio Video Coax Cable Cord for HDTV, CATV, Cable Modem, Satellite Receivers Brand: EleMiniKin for ten dollars at the big online retailer that starts with an A. I was able to pull in 20 channels after getting a mere 4. This anntenna is priced lower online for some reason at Target.
