Digital camera reviews of Philips PHDTV1 Silver Sensor UHF/HDTV Digital Indoor TV Antenna
Digital camera Review: A Good Antenna If You Need It
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, you don't necessarily need a special antenna just for receiving HDTV broadcasts. Try your old rabbit ears and you might be pleasantly surprised.
In our case, our old antenna worked pretty well, but we had to adjust it differently for different channels, and it was just on the borderline where it would occasionally skip out, so we tried this antenna instead.
The important thing about this antenna is that it is highly directional—you have to point it toward the broadcast tower. In most areas this isn't an issue, as they are usually all on the highest mountain around and you can't miss the red blinking lights at night. In the United States, you can also look up the latitude and longitude of transmitters at http://www.fcc.gov/mb/video/tvq.html, which I would recommend doing before buying this antenna if you don't want to continually turn your antenna when you change channels, and aren't sure if all the transmitters are in the same place or not.
If those conditions work for you, this antenna is a great value for the money. Once we got it pointed correctly, we just left it there and don't give it another thought while it delivers a perfect digital signal.
