Digital camera reviews of Zenith ZHDTV1 HDTV-UHF Digital Indoor Antenna (Silver and Black)
Digital camera Review: Best of all I tried
Summary: 5 Stars
Most recently I was using a Radio Shack amplified antenna that needed to be tuned for each channel I was watching, which was a pain in the rear but my only hope to get a useable picture.
Based on the recommendations here I decided to try this antenna.
Well, it is far superior, and needs no tuning when I flip channels.
The difference is simply astonishing, highly recommended!
Digital camera Review: Better alternatives for the same price!

According to Antennaweb, I live about 20 miles from the transmitters, here ourside Boston. I got the Silver Sensor antenna to go with the DVICO Gold-T tuner card for my PC. Of the 7 or 8 stations I ought to be able to pick up, I could only get 4. I live in a two-story house and couldn't get consistent reception anywhere; the signal strength would flake in and out. The I read about a cheap UHF antenna (model 15-2160) at RadioShack and gave it a try. I can now get all 8 stations without fiddling with the direction and all that. It seems like you either love or hate this antenna. For the same $20, buy an antenna that will not disappoint.Digital camera Review: Better than I thought even after reading good reviews!

I was obsessed with finding a good antenna for my HD STB, and tried many. This little antenna outperformed my big rooftop UHF/VHF antenna that was mounted in the attic, and all other indoor antennas by far (given that I live 35 miles from the broadcast stations and they're all together). I think a rooftop mounted UHF antenna would probably be better if you lived much farther from the broadcast station, and they were scattered all around you.
Bottomline, if you live 35 miles or less from the broadcasting stations, they're centrally located (b/c this antenna is highly directional), and know which direction to point it, this is a fantastic product! One word of caution, I had to install this antenna on the second floor of my house to get it to work perfectly and use a $$$ preamp I bought at [local store]. On the first floor, it only worked so-so, it might be the trees in front of my house.
Digital camera Review: Better than competing products

I had struggled to use an unsightly Radio Shack powered HDTV indoor antenna without success. I replaced the powered antenna with this non-powered indoor antenna, and within seconds I was getting clear HDTV pictures without power cords and obtrusive mounts. This is a wonderful product!Digital camera Review: Better than expected!

I purchased a $50 amplified Radio Shack antenna two weeks ago for my brand new HDTV. I came across the ZHDTV1 for $15 at a local outlet store and decided it was worth a try. This little guy worked BETTER than the $50 Radio Shack antenna - in fact, it managed to get two stations that the more expensive antenna wouldn't get. It works flawlessly. On the RS model I kept having to adjust the gain level and direction (via remote control). With this little antenna, all I had to do was sit it next to the TV and it did an impeccable job without needing any adjustment whatsoever. The only weakness is that it's cheaply made, but otherwise it is rock solid. I'm in between Boston and Providence so I am able to pull all the OTA channels without a problem. Needless to say the RS antenna went back!
