Negative Positive
Title: Underwhelming
Review: For all its hi-tech appearance, this antenna performs surprisingly poorly. It was unable to receive some important channels in our area, no matter how it was aimed. I bought the antenna for my daughter, who lives about a mile from me. The antenna performs little better than the VHF/UHF rabbit ears I use on our own second TV. We are less than 20 miles from the transmitters. The antenna is also misrepresented in the ads. It is said to be directional, and it is directional for UHF channels, but the VHF portion is plain vanilla rabbit ears, which are a simple dipole, and thus non-directional. Since the problem here is multi-path interference, as it is in many places, a directional antenna is essential. My daughter had to have an outdoor directional (yagi) antenna installed to get acceptable reception. This antenna, and probably all indoor "HDTV" antennas, is greatly overrated, and in my opinion, unsatisfactory.
Is the review positive or negative?
