I've got to tell you that this rabbit ear antenna actually works pretty well. I just installed it and it's picking up all of the local channels it should and I live in a concrete/steel high rise with the TV/antenna on an interior wall in downtown district in NEPA. Thanks for the recommendation, @AntennaMan!

As an apartment dweller,i am always glued to the screen on your indoor antenna videos. So many cord cutters are subject to rental agreements that deprive them of the ability to access an outdoor antenna. I definitely like the versatility of this antenna as to placement.

I ordered the antenna you reviewed in this video using the link you provided, and it arrived today. I put it in the same place as the old antenna (similar to thes the one on top of your TV in your videos) and left the pre-amp that came with the other antenna in-line. So, the only thing that was changed was the antenna. Wow - It worked great! Thank you! I scanned channels before swapping it out, and got 67 channels. After swapping it, I got 91 channels. Thank you for suggesting it. I can't "thank you enough."

Tested the Antenna today. Very impressed with the performance. First tested it from 28 miles away and had no problem picking up channels. Received the VHF Channel 2 NBC Channel after moving it a few times. A first for an indoor Antenna in my area to get the NBC VHF Channel. That is the key to this antenna is to move it to find the ideal spot. This Antenna beats all of the Mohu Leaf Antennas I have tested. For the price, this is one of the best for sure. My son will be testing it at UCF later and he will be much closer to the towers. Thanks, Tyler.

Hey amigo! This is HANDS DOWN the best bang for your buck antenna! I was using a flat antenna outside and this thing indoors BESTED it in SPADES! In fact, it picked up 15 more channels than any other previous antennas that I have used in the past. I just hooked up 20ft coaxial cable and hid the antenna high up on a window behind a curtain that is always closed so it can't be seen. I also used the little amplifier that came with the flat plastic antenna and it boosted the numbers on the tv signal meter to 98 and 100 on most channels. I decided not to use the amp because I was still drawing in rock steady 86 to 98 with it on the majority of the channels. Since then I have bought 3 more of these for my other sets. For just $11.25 this is a no brainer! Thanks again for your review. Btw, do you have an antenna rankings chart? Oh..I also did a review on Amazon giving you your deserved props!

I LOVE THIS THING! I previously tried the Mohu and Flatenna larger offerings, used shipping tape to affix them white side out on a condo window. My favorite station never could get unbroken reception, VHF channelm 10 around 195MHz. I tried a simple telescoping whip with a magnet, but hard to get it in the right spot AND in the right orientation. This cheap Philips antenna though, wow, I TAPED the top of the loop onto the window, the large black puck hanging down with both antenna elements simply sticking out to each side...BAM, I now have VHF reception across the board. YAY. Interesting note when testing positioning via Sony TV. SNR was the only thing that mattered, as a 50 for RSSI with 20 SNR got a signal, but a 70 RSSI with 18 SNR would not, which was really odd. If you place these suckers vertically instead of horizontally, you can get a similar really high yet undecodable signal.

In fact, well over 70 years for just the rabbit ears (for VHF). In my experience over the years, this type of indoor TV antenna had almost DOUBLE the range in the NTSC era as when compared to ATSC 1.0. So back in analog days, a rabbit ears and loop could get you a snowy but watchable picture in moderate signal areas. Sometimes old technology has a few strengths over the new.

I am amazed…. 40+ miles from broadcast towers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Before using this antenna, I was resigned to installing an outdoor antenna. Now maybe not.

As I found out with the Channel Master 35 indoor antenna, I do get all 6 of our translators, then several that are listed as "Fair". So some indoor antenna can get weaker signals. Will not match an outdoor antenna, but some work very well. With any indoor antenna placement is very important, as the indoor antenna only has a small amount of gain. Great video!

Surprising results given the price for this antenna. My family subscribes to cable TV but I've been looking to get an antenna just out of curiosity to see how many channels I'll get in my area. As mentioned in a comment on a previous video, I was able to get around 20 channels using a paper clip on my older 32 inch TV. I now have a 40 inch TV that's mounted to the wall so it's very hard to get OTA TV signals now. I'm torn between this antenna and the Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro. Broadcast towers are within 20 miles of my house so I'm wanting to get as many channels as I can with an antenna.

I live in an apartment community, and our local stations are 25 miles away, and I bought this antenna, as my Winegard flat antenna couldn't pull in the two high VHF stations in my area. I was pleasantly surprised that not only do I get excellent signal strength for the two high VHF stations, but the antenna pulls in 20 more UHF TV stations than the Winegard antenna. It is worth the time and money to try the Philips antenna if one lives in an apartment, using Tyler's link above of course! 😀

Tyler... Note: I have no connection with anyone in the broadcast industry. So an amplified indoor flat panel antenna of mine died. I replaced it with this Philips antenna after seeing your video - after all, for les than $15 it's no great loss if this doesn't work. Well, it replaced the other, amplified antenna and without the preamp that the other one had built in. I would say this antenna worked as well as the old one did. My market is DFW and I am about 30 miles from the local antenna "farm". Our channel 8 (ABC) is the only VHF one and works perfectly with this antenna. Thanks for the review. This one is a bargain.

WTEN, ABC & WXXA, FOX are owned by Nextstar so of course there’s no local repeaters.

I've actually had this antenna for the past year or so. I was so impressed with it that I bought another. Would a booster of some sort help with the signals a bit more? I've never bought a booster before. The cord is a bit short so I feel like I'm a bit limited in being able to place the antenna strategically(and I don't want to get an extension cord which will weaken the signal).

This Antenna performs better then the $40 RCA Amplified Antenna I also purchased. I am about 18 miles from all the broadcast towers for the Detroit market. Sitting behind my 55” TCL TV, on a tv stand about 4’ off the ground I am able to get: Fox, NBC, ABC, ION, (31) Independent, (50.1) CW, PBS, and CBS. All sub channels as well of course. There is a delicate balance in getting solid reception for Fox, which is a HI-V (VHF) station and NBC-CBS Due to the placement of the towers, but I can report this antenna can due that from my range. You will have to take some time to make incremental adjustments. Your tv tuner has a lot to do with this as well, of the 4 TCL TV’s I have owned I will say their NTSC GEN 1 tuners offer really good performance. I need to say something about the Fox 2 (VHF) channel. Yesterday morning all was well watching Fox 2 news and switching between that and the Fox Weather sub channel until me and my son started our 3d printer in the room behind the tv for a really long print. Fox 2 (2.1) became unwatchable. in fact, after I ran a bunch of channel scans thinking something was wrong it was never picked up again until we shut off the 3d printer! After that everything went back to the way it was before. Just a heads up, it drove me fricking crazy the whole day. I was searching local Reddit threads to see if other people have had this issue. One guy remarked about his microwave causing an issue with his Fox 2 news reception when it was in use and that kinda tipped me off.

I live in rockford and pick up madison wisconsin, 70 miles away. I am however on the 6th floor of highrise. So yes this is a great antenna. Many madison stations come in crystal clear, again 70 miles away but only with amplifier.

Looking for a video that gives strategies for what position (angle) to place the rabbit ear antennas. For example, a "V" or an "L" etc.

Wide V is usually the best but the best way to find out is with a signal meter. See video below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5CmqmNurZqkm7s

I saw Antop makes 3 indoor rabbit ear antennas that are on sale. Two are this style (under $20), but one allows the loop to be rotated and the third one is an amplified flat antenna with dipoles ($35) All 3 have dipoles that extend up to 20". I am going to ask if they use RG59 or RG6 coax.

We are in the Sierra Foothills. We have a 1970's a Weingard rooftop antenna on our house. It has a signal amplifier. With a digital converter box we get 64 channels for free. From stations over 100 miles away. My son could probably contact the International Space Station if he knew the phone number. He's a computer nut.

I tried with this antenna and I received only one broadcast channel, CBS. I'm located in Staten Island, NY. I realize I have to make adjustments to the location of the antenna and various other things to do with it, but I think no matter what I try the channels won't be as what I want them to be. Maybe in the near future I will readdress but as of now, I'll be happy streaming YTTV.

Hey Tyler been a fan of your channel for a few years and you have some good content. Unfortunately I have to unsubscribe due to your channel due to the slow increase in your endorsement of products unrelated to your channel. I'm almost two minutes in and you've yet to begin with anything relevant to antennas. I realize you have to make a buck. Wish you the best sirr

My KZbin channel operates similar to a TV station. Just like TV stations - I will occasionally take sponsorships to help support the channel. You'll see the same exact thing in local news and on any local TV channel.

Have you ever tested a device that you plug into an outlet that is supposed to turn the electrical wiring in your house into an antenna? If not, I would like to see you test one of these types of devices and see how they work.

I'm pretty sure he reviewed one, and the results were poor. Household wiring isn't matched to any particular frequency. Might have better luck with the paperclip!

Connect it to your TV and run a channel scan. You may need a signal meter to find the best location for it. See video below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5CmqmNurZqkm7s
