Magnavox MANT-110 Indoor Passive Antenna Reviews
I just bought a [very] nice 40" Samsung LCD HDTV and haven't coughed up the extra money to upgrade my DirecTV to the HD box, so I read up online about over the air HD antennas and thought I'd give it a try. I HIGHLY recommend trying this antenna before spending $40-$100 on some other one that probably won't work as well. I realized I didn't get NBC so I moved the arms a little bit and set it on the other side of tv and boom. I was amazed.
I figured I'd start with the cheapest antenna I could find and if it didn't work I'd get the next one up. I sort of just sat back in awe for moment at the clarity. I never knew TV could look so good. got NBC HD as well.
Well I just bought this Philips Indoor Antenna for $9.99 plugged it in (quick and simple), set it behind the TV and bang got perfect HD reception for my local ABC, FOX, CBS, several PBSs.
I recommend this product to anyone looking for better and more consistent reception with there HD radio. I got this product for my HD radio and it works great.
The antenna is advertised as being able to receive VHF (bunny ear dipoles) and UHF (wire loop) signals, but the antenna doesn't come with a 'band combiner'. I bought this antenna to use with a set-top box in order to receive over-the-air Digital TV. I also didn't find that the UHF reception was any better than the single piece of wire I was using before (and will use until I buy a powered antenna). Most DTV channels are on UHF, but standard TV is still largely on VHF in my area, so I returned this item to Amazon. The manual explains that if your TV or receiver only has a single 'ANT IN' connection (and not separate UHF/VHF inputs, as you may remember seeing on some ancient TVs), then you either have to buy a band combiner (at least $7 incl shippingsearch Amazon for 'splitter combiner') or manually switch the screw connections when you change channels.
A visit to antennaweb.org and I got the right angle to set the antenna to pick up the stations I will use the most. As soon as I plugged it in I was able to pick up a good signal on a lot of local channels. As long as it is just going to sit somewhere though it should be fine. I only gave it 3 stars because the construction on it is pretty cheap. I bought this to use with my HD tv and it works well.
