I have an HDTV and I thought could use this indoor antenna to pick up more local HD channels instead of having to connect (and pay monthly charges) for another yet HD cable box. This did not turn out the way I wanted.
Reading the advertisement at a B&M store, I thought it was cheap enough to give it a try. Unfortunately, all it brought in was 3 channels. These channels were local public broadcasting channels like I wanted but nothing else was received. Weak signals messages flashed across my screen for all other channels. I live in the NYC area so I thought more channels would be available, but this was not the case. I moved the two antennas that pull out in all kinds of directions will no better success. I placed the unit itself in different places with the same results.
Maybe this would work better in conjunction with an outdoor antenna? I am not willing to attempt this and will return it.

Bought this for new digital TV, and it absolutely doesn't work. Hooked up a different antenna (equivalent in price, not as streamlined) and all chaneels came in. Don't know if these antennas are defective or just (more likely) an intentional rip off...

I bought one of these for my new Toshiba LCD HD TV. Complete junk. The reception was dreadful. As an experiment, I pulled my non-amplified antenna off my old Panasonic 13" TV and attached it to the Toshiba. Presto -- a picture! This thing isn't even as good as a coathanger with tinfoil draped over it.

I bought this antenna at a local store because I had two TVs not connected to cable but only one pair of rabbit ears. I wasted my money. The old rabbit ears that came with my 20 year old TV set blow this thing away in terms of reception, and I can't get a single digital channel on the GE antenna but can get 10-15 with the rabbit ears. In fact, when using the signal strength meter on my DTV box I can actually see the signal strength DROP when I plug in the antenna's power supply. Just buy something else and save your money. Also the F-connector on the back is not very secure, I tried several different cables before finally realizing that the antenna was the problem. Only a screw on cable will work with this, the push-on ones won't grab.
