A gradual disappointment. I purchased this antenna at the same time as my new HDTV a little more than a year ago. I appreciated the antenna's appearance for indoor use. Initially it's performance was an improvement over rabbit ears. But about six months later reception began to decline to the point where a signal was no longer received from three local public television channels and reception grew spotty and unpredictable from all but four commercial channels. I first contacted the TV manufacturer. They recommended that I re-run the TV channel set-up which I did several times. I bought and installed new coax cables. I checked to see if any new buildings obstructed the signal, even though we live on one of the highest points in Seattle. It wasn't until I tried the antenna on an analog set (this one with a converter box and rabbit ears) that an inherent limitation was exposed. The old set-up on the analog TV had been pulling in those three public television channels. But once I replaced the rabbit ears with this antenna, those public channels were gone. 21 August 2012

This is a good and well priced product, but experiences interuptions fairly often, regardless of weather conditions. his is a good and well priced product, but experiences interuptions fairly often, regardless of weather conditions. 9 October 2011
