Summary: Depending on where you live, this may not help you
Review: I recently purchased this item hoping for better reception and less tin foil for my home in the hills of Los Angeles. If you live in an area that is hard to get a signal already, this item is not going to help you much. Compared to my other antenna with out the tin foil, initially the reception was a little bit better, but not enough to get a clear picture or audio, and I could only receive about 2 of the 5 local channels. With tin foil, a lot of tin foil, I can almost get those 2 channels but with less than perfect picture quality. I thought having UHF and VHF dials and being able to control them manually would have a better impact on my picture and sound, but I find that I have to keep them both on MAX. Not an impressive difference from the other power antennas with only signal strength dials to keep me satisfied. Again, I live in an area that is almost impossible to get a signal, so this product might perform better in more urban areas.

Summary: yeah, beats a bare wire
Review: Like other reviewers, I found it requires constant adjustment for the UHF loop, even though all my UHF stations broadcast from one of two locations within about 20 degrees of each other.Also, while the gain on the amplifier is adjustable (and adjustable separately for VHF and UHF), it is not adjustable down to zero; you must turn it off using a very stiff, teensy tiny fiddly little 3-way switch on the back (third setting was bypass, e.g. for cable). Since some local channels (both VHF and UHF) are strong enough that even minimal gain setting was too much, my switch got a lot of use. But it broke after 2-3 months. Why only 1 star? Because of the crummy design. Good signal quality (which it has, once adjusted) is the minimum expectation. I'd like to be able to easily use the device. So I'm looking for a replacement.

Summary: Defective power source
Review: The power source does not work, and I have been having a heck of a time finding a replacement. Also, my reception is worse with this antenna when it does work.

Summary: better than a dangling copper wire
Review: this is the first and only antenna ive ever owned. before I bought it I just stuck a copper wire into the tv input. the channels are much better now and some are cable quality with not even a single speck of fuzz. I also gained one channel that I never knew existed!!!

Summary: Okay but not great!
Review: When I bought my new flat screen TV/VCR/DVD combo, I thought I would "upgrade" my antenna as well. I have to admit that I now receive two more channels and some of the others come in clearer now. The only thing I don't like is that every single time you go to a particular channel you have to fool with this antenna to get a clear picture. My old antenna once you set it for a particular channel, that channel always came in clear and maybe the others a little shadowy but it was always great for that channel. This one is not that way,if you set it say for CBS to come in clear and you surf the other channels during a commercial break when you come back to CBS you have to twittle with the antenna again to get it to come in clear even though you never touched it when surfing through the other channels. The non powered rabbit ears with the halo works just as well.
The positive is that Amazon's price was a lot less expensive than the competitions.
