Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I've never owned a better amplified indoor antenna for the $
Review: Even though the picture may not be as good as cable, I get channels I never thought I'd get and I can now watch Monday night football and it doesn't look like it's snowing in every game! Take my word for it, this one is worth it!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not good if you live in the basement
Review: I had some difficulty getting channels 2-6 (low band)with this antenna. These channels tend to be very hard to tune into because of electrical interference. Plus, the fact that I live in a basement. Outdoor antennae are still the best provided you don't have to drop your coax cable beyond 15 ft.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Reception
Review: I have a Recoton TV575 and get wonderful reception...I also have a Recoton TV200 which does a poorer job. I do wish the design was less chunky...it's a bit much sitting on top of the TV. Hope you get a shipment soon.

Summary: Good amplification
Review: Performance: 4 stars This powered antenna provides better TV picture quality and radio reception in every instance I compared it to my old non-amplified indoor antenna. Even when receiving strong broadcast stations, this product enhanced the cripsness of the TV image. It does not reduce ghost images though; for that you'd need specialized circuitry.

Caution: cranking the amplification to maximum enhances FM radio reception, but seems to overload the reception of TV channels, which become distorted unless you turn it down to about 90% amplification.

Comparisons: I compared this product to another Terk amplified antenna shaped as two diamonds, which claimed that it did not need to extend to great lengths as rabbit ears to deliver a good picture. The Recoton TV575 delivered better picture than the Terk.

Recoton's next step up, the TV600 antenna, has less UHF amplification power, so I did not go for it even though it was just $10 more...
