| Summary: Does the job | ||
| I bought this set of rabbit ears for $7. This antenna works for both digital and analog channels with strong signals. I'm able to pick up all the yellow and red stations on antennaweb.org for my location using this antenna on any of my tvs (both hd and analog). The only caveat is due to the antenna being an omni. It doesn't do so well with reflections so it will sometimes cut out or have ghosting problems due to multi-path. Other than that I haven't had any problems.
For the money, this isn't a bad antenna. It works fine where the signal is strong. It won't perform any miracles to bring in blue or violet stations. |

| Summary: Good, cheap antenna | ||
| You won't a better antenna for the money with this antenna. I live in a strong signal area (less than 5 miles to the transmitters). This antenna has performed the best out of all the rabbit ears/loop indoor antennas(both with and without amplifier) that I have tried.
On analog TV, I was able to produce very strong pictures with minimal noise. On a digital TV using only the loop, this antenna produced some of the highest signal levels I have seen using any indoor antenna. I was able to receive all yellow and red stations listed for my location on AntennaWeb. The small form factor and 4' ribbon cable makes it great for adjusting the placement for the best reception. If your TV has an antenna receptacle, you can separate the loop and rabbit ears to better place the loop for improved UHF reception. While this antenna performed the best out of the antennas I tested, it certainly is not without its flaws. It certainly won't pull in weak signals. It won't improve ghosting due to multi-path. Also, the ribbon cable tends to receive more electrical interference than a coaxial cable would. I also recommend not using the included coaxial cable adapter unless you are using only one of the antennas. You should instead use a VHF/UHF combiner/diplexer. Otherwise, half your signal will be retransmitted out the other antenna. Even with its flaws, you won't find a better indoor antenna for the price of this one. |

| Summary: Nothing Special | ||
| It sorta does what you want. For under $15 I guess it is okay. Nothing special, nothing wrong though. | ||
