Lately we have been dealing with an increasing number of attempts to manipulate antennas ranking. Note: each person is allowed to post one and only one review for each antenna model. Exceptions can be made only under special circumstances when the reviewer feels that his earlier review must be corrected.

We have a sophisticated manipulation detection system in place and we will not tolerate any attempt to game the system and mislead consumers and our visitors. We reserve the right to delete any review that we feel is misleading or inappropriate and do that at our sole discretion. Thanks for understanding.

Also, from now on we require all reviews to be at least 100 words long. Short reviews, such as "a piece of junk" or "works as advertised" are not very helpful. Consider specifying more details. Elaborate on your location, the equipment you are using, reception quality of specific channels in your area. Check the word counter at the bottom when writing.

Rating: 1 (very poor) Nickname: anonymous Date: 2009-06-04
Summary: over rated
I got less stations than the 20 year old I was replacing.


PowerQ PowerHD-100 Review #1
Rating: 1 (very poor) Nickname: anonymous Date: 2009-06-02
Summary: High Priced Junk
My house situates at bottom of a hilly area surrouded by tall trees. Couldn\t really pull in any channels. What it can pull in was unstable signals that keep dropping out. The RF cable was way too short to allow moving the antenna around to find a sweet spot. An old pair of rabiit ears and loop worked much better.

Summary: Even A Geek Like Me Could Not Get This To Work
I had high hopes for this to work with my computer's USB tuner and my two HDTVs - so we had TV news in case of emergencies. But no cigar = and no signals at all from this expensive gizmo. I am a self-admitted geek and was determined to get this thing to work - but it was all wasted time and effort. Zero. Nada.

The first clue should have been the battery compartment - there was no end metal piece on one side so the batteries didn't even fit. It appeared to power fine with both the transformer and the USB connector to computer. But no signals whatsoever.

I wrote the company a week ago, asking for a replacement - but zero answers. Also, not a good sign.

So, two days ago I returned it to Amazon...with their great return policy, it only wasted my time. For me, it might have just been a bad unit...but my strong intuition is that this company does not yet have its act together.

Choose wisely.

Summary: One Chanel Wonder
In the area I live in, South Central Washington, it gets one chanel with or without the Power Q antenna. The one chanel is slightly better with this antenna. We had good analog reception before everything went digital.


PowerQ PowerHD-100 Review #4
Rating: 4 (good) Nickname: anonymous Date: 2009-07-10
Summary: It looks great!!! it blends in and you wont even notice is there!!
First off, this little one looks great! Why? Because you can hardly see it!! except for a little green light in the front, but other than that is practically invisible; About performance the first time I tried, it only pick 22 HD Channels ( in my area I suppose to pick up to 44 HD Channels) but you have to move it around and keep scanning channels again and again every time you move it; and this procedure goes for every single antenna out here no only for this one, In other words you need to find the sweet spot, after few minutes of scanning and moving the antenna I found the sweet spot with in inches from where I started, So yes; even inches in where you place the antenna matters to get a good reception or bad; At the end I end up picking up 42 out of 44 HD channels that are available in my area so that's great and plus the two missing channels I don't even need them as long as I get the channels I watch the most I am happy. Well is a little pricey; that's why I rate 4 starts but if it was like 29 bucks this baby would be a big winner.
