PowerQ PowerHD-100 HDTV Antenna Reviews

Add Your Review

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.

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.

Rating: 5 (excellent)	Nickname: anonymous	Date: 2010-02-28
Summary: Very Pleased
I purchased this antenna based on the positive reviews and I'm happy to report that it works as advertised. When I opened up the package I was surprised to see its small size. I've tried two other antennas and this beat them hands down. I picked up additonal channels (21) total. Five more than the other antennas. All come in crystal clear. It was a bit more pricey than the others but I get more channels and better quality pictures. PowerQ POWERHD-100 Indoor Portable Pop-Up Digital HDTV Antenna - Get FREE TV Broadcasts!

Summary: EASY, GREAT QUALITY, WORKS GREAT IN APARTMENTS!
So easy to use, perfect signal. Living in an apartment and getting 22 great channels, most HD! Only down faults, short cords. I agree with this major issue with other reviews, but longer cords are easily bought for very, very cheap!

Summary: Great indoor antenna, improved over my original antenna
I own a Pinnacle HDTV USB Mini Stick (80e), and when comparing the PowerHD 100 with the original antenna that came with my TV Tuner, the PowerHD was able to pick up most of my channels. When I used the stock antenna with my TV Tuner I could never get a consistent picture. With the PowerHD I was able to get all of my local channels (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CW, ... public channels) with overall consistent picture. I could actually watch TV on my laptop now instead of spending half of my time getting up to adjust my stock antenna. My recordings were flawless except for maybe a half second pause in one of my 60 minute recordings. The build quality is ok, which is why I give it 4 stars. I noticed a rattling noise when I took the antenna (which is pretty portable) out of the box, but it doesn't seem to affect its function.. It requires 2 AA batteries which are included, so you won't have to worry about getting your own. The antenna also has a clicking switch that allows it to fold open when you want to use it. The only connectors on the antenna is a standard coax connector and power plug on the back, for use with the included cables. Others noted that the coax cable was cheaply built. I personally don't notice any reduction in picture quality or anything. For me it does its job perfectly fine. The "AC adapter" is merely a AC-USB plug type of thing, and they give you a USB cable to connect the antenna to the plug. Mind you, it's pretty short. For me I don't really use the adapter since I put my antenna high up on my bookshelf in my room. The antenna has an on and off switch on the front. Since I don't use an AC adapter, I realized that it would be troublesome to have to turn it on everytime I wanted to watch something in order to save power. It would also force me to keep it on during the day when I am gone if I want to record something during the day. The weird thing is that my antenna still works even if the switch is off (with AA batteries inside). I'm not sure if this is like all the others, but just thought I'd share that. Overall this antenna did its job well and it hasn't failed me yet. I would recommend this to someone looking for a small indoor antenna with a small profile.
