Philips Rabbit Ears Black Indoor TV Antenna, Dipoles and Circular Loop, Tabletop, Digital, Smart TV Compatible, HDTV, 4K 1080P VHF UHF, 5Ft Coaxial Cable, SDV8201B/27

Excellent product!! Ordered last night and already am enjoying its performance. I recently "Cut the Cord" with my Cable provider and decided to get a internet cable modem/ wi-fi and streaming service. My wife was upset about not getting any of our local channels. Thanks to this little antenna unit ,I get all my local channels along with some others. Folks, this antenna was exactly what I needed. Looked at a lot of "indoor" antenna types/brands and glad i didn't waste my money on a more expensive unit.

For what this inexpensive little Rabbit Ears antenna is, it does a pretty darn good job. This antenna is well constructed and is intelligently designed so it can be wall mounted as well as sit on a table or the TV. There is a YouTube reviewer called the Antenna Man who tested and recommends this.All of my local station's transmitters are within a 20-mile radius of my home and have few obstructions in the way, so this antenna is a good fit. It picks them all up. It took a little fiddling to find the best location for this and which way the antenna should be pointed, but once I did it worked just fine. I would not expect it to work nearly as well if the transmitters were further away or there were obstructions like hills or several buildings in the way. Keep that in mind when purchasing.There is a site called Antennas Direct that has a feature telling you what transmitters are in your area, where they are located in relation to you, and how strong the signal should be that can help you figure this out.

Cheap and works great, picked up 57 channels, some not coming in wonderfully, but most have pretty solid picture, especially considering how old so much of the content is on some stations. It also supports NextGen(ATSC 3.0), though from what I've read most are dragging their feet about implementation of it.Knocking one star off for the built in cable. I would have been fine paying extra for an included cable that is removable. It works, and luckily was long enough that it could reach where I wanted to put it, but it's also quite thin, so may not be great at shielding EMI/RFI for some people.

THE BEST INEXPENSIVE ANTENNA. Works for over 50 mi radius... works better than those flat square antennas or other newer type antennas for indoors. Works better than $75 antenna I tried. I have tried many types and always go back to this. the only thing that I've had better connection with was mounted on the roof and $60. If you live in the city this will give you all the connections to local and free channelsGIVE IT A CHANCE!!

Easy to set up but I didn’t think it gave me as many channels as my other Tv Antenna did. One of the rabbit ears broke on my old one and it actually works better with just one rabbit ear than the new one did????

I haven't had cable TV since the '80s. We've gotten by using TiVo's, over-the-air broadcast, and in the last few years we've added in streaming. The only issue has been some of the stations we receive in the Sacramento area either come in poorly or not at all. My niece lives here in town as well, and due to price increases she's cancelling her cable other than for Internet use. I was setting up an indoor antenna for her TV and found that her area seems to have the same problem stations we have, farther south where we live. Curious about this issue I did research and found the two problem stations we both had issues with chose to continue broadcasting their signals on the VHF band of TV frequencies when TV went "digital," while every other broadcaster in our area (and there are a lot!) moved their signals into the UHF band. To make a long story short: The majority of indoor TV antennas, whether "boosted" or not, have been designed to pick up and concentrate on the UHF band. That leaves signals on the VHF band somewhat left out with those antennas. The answer, it seems, is that good-old-fashioned "rabbit ears" TV antennas are making a comeback. Of course that's only if stations in your area are still broadcasting on the VHF band. Why would stations choose to stay on the older VHF band? Well, I found the answer is "cost." VHF equipment is much less expensive to buy, operate and maintain. That's why our local PBS station is using it, as well as the local ABC affiliate (apparently having been bought buy Disney didn't mean a pay raise). I also found that the VHF band carries signal farther and needs less energy to broadcast to do so. Why didn't all the broadcasters continue on VHF? Who knows. What's important is to get both bands to come in well, you really need two types of antennas, basically one for each band. Although, I admit I'm only using one antenna on our big living room TV, and believe it or don't, that is an old "RCA" brand of rabbit ears! it works great! In my den I needed a boosted antenna for the UHF band and had to add this Phillips rabbit ears model to get all of the stations. It works really well, and the price was great! Highly recommended! What was once old is new, again!

I can get better UHF signal as the circle portion is a bit thicker and you can swing it up and down to angle it perfectly to catch the radio waves. Best UHF antenna that I have found so far. Don't buy the antennas with built in amplifier or flat antennas. These old school antennas work the best and allow you to catch more stations. You can also use network tv tuners such as HD Homerun for a second/third antenna to create an array to use for hard to get TV stations. I get stations 45 miles away with these type of antennas placed near the ceiling of 1 story home.
