Whether in homes, factories, offices, airports, or on the street, it's hard to imagine a place where Philips is absent. What Philips wants is to make your life and work easier - and more fun! And Philips continuously explores new ways to improve products and to offer innovative products to its consumers. Philips. "Let's Make Things Better".
Enjoy sparkling high-definition programming without forking over monthly digital cable or satellite fees with this Philips indoor HDTV/UHF antenna. The device is specially designed to receive HD broadcast signals from the major free networks in all primary reception areas. If the affiliate broadcasts in HD, the PHDTV1 will receive it, provided the user also owns an HD-compatible television. The highly directional antenna features a high front-to-back ratio that helps reject unwanted signal corruption, ensuring that your picture comes in clear and true. This feature is especially valuable in dense urban areas with crowded broadcast airwaves, where reflected signals can interfere with HDTV transmission. The antenna also offers a flat front gain slope that balances the reception throughout the UHF frequencies. The result is a consistently high-resolution picture regardless of which channel you choose. The PHDTV1--which also connects to PCs anywhere datacasting is available--has been endorsed by several HDTV-testing committees.

If everything worked this well........:

Wow!:
I live 50 miles northeast of Sioux City, Iowa, on a farm that we rent. We receive DirecTV, but have to rely on the free local over-the-air channels. I was one of the skeptics who had heard plenty of people tell me that I could not get decent digital reception with an indoor antenna, especially out here in the boondocks. Well, after reading all (!) the reviews for this antenna, I took the plunge and ordered it. I placed it in the west-facing window sill of our living room, and set up the digital... more info
It was simple and easy:
I have had my first HD TV hooked up to sattelite (Dish) for about 6-8 months. I wanted to pick up the local stations but was leery about the difficulty of linking this new antenna with the receiver. That, plus the various reports on difficulty pulling in over-the-air signals had me a bit worried....we are a bit isolated and no stations are nearby. Well, lemme tell you, this was a breeze. Setup of the antenna was just snap it in the base, and go. I stuck it on top of our wall unit for testing, then... more info
Say Goodbye to the Cable Bill!:
My wife and I have been finding new ways to pinch pennies due to the poor economy. I decided that I'd try to find a way to lessen the pound of flesh Comcast takes from us every month for television (after all, we mainly only watch the free channels, anyway). We live in the 3rd story of an apartment complex in Eden Prairie, MN (about 20 miles away from most of the towers). After finding the best spot in the apartment for the antenna and some tweaking, I was amazed to discover that we were able to receive all... more info
