    Comments about RadioShack® Amplified Omnidirectional HDTV Antenna:

    Bought this antenna for TV which is in kitchen to test getting rid of cable. Reception comes in and out with "squares". Moved to a higher location with little better reception but overall not really happy with it. Will look for other solutions.

          The radio shack antenna worked ok.

          I bought a HD-360 From National Antennas that installs outdoor and it provides much better long range omnidirectional HDTV DTV TV reception. The amplified design is what really set the HD-360 apart.

          Comments about RadioShack® Amplified Omnidirectional HDTV Antenna:

          First off, it needs to be said that proper TV reception often requires a bit of trial and error, especially since the DTV transition. Just because a particular antenna might work fine for someone else doesn't automatically mean that it will work for you, even under similar conditions. Likewise, just because something might not work for someone else doesn't automatically mean it won't work for you. The best you can do is weigh the various pros and cons as they are presented, make an informed decision, and just try what you've decided. Thus, I am posting this review to help you decide your course of action.

          I live within 20 miles of all of the local broadcast towers, which is the advertised range for this antenna. Aside from the occasional glitch in the picture or audio (About 2-3 per hour), this antenna works quite well for me. I've found that this antenna seems to work best when laying down flat as opposed to standing upright. I currently have it sitting on top of an 8-foot tall bookshelf. I definitely would recommend that you at the very least try this antenna if you do live within 20 miles of the towers (But not too close, read further down).

          With that said, I would not recommend this antenna if you live more than 20 miles away from the towers. Admittedly, the "20 mile range" stated in the description is more of a general guideline than a hard-set range limit, and it is conceivably possible that you could receive signals from further away (Or, conversely, not receive low-power signals from close by). But, the small size almost certainly would make it increasingly difficult to achieve proper reception once you do pass approximately 20 miles from the broadcast towers. Also, I imagine the design and small size of this antenna may cause some difficulty with reception on VHF channels, particularly VHF-Low (Channels 2-6), even if you are within 20 miles of the towers. Thus, if you live someplace that has a high number of VHF channels, this may not be the right antenna for you.

          Another thing that needs to be said: since this antenna has a built-in amplifier (Which cannot be adjusted, something I will admit I do dislike), I would not recommend it for anyone who lives very close to the towers (I'd estimate 5 miles or less), or anyplace where the TV signals are otherwise already very strong. This is because it is possible to amplify a TV signal too much. Amplifying an already-strong signal adds additional noise and distortion to the signal, which makes it difficult or even impossible for the receiver to properly decode the signal. This can make it appear as if the signal is too weak when in fact it's actually too strong. Thus, using this amplified antenna in a location where the signals are already strong may be counterproductive. If you absolutely wish to purchase this antenna anyway (For asthetic or other reasons), try using it with the amplifier turned off (Connect the antenna directly to the TV without using the power injector).

          As I said at the beginning, just because this antenna worked for me is no guarantee it'll work for you. Conversely, just because it didn't work for others is no guarantee that it won't work for you. Don't decide based solely on my review or any other single review. Read them all, and don't forget to research the types of TV signals available in your area. No matter which antenna you purchase, be it this one or a different one, remember...there likely will be some trial and error involved before you find a setup that works. Be patient!

                  I didn't find this model to work very well. I moved to different locations in the room, and still some stations would come in and out. Though the price was decent,I think another model would work better.
