The only two indoor antennas I've ever found to work are the Zenith Silver Sensor and the even better Radio Shack double-bow UHF antenna.

How can there not be a single review, anywhere, on this freakin' antenna. How is that possible.

Thanks OP. I needed an antenna for my sterio. The one it came with doesn't get radio stations well at all?

I saw this item in Fred Meyer. The box is bigger than I thought. The price there is $20.

I need an indoor TV antenna. Not sure how reliable about this company. So I used a pre-paid visa card to pay.

Thanks OP.

Anyone got one? Does it work better than regular antenna?

OK, no one appears to own this, so I'm going to step in and answer this based on my knowledge of HDTV.

Save your money and don't buy it.

Here's why:

This is an omnidirectional TV Antenna, which means it picks up signals from all directions equally well. This seems like a good idea at first, but is highly suspectable to what is known as multipath distortion.

Multipath distortion, or for those of you more familiar with analog TV, "Ghosts", is the result of the signal reflecting off objects (buildings, for example) and those reflections arriving at your antenna slightly later than the original signal - this is what produces a ghost.

The digital TV standard the US uses, known as ATSC, unfortunately, does not cope well with multipath distortion at all (and in fact, many say for this reason the US should not have selected it, but it's too late to change it now).

Ghosts are best delt with through the use of a directional antenna. Directional antennas are optomized to pick up most of the signal from one direction, and do their best to reject the signal from other directions. The Silver Sensor is a directional antenna, for comparison.
