 Personal field testJun 05, 2009
By Atlanta1409
I recently tried five different antennae and found the Philips MANT940 to be the best of all five.
I compared it to the GE 24775, the RCA ANT537, Philips SDV2750, and the RCA ANT 1450. If I was giving a ranking for the five, it would be as follows:
1. Philips MANT940
2. RCA ANT 1450
3. GE 24775
4. RCA Ant 537
5. Philips SDV2750
By using the signal strength meter on my HDTV, the MANT940 was the only one to receive at least 80% on all relevant stations. I had chosen a location near a window in my garage and placed all antennae there and compared their performance. The top three I listed above all performed adequately, so I moved them to a place where I would mount the MANT940 between two windows.
Upon comparison of those three in the best window location, I found that the MANT940 had most channels in the 90-94% range and one channel at 80% while most of the channels on the other two were in the mid 70's to mid 80's.
I am in northern suburb of Atlanta, GA and found that the only channel that I wanted that no antenna would pick up is the NBC affiliate, WXIA.

 DTV Antenna for analog TV with converter boxNov 29, 2008
By lans

This is an amplified indoor antenna to use with the converter box to receive ota (over the air) broadcast channels. This pulls in all the "free" TV stations in NYC Metro area. I live in Bergen County, NJ and the reception is fantastic.
The converter box plugs into the TV and has a power cord. The antenna plugs into the converter box and also has a power cord. Best reception is if the flat antenna panel is right next to a window. Also the long cord from the converter box to the flat panel antenna works best if stretched out.
I'm using a power strip for the TV, the converter box and the antenna. Once I got them on the power strip and could position the flat panel near the window with the antenna cable fully stretched out, the reception was full green and perfect on all the channels (except for Thirteen, WNET). Fantastic reception and the digital signal is very good. Highly recommended. Picture quality is fantastic and boy you can tell when you're viewing HDTV.
Thirteen WNET has not yet boosted their antenna so their signal is too weak to be received. Read their statement online at Thirteen WNET.

multi-directional & flatFeb 02, 2009
By B. A. Dilger
"floating world"
Noticed improvement when first hooked up to TV, no amp. With amp beautiful pictures and 12 channels. Digital converter not hooked up yet but expect tremendous improvement with reception. Once placed don't need to keep adjusting 'rabbit ears'. Looks sleek and modern. ADDITIONAL NOTE: Please make this a five-star. I have added an Insignia NS-DXA1-APT digital converter between the antenna and my analog TV and gotten digital-quality pictures for at least 24 channels. This is a medium-sized market and I excluded several stations. Again, the quality of the pictures is excellent.

Excellent Amplified Antenna!Feb 09, 2009
By M. Paschall
"Computer Geek"
I've had this unit for just at two months and have been nothing but happy with my purchase choice. It just plain does what it advertises.
Currently this antenna is connected to a HDTV tuner that is plugged into my computer and since the first day of use it has outperformed any other amplified antenna I have used before.
Pros:
It's much more compact and easy to place "out of the way" than more traditional antennas.
Once in place you can just leave it be with no need for any adjustments.
Fairly long cables to connect the antenna to your tuner/TV.
Cons:
None that I have encountered to date.
I am located within 8 miles of the three main broadcast antennas for our local TV stations. In fact, you can see them from my front door. All the other broadcast antennas for other stations are located at least 25 miles away which was why I was looking for something that could pull those signals in, all the time.
This little unit does the trick!
Once I had found the optimal location I have not had to touch this antenna once since the first week of December and I have not had any problems picking up all my local stations, even during a snow storm!
Overall, this is a great little antenna for those who want something they will not have to "fuss" with and want to be able to hide it out of site.

 Does not "outperform traditional antennas" as the box claimsDec 19, 2008
By jojopug
Performs worse than RCA ANT1250 UHF/VHF Amplified indoor Antenna. The amplifier is not built in to the flat antenna so you have to connect it to the flat antenna and this makes for a lot of coaxial cable. I bought this because I thought it would be more streamlined than the antenna I have now. Didn't work well for me and it turned out to be less steamlined.
