No it's not working

This Inexpensive Philips Antenna outperformed a $40 RCA powered antenna I purchased. Yes, it is fragile in the sense you have to be careful with the VHF dipoles. Twisting them 360 degrees will result in them feeling very loose and possible breaking internally. However, this little antenna way outperforms its price point. At first I had this sitting on my tv stand behind the tv. I received all the channels I was supposed to, but it was difficult to dial in Fox 2 without having some pixelation on CBS 62. I remembered seeing a YouTube review of this antenna by Tyler the antenna man where he showed it being folded flat to mount in a window or to a wall. So I did that as you can see in the photo and put it in the window that is next to my tv stand. This totally changed everything. My TCL TV not only measures signal strength, but there is also a signal quality meter. Signal quality is the most important to prevent pixelation and dropouts. I have better than 60% signal quality on every channel with the antenna in the windows and I am about 20 miles from all the towers here in the Detroit area. This is working so good I was able to split the signal with two different 2 way splitters using my existing Dish Network wiring and feed 3 tv’s in 3 different rooms all without a pre-amp or signal booster. Best $12 ever!

It’s a nice antenna. It worked very well and liked it because it’s small and could fit behind the window.

We're living in San Francisco with most of the stations we watch broadcasting from Sutro Tower, less than 4 miles away. This little guy is affixed to a window facing it, as well as NBC's tower another 4 miles out. NBC and ABC are VHF and the rest are UHF, but all come in with a signal strength of 85 - 100%. We're using a splitter and 20 foot extension cable (with no amplification) to connect both our TV and DVR. It's been in use for over a year with no issues, and with better performance than other brands we've tried. Recommended for LOS (line-of-site) use at under 10 miles distance, although others here attest to good performance in more difficult reception situations than ours. Also recommended, reference RabbitEars Signal Search Map (google it) for predicted signal strengths, distance and bearing, at your location.

Ok

The antenna works great for us. I have it hooked up to a secondary TV, and it does what we need it to do. We get the 3 major channels (NBC, CBS, ABC) with their subchannels, and a handful of others. Picture is surprisingly clear on a 12yr old LCD. Simple setup and takes up minimal space. Even happier that this is the cheaper "used" model. I know results from over the air antenna may be unique to each user, but for us it simple works great.
