Cons

The phillips hd optima antenna is a piece of junk. This antenna is worse than my old one. The amp is not loud enough to pick up hd signals.

Great way to give an item a second chance and better for the environment

After assembly you simply attach the cable to the antenna input connector and navigate to the menu in your tv controls that is ...  Read More


Basically it had to be repeated numerous times with the antenna in various different orientations different heights close to wi...  Read More

Price


If you hate paying so much for cable this is a great replacement without the monthly expense


Best use of under 20 bucks ever


Was using one of those flat ones that i got from home depot for about 50


In short for 26 its worth taking a trial run

Packaging/appearance


I gave the unit a 4 star rating as it is a high quality device from a quality packing standpoint it just didnt work well in my...  Read More


I went to the website listed on the product’s package and found where my local towers are and which channels i am supposed to get


This one got all the channels right out of the box and can put it beside the tv and not the window or wall


The original box inside was slightly damaged but the optima itself looked brand new and works great

Competitiveness

    I probably should have purchased the lowend model


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Tried several locations for the antenna but doesn’t seem to be working very well


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I’m going to try several other antennas first


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I’m picking up local stations without expensive server bill


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It did not get all channels in my area consistently though


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I saw this phillips and thought that should get really good reception because its curved instead of flat and has a reflector


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also this does not need an amplifier


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have a second tv about 30 feet from the antenna and it can send the strongest channels to that tv without an amplifier
