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.
Highlights
Quality
Great way to give an item a second chance and better for the environment
This antenna was so easy to install and the reception is awesome
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

It did not get all channels in my area consistently though

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

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
