I bought this antenna because i have no access to the roof in my condo. I scraped of the print on the antenna so no one know it is a antenna in plain view. I couldn’t get many channels but due distance from tv station transmitter (approx 25 miles away).
I have not intalled my product, just waiting till summer. I have had this product on my watch list all winter. I noticed the price went as low as $17 in February, and now as summer approaches the price is $34. Hmmmm…very interesting.
I am writing this review 4/13/10.
This has cable, attachments for putting it outside or inside. I live 27 miles from the stations and I get all the channels plus some. I even get channel 2 and I live in a chicago suburb. This is more than i expected and I am glad that i didnt listen to the bad reviews. DO you have the thing plugged in? If u unplug it which I tried that you wont get any channels.
I read the reviews and figured this antenna might work well for me. According to [...], nearly all stations are within 25 miles of me. But this antenna performed poorly. It could not pull in one single station with or without the amplifier! I’m sure I’d get better results if I were closer, but come on, this antenna does NOT pull in 18dB as advertised.
FWIW, my previous antenna was a 36″ yagi. Even without a pre-amp I could pull in most the Boston stations and a few others (15 total), but my issue has always been not all channels come in solidly and required me to rotate the yagi a bit.

I ended up doing quite a bit of research and even built my own antenna before I finally pulled the trigger on arguably the best reception antenna on the market, the Channel Master 4228 HD which I have found to be the best. If you are not getting good reception with the MANT940, don’t waste your time and money experimenting. Do your homework and like myself, you will learn you’re better off with something like the 4228HD. The Philips probably works good if your’e within 20 miles of the broadcasting towers, but for longer separations with obstacles and/or you are on the outer “fringe”, don’t waste your time.
Works very well with tuner in computer to pull in about eight stations – very satisfied with price and performance.
