The SDV2730 amplified indoor antenna is designed to provide reception of both analog and digital broadcasts. The reception elements are optimized for digital broadcasts and ensure great reception of ATSC/HDTV signals over a conventional loop antenna. The 2-way positioning allows you to adjust the antenna to receive the strongest signal vertically or horizontally. Together with the adjustable amplification, the low noise amplification (up to 16db) ensures you of a great reception range and improves the quality of your signal. Adjust the manual control to obtain precise tuning for the best picture quality and system performance. Included with antenna is 6-feet of coaxial cable.

   I can’t believe how poorly this works. I bought it before there were any reviews – my mistake. It simply doesn’t work. No matter how much we adjust or move the antenna, it doesn’t pull a signal. The old rabbit ears we had were much better – and cost about 1/3 the price of this. I was considering purchasing a new Philips LCD tv, but after my experience with this, I will rethink that. This experience makes me really question the quality of Philips products.

   12/8/09 I picked a $19 Philips unit from [...] and only got a handfull of stations, depending on which direction I pointed the unit, how far apart the extendable antennas were, how high I held the unit in the room, etc. I could bring in different stations based on the previous sentence, sacrificing some for others. However, some local affiliates I could hardly, if at all, bring in, even though they were ranked as being easier to receive according to [...].

   So, I figured I would try an amplified unit, again from Philips(SDV2730/27). As previous users stated, no matter how much amplification I tried or which direction I aimed, etc., I saw NO improvment and even found the amplification made the stations I DID receive worse. On top of all this I paid $32 at [...]. At least it is cheaper at Amazon, but even if it were free, total waste of time, period. So, unless you live practically on top of your local station’s transmitters, forget it! I live in Brunswick, OH and all major transmitters are less than 20 miles from me. Guess I will just have to plan on an outdoor unit if I decide to keep using over-the-air reception. (recently dropped cable co.) For now I guess I will go get the cheapest vhf/uhf antenna I can.

   A nice waste of your $30. I have a $10 pair of rabbit ears that picks up better than this piece of garbage. I sat there fiddling with the antennas and the gain control while watching the signal strength meters, and nothing ever seemed to change no matter what I fiddled with. Save your money on this waste.

   Amazing, the Philips SDV2750/27 is a superb antenna for only $5 more than this one. I always wondered, why a company that can make a great product still bother to make a garbage for few dollars less? If someone knows the answer, please enlighten me.
