Not what I hoped for. Even with the additional antena I still can only get 2 chanels.
Sorry! Not my best buy.
I bought this [as suggested by amazon) along with the Zinwell ZAT-970A ‘Digital to Analog Converter Box,’ to put on my second elderly pre-digital TV (which has been only used for DVDs in recent months)…so that I could watch broadcast TV on either set. I thought I’d Git Real Bright and hook this Fancy New ‘Amplified’ Antenna to the oldest TV (a 1998 Philips-Magnavox model PR1905X101), which doesn’t have DVD capabilities. And then I’d put my $5.99 old funky rabbit ears on the newer TV (a 2006 Polaroid TTM-2003) which also needs a Converter Box…’cause the Polaroid has a built-in DVD player, and so I wouldn’t care if it didn’t get so many channels with the old funky cheapo rabbit ears, eh. Well-then…I hooked up yon Fab New Antenna to the elderly Philips-Magnavox TV with a Magnavox converter box model E175216. And :::: no matter what I did, I could only get ONE CHANNEL and *IT* kept breaking up, hunh! This caused me to become Quite Peevish, and I was fixin’ to return this-here antenna with a Bitter Complaint. So I put the cheapo rabbit ears back on the 1998 set (with the same Philips-Magnavox converter box it had been usin’….where it gets, like 3-and-a-half channels, even though I only live two miles from the TV towers in a major metropolitan area, eh). But before returning it, I said, wot-th-heck…I’ll try this antenna on the Zinwell converter and the newer Polaroid set. Bingo! Works dandy. What I’m gettin’ at here :::: is mebbe this antenna will work with YOUR converter box and TV combo….and mebbe it WON’T. Caveat emptor.
Sorry, I have no idea if this item works or not. There was NO analog-to-digital converter box or television set that we could hook this antenna to… Since the cable is hardwired to the antenna we did not have the option of grabbing a different RF cable and trying that one. No, we were locked into using the hardwired cable whose connector would not match up to ANY other connector we tried. This antenna was sold bundled with the Zinwell analog-to-digital converter box, but I know no one checked to see that you could actually use the two pieces together. After 1 hour of fruitless attempts to attach the antenna to ANY other television or converter box, we packed it back up and submitted it to return to Amazon.
Based on my experience with this antenna, I would day to run very fast in the opposite direction if anyone ever offers you a piece of Tivax equipment.
This product was very easy to install, gives us excellent reception and does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Makes tv viewing without cable a very simple non-issue!
I only get three of the four major networks with my Terk Technology TV-1 Passive Indoor TV Antenna so I thought I would give this a try. With the new one I only get two networks and nothing on the UHF side.
