SuperSonic SC-602 HDTV and Digital TV Indoor Antenna SuperSonic SC-602 HDTV and Digital TV Indoor Antenna

Pros: Performance is about the same as the FCC reference antenna in the 470-860MHz band (UHF Channels 14-69). There are no VHF channels in my area. The specs for this antenna suggest it is designed for UHF.

The base design allows multiple arrangements.

Cons: Cable is attached instead of using a standard male connector. Construction of the base is flimsy and weak.

Other Thoughts: A FCC reference antenna looks a lot like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=82-145-017 but does not have the rabbit ears nor amplifier.

Pros: none

Cons: it never worked.

Pros: Very sensitive antenna
Long range
High quality
Easily adjustable

Cons: The coax cable could be longer

Other Thoughts: Note: Most TV stations transmit with vertical polarization, meaning for best reception, you should set it up so it's elements are vertical.

Spring 2011, I was stuck at home during a really bad storm. The storm came out of nowhere, going from a mostly cloudy and eerily calm day, to torrential downpour with 90MPH winds in 5 minutes. We cut cable in favor of internet streaming, so I turned on the local news to see what was going on. The storm completely blocked the signal from my old rabbit ear antennas. A tornado ended up jumping over my house. We suffered little damage, but it could've been much worse. I bought this antenna because I needed something that could get a signal when I need it most. This antenna does.

Pros: None

Cons: DOESN'T WORK!

Other Thoughts: I sit across from mid-town Manhattan in Jersey City and bought this with the hopes of picking up additional channels on top of the local digital channels I receive with a basic whip antenna. This product touts that it has a 40 mile range, supports HDTV, etc. but what a sad trick. With this piece of junk, I get LESS channels! Half of the channels between 2-13 don't even come in now! What a waste of money. Don't waste yours!

Pros: Once aligned and positioned correctly, this antenna was able to tune all local broadcasts. I just put it together (which took about 30 seconds), plugged it in, pointed it at the broadcast towers, and BLAM-O, got all the local channels -- even those pesky VHF stations that were always in-and-out with my previous antennas.

Cons: The antenna's coax cord is very short (about 3'). You may need another cable and a male-to-male adaptor to position it.

I actually still get some occasional blocking/freezing on one VHF station with the antenna sitting on a stereo speaker 3' off the floor. If I hold it about 6' off the floor, the reception is perfect. I should go ahead and mount it to the wall there, but I'm lazy. I'll probably get on it tomorrow.

Other Thoughts: I gave KableTown the heave-ho two years ago in favor of free over-the-air TV. I had tried 3 different antennas (both amplified and non-amplified), and none of these could get all the channels clearly all of the time. I live only 8 miles from the broadcast towers, but I'm told that living in an old masonry house with plaster walls in a wooded neighborhood adversely affects the ability to receive signals.

Now, with this antenna, I don't have to get off the couch and re-adjust it when I change channels!

Pros: Works great out of the box with easy setup. Windows media center picked up the signal without any issues.

Cons: Very short cable included. The cable is actually attached to the unit so you can not add length with adding a male to male adapter at the end of the cable.

Other Thoughts: Some movement of the unit is required to get a better signal. This is common with most that I have used. I just wish that I could find one that I never have to move.
