Best performer in my difficult situation
I've been given the unenviable task of setting up several ATSC conversion boxes in the non-cable-wired rooms of our large house. One, in particular, is the kitchen which is on the ground floor. It sits in between two other houses and even by the windows there is no clear line of sight to the sky. Analog reception using a set-top antenna is static and noise most of the time. I'd tried the Silver Sensor, Antennas Direct DB2, and an old amplified Terk that looks like a bowtie lying flat on a spinner. None would reliably get more than 3 of the dozen-or-so "local" (8 miles or so) channels. The Philips only misses 1 of the "local" channels and is touchy on one more. The ability to rotate and tilt the UHF element is key, as you can usually fiddle with it to fix up a channel that is breaking up into digital noise.

it works, I have tv!
It works and I have tv for the 1st time in 7 years? well that's not necessarily a good thing, but I really do enjoy having PBS. I have to get accustomed to adjusting the ears if I want to pick up different channels. I get about 12 different local cable channels so it meets my needs.

Worse than rabbit ears
I tried this out in the Peoria IL area. This antenna would not lock in all the local channels from any spot in the room. Changing channels meant moving the antenna around. I replaced it with a coat-hanger antenna that I made by watching the YouTube video. I placed that one on the floor in the corner. It worked great.
I then tried it out in the Moline IL area. Again, it does not lock in all the channels. The YouTube design works great at 25 miles away from xmitters. I was disappointed with the Phillips corp.

Excellent Performance
Bear in mind I purchased the Philips specifically for HD reception. I had a RCA 25dB antenna before I purchased the Philips 50dB. What an amazing difference. With the RCA, every time a car passed by my picture froze or was lost, and I was only able to get two HD stations that were iffy. Once I flipped the power switch of my new Philips on, I flipped. I now get five HD channels with solid results. I also suggest going to the antenna website Philips suggests in their literature. Plug in your zip code and it shows you a map of where the transmission towers are located in relation to your home. It takes the guesswork out of positioning your antenna. Two friends of mine ran out and bought the Philips after seeing the results I had. They were with me when I set it up. They both achieved the same great results as I did.

Junk
I have a 12" portable tv bought in 1984. It has its own vhf & uhf antennas
My wife uses it in her bedroom and it recieves usualy about 15 stations.
I thought in 24 years they must have improved antennas a great deal.
So I bought this " Philips High Performance Aplified Antenna"thinking she would get more Stations with better reception.
Not only did It receive fewer stations the ones she got were of far less quality.
Needless to say I switched back to origional antennas and junked the so called HIGH PERFORMANCE item.Do not waste your money on this item
