 a waste of money September 21, 2008
N8N (inside the beltway USA)
I bought this antenna at a local store because I had two TVs not connected to cable but only one pair of rabbit ears. I wasted my money. The old rabbit ears that came with my 20 year old TV set blow this thing away in terms of reception, and I can't get a single digital channel on the GE antenna but can get 10-15 with the rabbit ears. In fact, when using the signal strength meter on my DTV box I can actually see the signal strength DROP when I plug in the antenna's power supply. Just buy something else and save your money. Also the F-connector on the back is not very secure, I tried several different cables before finally realizing that the antenna was the problem. Only a screw on cable will work with this, the push-on ones won't grab.

I wish I had gotten this for less at Amazon, however I purchased this antennae for my sister as her entry into the world of HDTV with her RCA DTA800B Converter box hooked up to a twenty year old RCA Console TV. My sister said she wanted something simple she didn't have to monkey with and this little baby fit the bill. In her walk out basement apartment she has a window that is aimed at the Twin Cities, MN antennae farm . Once I set this antennae on the window side of her dresser (still 8 feet from the window) she gets perfect reception all channels (2-1&2,4-1,5-1&2,9-1&2,11-1&2, 17-1-5, 23-1&2,29-1&2,and 45-1 (zip code 55436). Works great and great reception. Everyone looking at digital TV needs to remember brick, steel, conduits, and house ducts are the enemy of any digital TV reception. Outdoors is best, a window is second.
Horrible Antenna June 27, 2008

This product manages to be worse than rabbit-ears. I could barely pull any signal off this thing, even when I tried, as an experiment, putting it outside on my roof.
If you are looking for a great digital antenna, buy an old-school aerial antenna and put it in your attic. That was the best solution for me.

When I plugged this in to my Satellite Receiver it pulled in quite a few HD locals, surprising as I am surrounded by mountains !! BUT after one night it died, I exchanged it and after one HOUR it died !!
I purchased a Philips instead and it is pulling in even more channels, plus so far...it's still alive.
Avoid this product at all costs !!

I wanted to buy an indoor antenna better suited for HDTV. It turns out that my regular old indoor antenna does a much better job than this particular model. Stations that I can receive clearly with minimal signal loss on my old indoor antenna, the Futura doesn't pick up at all. I tested both antennas on the same day in the same location.
