Review on 📺 Philips Gray Fabric HD TV Antenna: 4K 1080P VHF UHF, Long Range Indoor Reception, 5 ft. Coaxial Cable, Digital HDTV, Smart TV Compatible - Dark Gray by Luis Green

Like many people these days, I'm trying to cut or reduce my ever-rising cable TV bill. I was very interested in trying a DTV antenna because I need to be able to get all my local channels and a few others without having to pay a monthly bill. I went to the website listed on the product box and found out where my local cell towers are and what channels I should be receiving. I live out of town so wasn't expecting much. Surprisingly, there were several channels on the list that either barely fell within my reach or were just out of my reach. It's going up! After connecting the antenna, scanning for channels, moving the antenna, scanning again and repeating the process a few more times, I think the following: • Well done - doesn't look or feel like a cheap item . • Attractive appearance - gray woven front cover gives me no need to hide • Multiple mounting options - can be wall hung or has a stand to place on a cupboard or windowsill. • Very short cable – The cable is only 1.5 m long, so there isn't much room for adjustment or movement. • The cable is hardwired - there is no easy way to cut the coaxial cable and use a longer one. • Doesn't work through walls - the TV I wanted to use it with is on the opposite side of the house from the direction of the transmitting antennas, so there are no windows in that direction. I failed to catch any channel. • Works Through Window - Works on another TV that has access to a window through which the antenna can be aimed at the transmitting antennas. I didn't get a lot of channels, but as I said, broadcast antennas are on the edge of this antenna's advertised range. Overall I can see that this antenna will work well when in range. The TV was in the right spot so I won't downvote it for that, but I'm taking a star because the coax cable is hardwired and doesn't let me use a longer cable to extend the position of the antenna. Otherwise I like the product and can recommend it.
