This weekend I purchased the Philips MANT950 Indoor/Outdoor Amplified UHF/VHF/HDTV Antenna. With all the great reviews I read online I thought I had found the perfect outdoor antenna to catch a few more HD channels. This was not the case I did not get any more channels then I already was getting with my Terk antenna. The first location I picked to try this antenna out was outdoors and it did bring in a better picture on the channels I already had, but this was due to the fact I had it outdoors any antenna would do the same outdoors. Playing around with pointing I did not find any other channels. Well after playing around for an hour outside I figure I would try it in the same location indoor that I have my current antenna set up. The signal for some channels were better as this antenna is a little longer and pulls in a better signal for standard analog UHF channels. As for the HD channels I had to play around with the position in order to get the same HD channels I already had with my old antenna. What it did do better was catching the CW station from Buffalo New York. This station on my old antenna keep coming and dropping the Philips antenna did manage to keep the signal at full bar the whole time I was watching. Over all I would say that if you need an antenna and this is your first purchase then the Philips is a good outdoor antenna or placed indoors it does a little better at bringing in a better picture on weak signals. If you already own an antenna then skip this one it won't do much more then what you already have.
