In my DVB-T Stick a small "wire antenna" was there, with whom I have a good reception in the garden, but the house has reached its limits in the EC. Due to the mainly positive reviews and the reasonable price then I have gained me this rod antenna. Positive is the quality and stable impression. Especially the strong magnetic base is convincing. As for the reception, so I can find only a minimal improvement. Because I would have hoped for from + 30dB significantly more. All in all, however, the price-performance ratio fully io Due to the size of the antenna, however, it is more recommended for stationary use at home and less for a laptop which you carry in a pocket. Here, the antenna dimensions are likely to overuse the available space in the pocket much. Addendum: After my really positive review to CSL announced again and offered me a replacement for the first antenna, because the + 30dB not the hoped from me essential reception improvement brought by the motto, "one can never be completely ruled out a technical fault". Now, the reception to the second antenna is exactly as with the first antenna. But what matters is that a seller looks at product reviews and acts in the interests of the buyer. Such positive behavior as in this case of CSL I have never experienced so that I revise my first review and the full 5 stars admit. Actually, there should be in this case 6 star !!!
