Customer Review

I have this radio active indoor antenna placed at several places in the living room: In addition to the hi-fi system, on a bookshelf in height of 1.5 meters and the balcony window. In none of these places I could receive the usual channels for my location (nearby Cologne). The reception has deteriorated compared to my outside on balcony railings installed wire antenna.

For my site, apartment in an apartment building, I can the following stations on this antenna receive digital (in brackets are the signal strength of my wire antenna):

Nationwide channels: Channel 5C 80% (100%)
Stations of the WDR broadcasting: Channel 11D 50-70% (85-100%)
Sender of the SWR broadcasting: Channel 12A 10-30% (40-60%)
depending on weather conditions: Belgian and Dutch channels
Due to the unsatisfactory situation and the rather sobering results this antenna me could not really convince.
