"Quality" of Phillips from a bad side

Philips SDV5225 Active DVB-T Flat Indoor Antenna (36dB) (Accessories)

Customer Review

I have installed in my computer a TV card of Haupauge, which includes a small passive rod antenna included. As expected, all the transmitters could not even be found on this small rod antenna.

Therefore I bought the Philips antenna. Allegedly 38dB amplifier (adjustable) and a noise reduction. Even cell phones are not to interfere. So, perfect to put the antenna next to the PC. And I've lived to receive optimal in the heart of Hamburg.

Result: In general no reception. Even when fully turning up the gain control. As my passive rod antenna has indeed found at least a couple of stations. NOTHING.

A total letdown - the morning crew returns. So much for the "quality" ...
