4 Stars Works great in my basement!!!!
I really enjoy this product. It works great in my walkout basement away from all windows and doors. The product is rather large though (only reason it got 4 stars, not because it doesn’t work) and does not fit well on my t.v. entertainment center so it definitely looks out of place. But for the money, it is well worth it. I live in a small metro area with about 12 stations and get them all but one just fine without problems. I don’t have to turn the antenna to get different channels, I get them all in one spot and in clear HD. So far is has worked on sunny and very stormy days without issue. I have heard that even though an amplifier works good for some, it does more harm than good for some channels. Other antennas allow you to use it with or without the amplifier but this won does not have that option, it’s always amplified. I don’t know much about antennas as this is the first one I have ever used. I did lots of research and heard this was the best. I get very clear HD reception in a basement away from the doors and windows. It’s more about what you have around you and what type of material it is. Metal buildings cause a lot of reception problems. best idea is to ask friends or neighbors to see what works for them and search for info around your area. The internet is great for getting information, but things like this are very local issues. Go to your local best buy or electronics store and ask around to see what works best as they will usually know. Good luck to you!
3 Stars It’s not the antenna’s fault!!!
I purchased this antenna because my old rabbit’s didn’t seem to be cutting it with the digital stuff. Well, it seems it wasn’t my old rabbit’s fault either!! My problem was receiving the “cheap” stations that flipped back to VHF after the digital conversion. I did get more channels with the Winegard, but still not the VHFs. If I took the TV and antenna to the top floor of my house and put the Winegard in the window that pointed exactly in the direction the VHFs come from, I did get pixilated video…but who wants to sit through that for an hour?!?! My only hope would have been to get an outdoor antenna and drill holes through the house…Well, I returned the antenna to Amazon and broke down and bought the ‘basic analog’ cable package for my area.
5 Stars Winegard SS-3000 PERFECT HD INDOOR ANTENNA FOR LOS ANGELES
The Winegard SS-3000 Indoor HD Antenna has miraculously changed my free HDTV experience. I initially bought a Philips High Performance Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna in which first the metal coxal cable connection snapped off. The second replacement order of the same Philips Amplified Antenna broke when adjusting the metal rabbit ears. The Winegard SS-3000 is definitely heavy duty & will not break if it falls. I live on the 3rd floor of a 4-story apartment complex in the densest section of Los Angeles & my reception is great! During the late afternoon/early evening reception for our local ABC channel falls in & out, but it’s possible due to being sandwiched in a multi-unit apartment complex & possibly from the surrounding neighborhood radio/3g/wifi/wave activity. Nevertheless, I highly recommend the Winegard SS-3000 HDTV Indoor Antenna for those looking to purchase an indoor, dependable, affordable & durable antenna.
4 Stars Works as well as the Wineguard Squareshooter outdoor antenna
I also have a Wineguard Square Shooter outdoor antenna. And this SS-3000 indoor antenna works at least as well. I live in the Evergreen area of San Jose, CA. And I am able to pick up all the major broadcast stations *most* of the time (ABC 7-x and Fox 2-x sometimes drop out). But I truly only care about the PBS channels and sub-channels (9-x, 54-x), and I always receive them, so I’m mostly happy. I would give it 5 stars, but I do have the complaint is that there are no mounting locations, brackets, or holes anywhere on the anntenna–forcing you to need to place it on top of some flat surface. Also, the material and construction quality are flimsier than what it looks like in the photos; but that doesn’t really matter.
5 Stars Works wonderfully!
I purchased this for my HD LCD TV and it is great. I live about 23 miles from the broadcast towers in San Francisco on a hill. I get about 20 or so channels, many in HD. I only watch less than half because some are foreign languages and some are just boring. But, the quality is as good as cable. I am very impressed.
