Summary: Not Satisfied completely
Review: I bought the Tv3000 from a computer swapmeet. I got a good price, but the results are varied. I cannot get all of the channels to come in clear. I followed instructions, but due to my setup, I could not do some of the things they instructed me to do. I live near the ocean....does that have anything to do with it? Any tips to get better reception on some channels? The manual said that if this happens, I am either living in a bad location, did not follow the manual. I must live in a bad location....

Summary: Better than most internal antennas
Review: I mounted this antenna in the attic for convenience sake because I did not want to deal with external issues like mounting it to the roof, grounding it, visual detractions. Reception depends on where you situate the unit, as that changed based on location and even whether you tilted it on its side, but it is improved. I suspect that external mounting would further improve things. I had to replace one of the crimp connectors as it fell off during installation. That is something to watch out for.

Summary: The greatest antenna ever.
Review: I was on the development team for this particular product, and in my un-biased opinion I think it is possibly the greatest recieving device ever. I am sure that I don't appreciate the poor rating this item has recieved, and have decided to take it personally. I think you'll find that if you adjust the variable attenuation dial on the device you will get better reception than you can possibly imagine in your wildest dreams. While developing this device, I was so dedicated to it's completion, and mastery of the antenna world, that my wife left me, and took the children. I overcame this obstacle as it was so obviously a clever ploy by the competition to distract me from my most important work to date. I am sure that if you simply read the instructions furnished with this product, you will be more than satisfied with it's high quality. Even though I no longer work for this company, a minor disagreement, I want to see this product succeed. Disregaurd the other reviews that were obviously writen by the competition. But you already saw that didn't you?

Summary: Great for recieving Local Broadcasting
Review: I'm not a techno person but I have used amplified indoor, wirey outdoor antennas and satellite/cable.
First installed the TV3000 as an indoor antenna. Recieved better reception then any other indoor powered or outeside wirey antenna. Then installed it outside on a 5feet pole in the ground. The channels clear and recieved more channels. But it is now 15feet above the roof and I am now recieving all the channels that the area has.
If there are large objects between you and the broadcasting station. There is not much you can do, but get cable or satellite dish.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't waste your money
Review: Like the other reviewer said, this is truly a dud. In fact, it made the reception on a few channels worse in my Manhattan apartment. I ended up having to order cable anyway.

If you need an antenna, buy an ourdoor one. This is one is expensive and utterly useless.

Rating: 1 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Don't expect miracles if you live in the middle of nowhere!
Review: Someone once told me that the worse outdoor antenna is better then the best indoor antenna. This antenna works both in and outdoors, but the secret is to align the dish so that it is optimized for where you are in relation to the surrounding station antennas. If you live in between two cities like I do, this antenna gives you good signals on most of the channels

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: DIDN'T MEET EXPECTATIONS
Review: This antenna, when installed outside, provided only slight improvement over "rabbit ear" antenna for local station reception.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poor choice
Review: This is the sixth antenna I've tried. Yet again, another dud. Poor reception across the board, even worse than the TERK I was so dissatisfied with.
