text: My boys damaged My parents old discontinued Phillips Rabbit ear antenna with a built in amplifier. I have been looking for a replacement and so far have purchased 7 various models of antenna from Target and Wal-Mart and have been very disappointed. Not one has come close to the damaged one i am trying to replace. I will say that of all of the purchases this model from Amazon comes in the best, but unfortunately only picks up less then half of the channels that my parents damaged discontinued Phillips Rabbit ears are able to pickup in their current condition. This is far better then the other new models I have tried that do not even pick up a quarter of the channels. This model is very light and feels cheaply built, but I have found This the case with the other units I have tried. This is very forgivable if it works the same as or better then the ones I am trying to replace. Newer technology and newer materials in theory should make a better antenna and I will continue to look for it, but if you don't have anything and need one, so far sadly this is the best in this price range as I found at this time. I am amazed by the customer support for this product it is fantastic. They try very hard to help. For this type of support I moved my rating from a 2 to a 3. I wish other products had this kind of support. Unfortunately for all the stuff they tried, I still couldn't pick up the channels I used to get with my other antenna
