    Purchased this for my Onkyo stereo system as I thought a powered antenna would help with signal reception. As it is, it didn't do any better - either amplified or unamplified - than the cobbled-together one I had. It's better than nothing and it "works", but lower your expectations.

    Nice little home stereo antenna. Picks up signals great. Bought it to replace my old analog antenna. It still work okay, but wanted a new one for digital signals. So far very satisfied. Would recommend this product.

    The antenna is good and has been very helpful to me in reaching AM and FM channels. Before the purchase I was only able to obtain one channel.

    For FM, this did not work any better than the old Radio Shack "rabbit ears" which I was looking to replace. Previously I had no AM antenna so now iIcan at least get a few AM stations and I may keep it for that alone.

    This wasn't any more sensitive than the passive antenna I had previously. However, it's smaller size and convenient stand allowed it to fit on my bookshelf better.
