Philips Hover Amplified HD TV Antenna, Easy Mount on Top of TV Design

I don't have cable, and the only thing I really miss watching is football. I live in a major USA TV market, but for some reason several other Amplified HD TV antennas failed to even get the 4 major TV networks that broadcast the games OTA.This one has worked like a champ for the last few years. I can catch the football games with a very clear picture. I even caught a bit of the Olympics. Plus, when my TV scans, it finds a ton of other channels (I'll never have the time to watch most of them).The only downside is that every now and then I'll need to get up and move the orientation of the antenna, maybe due to interference... or the weather? Who knows. At least that's not very often, and once it's set, I can usually get through the whole game without needing to fiddle with it. Like I said, this is better than a lot of other antennas I've tried.

This little antenna works great! We bought it so that we could get local tv channels without paying for cable and are impressed with how it looks and how well it works. Because of its size and color it blends well with the tv and is hardly noticeable . The reception we’re getting is great (the tv sits across the room from windows) and we are completely pleased with how well it’s working so I would say the range is good without having to place the antenna in a window. Completely easy to install. From opening the box, placing the antenna and getting it hooked up probably took less than 10 minutes. We are really glad we purchased this antenna. The price was great and we aren’t having to pay exorbitant cable bills for channels we never watch.

I tried. I tried so hard to get this antenna to work. I even got a second one as I thought the first one was broken. I bought the adapter booster as well. It just wouldnt work. No matter the placement I could not get the antenna to get the very simple channels I wanted.I contacted phillips, they said it is placement. When I tell you I spent hours on top of hours on top of more hours, several times a week and the amount of scrambling I did, I still couldnt get the channels I wanted. and IM talking these channels metv, cozi and rewind. The nostalgic feel good shows that i enjoy to mindlessly watch.I even went as far as getting a newer TV and BOY that was a big mistake as the antenna worked even worse. Yes, I have used other antennas with much better quality but it was an eyesore of seeing hanging cable lines and the only placement to stick was my window but then I couldnt open my window. And opening the window in the summer time is everything if you dont have AC. So thinking I was upgrading to a more stylish antenna, I was excited. NOPE. nothing is more worse then finally getting a clear picture to watch a show and then it scrambles out. Maybe if I put my TV outside with the antenna I would get channels.So here is what I think of the antenna now... Its 100% in the trash.1 star as the only thing it has going for itself was the sleek non instrusive design.

-Great value for an indoor antenna.-Very easy to install. If you have ever attached a webcam to the top edge of a computer monitor this design will be very familiar to you-The modern design and top edge TV mount blends well aesthetically.-Actual performance will vary depending on where you live and how high you mount the antenna. Do not believe any unrealistic channel claims for any indoor antenna. In GENERAL, if you live within 20miles of a major city and you mount this antenna directly on top of a TV located on the 1st floor you should expect at get all of the major network channels and some additional channels. The higher you mount the antenna the more channels you will receive and the better the signal quality. If you live near a cell phone tower I also recommend buying a LTE/5G coax filter to reduce interference (can be found for under $20). I suggest searching online for TV towers in your area, easy to find maps. If you have towers within 20miles this is all you need, if you are further away you may need to mount it higher or get a larger antenna AND mount it higher.My personal results...I live about 20miles north of Detroit, right on the edge of good range. When I mounted the antenna directly on top of my TV I was getting 18 channels, 4 of which were in HD. I added a cable extension and moved the antenna on top of a nearby cabinet hidden from view about 8ft off the ground and now I get 53 channels, 5 of which are in HD. About half of those channels are just 24hour infomercials but the rest OK. Much better than expected, best purchase I've made this year so far.If you mostly stream and just use cable for local news and major networks this is a no-brainer. Get it and cancel your cable subscription, we're saving about $80 per month. This antenna paid for itself in just a couple weeks.

Absolutely—condensed, cleaned up, and no em dashes, while keeping your voice:⸻This can be mounted directly on the TV, and if you can get good reception that way then by all means. I’ve used it in three urban apartments, one suburban apartment, and now in an apartment near the Rocky Mountains in a rural/urban area. I didn’t realize for the first couple of years that it could clip directly onto the TV, so I used the long cord to find the best spot and hung it on the wall. I’ve found that the higher it’s mounted, the better the reception, especially near a window. As with any antenna, some experimenting is required.I’ve never been let down by it. In very urban areas with strong reception, clipping it to the TV worked fine. In less central locations or newer buildings, it needed to be hung higher and near a window. That comes down to location, building, floor, proximity to towers, and interference, which is true for all indoor antennas. What sets this one apart is the amplifier, which is worth the price on its own, and the extra long cord that gives you flexibility to find the best placement. It also twists 360 degrees and opens and closes to fine-tune reception.After going through many awful antennas over the years, I’m glad I found this one. I paid over $30 for my original antenna back in 2019, but forgot it when I moved out of state. Finding this one secondhand for under $20 was a huge win because I know it works and works well. Many returns were likely from people who clipped it to their TV and expected perfect reception without taking a few minutes to find the right spot. Good for me, bad for them, and good for you too.I rarely write reviews and only do so after using a product for years. This is for those who value buying things that last and refuse to pay for free TV channels.

It was easy to set up, but I could only get 14 channels and they weren’t the stations I wanted. I was really hoping it would work because I liked that it mounted on the tv, so no wires going up my wall. I also tried putting the antenna high in my window it only helped me get 3 more channels.

Extremely easy to set up. Requires a plug in to the television via coax and a power plug in to receive power to the device itself. Overall quality of picture was great and helped to receive the channels over the air.

This thing is beautifully minimal. It is tiny, low-profile, and sits perfectly flat right on top of my TV frame without blocking the actual screen. It completely disappears into the bezel. No ugly coaxial cables trailing across my wall, no giant eyesores ruining the living room vibe. If you hate clutter, this is the exact setup you want.The setup took all of two minutes. Plug the coaxial into the back of the TV, plug the USB power amplifier into the TV's service port, balance it on the top ridge, and run a channel scan.Stop paying for basic channels you should be getting for free. This antenna gives you your local channels back without making your living room look like a radio tower hub. It pays for itself in the first month. Buy it, hide it on top of your TV, and fire your cable provider.

Nothing wrong with it but be careful che k signal availability in your area I can't anything with this antenna in my area

I had such high expectations, being a Phillips. It looks great, fits on top of the tv unobtrusively and stylish. However, for use in Ireland it needs to be modified at additional expense. After getting what was needed, it still didn't find me any channels. Sadly will be returning, though, I really thought it was an ingenious product.

Probé varias antenas y amplificadores antes de comprar está, algunas incluso más caras; y de sintonizar 7 canales ahora puedo ver más de 20 y la mayoría en excelente calidad, para mí fue una excelente compra

Good and bad really, aerial is fitted with a continental type mains power plug so I had to buy an adapter for UK supply and the TV coaxial cable had the wrong connector for my Tv so I had to change that as well!, But,it works really well in our poor signal area.

Diseño practico, buen tamaño, se usa de forma normal directo a la pantalla, capta casi todas las señales de TV de la CDMX y decir casi es que hay unas 2 que las encontro y luego le cuesta sintonizarlas pero la mayoria sin problema.
