Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have just recently finished updating my home theater/home audio setup for my den. I had "graduated" from a 35" RCA tube tv weighing 165 lbs to a new 50" LED flatscreen. I also updated the sound as well. I moved a Kenwood receiver out and in its place put a nice Sony Audio/Video receiver with lots of bells and whistles. I also went with JBL ES series speakers all around including a 12" powered sub woofer. Now......the den sounds like the finest movie theater. Incredible sound and awesome picture. BUT, I still had nothing for just the odd time I need or want to watch something on television. Having kicked the satellite habit at a hundred bucks a month I was limited to what I could get over the air. I had installed a couple of digital antennas to co-exist with my old boom type antenna for my living room where my wife watches most of her television, but I had nothing for my den where I spend most of my listening/viewing time. I could have gotten a splitter and about 70 feet of coax and went under the house to run it from the living room to the den, drill a few holes through the floor, etc. Too much trouble. I saw this and said......what the heck. It had some decent reviews and was modest in cost so I took a gamble and ordered it. I hooked it up not really expecting anything drastic. I just sat it on one of my tower speakers aimed toward my glass sliding door out to the back deck. Was I ever amazed that it picked up some 14 channels from the airwaves. This is almost everything I am getting for my wife in the living room with 3 antennas mounted on a 20' pole aimed in different directions. The channels I receive with this jewel are crystal clear with no dropouts. I am really impressed with this. I went with the small version since it was the only one that utilized a stand mount. This allowed me to just sit the unit on top of a speaker and do nothing else. The others you have to tape to a wall or something similar which would interfere with the operation of the blinds for the glass door. This little baby really outperformed all my expectations. I was impressed and believe you me, it takes a lot to impress me. Clean, attractive, simple to use and unobtrusive. What more can you say or ask for. I did get the model with the built in amplifier.....some models are passive. This is one of those rare products you wish you could give MORE than 5 stars to. It is deserving of more. Thank you 1Byone for this fine product.
