I'll keep this short and simple. This thing barely works, at all. I've found that you can get a signal off a Digital TV by just hooking up the cord that attaches to it to something else like a DVD player (this amplifies the signal). As long as it's hooked up to SOMEthing, it should be able to get a somewhat decent signal. The problem with this is it's not too reliable and doesn't fully substitute an actual antenna. However, it does work. I've found that hooking up the cord to a DVD player or something else works as effectively as this stupid ANT1000 Digital Flat Antenna. Essentially, all it is is a cord and some thin metal. That's literally all it is! This thing is like a homemade antenna. And that point is even more revelant as you have to assemble this thing, yourself. While not hard to assemble, the instructions don't tell you jack squat, so you have to figure out how to do it, yourself, and not knowing at first, is hard. What you have to do is unscrew the thing and use the tiny holes

Not knowing if I could get reception at all for my analog 26" TV, but had to try with the DTV conversion coming up soon. Perfect reception with this antenna and it disappears into my decor laying flat on top of some books. I am astounded at the picture and sound quality. Excellent and highly recommend.

Some assembly required, but straightforward. It's a cheap way to get some DTV signals if like me, your television viewing is too minimal (or internet-centric) to bother with full-bore DTV services like Cable or FIOS.
As with old-school bunny-ears, placement matters, especially relative to metallic obstructions.
After some fiddling and re-scanning, in my Baltimore-Washington market, my HDTV system was able to detect more than 20 DTV stations, of which I was able to some image on about half, and a steadily clear signal on 4-6 channels. This is similar to the number of completely clear analog broadcast stations in my immediate market.
A major caveat-- there's no staticy-but-viewable analog-style tuning in the DTV world. If the signal is momentarily inadequate to be decoded fully, the image will skip or stutter (like a scratched DVD), and if it's persistently inadequate, there's nothing at all.
