thin, compact, works well
Customer Rating
4.0
It's very thin, it's compact and has a couple of different mounting options. You can make it disappear in a room. And, for what it is, it works quite well. I just couldn't give it 5 stars because it isn't as sensitive as other (mostly larger) antennae. So one or two stations in our metro area don't always come in quite as good as I would like.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not as good as the hype

I bought this CD on the strength of 2 cuts. My bad. I really wish I had sampled all the cuts. I would not have spent the money on it. I probably won't bother listening to it again. I wanted to like it but, in the end, it just didn't grab me.
If you are an Adel fan, you'll probably like it. But, if you are not really into her stuff, I'd advise you give the entire album a listen before buying. She has talent, no doubt. But a lot of people, whose music I don't care for, have talent.

It works fine. The picture is good. It's very compact. Set up was easy.
But.... I'm used to most devices coming with cables to connect it. This came with none and that was not spelled out on the box. So I had to order an HDMI cable and wait for that to arrive to set it up. So that was additional cost. Most devices have the transformer built into the device. This one comes with an external transformer/power supply, like a lot of smaller electronic devices. The problem is, my power strip could not accommodate something that large, so I also had to order a different power strip/surge protector. That was also additional cost. So my inexpensive DVD player turned out not to be so inexpensive after all. And I could not enjoy it immediately.

Antennas Direct - Long-Range Digital TV Antenna - Black/Silver
This Antennas Direct DB2E long-range digital TV antenna features an 11.8dBi peak gain and a beamwidth of 60° to receive clear DTV signals across the UHF spectrum.
What kind of antenna would I need?
I live in Brighton Mi area in a rural area about 20 miles from nearest tower. We recently purchased a 50 inch flat screen tv. I currently have a Mohu thin antenna on the wall that is getting around 33 channels. I'm not sure if it is the 30 leaf or not. I know that it's not amplified. I would like to get one that is at least a 50 mile range from the nearest tower. Would an amplified antenna be better to get more stations and be multi directional so I don't have to move it around for better reception? I don't really want to spend a lot for one.
You could certainly try an amplified antenna. But read the reviews. Some are better than others. And some aren't as good as the one you have. I'd specifically look for a review from someone like yourself in an outlying area. Of course, the better ones quite often cost more. But, really, rabbit ears, or these modern iterations of rabbit ears, are mainly made for urban and suburban areas.
If you don't want to go with a dish, want to stay with an antenna and want good reception, you're best best is one of those big, old-fashioned things we used to mount on a pole strapped to our chimney about 6 feet higher than the roof. Of course, when you first set it up, you need 2 people because you have have to play that old "move it a little more; no wait, back a little" game (i.e., getting it positioned just right). Plus, in addition to the antenna and the pole, you have to buy enough cable to go from the antenna to your TV - not to mention drilling a hole in your wall to run it through, like the cable guys. Or you could just leave a window open. :-)

Compatibility
Your description says "compatible with select HDTVs". How can I tell if it will work with my TV? I have a Samsung 40" Smart TV.
I'm not sure why it says 'select HDTVs'. Maybe because you have to have a regular coax style antenna input? Or maybe they're covering their fannies on TVs which are now 4K or UHD and their antenna is officially rated at 1080p. Since you're picking up broadcasts off the air, I wouldn't worry about the latter issue. I'm not familiar with any TV stations broadcasting in anything higher than 1080p at this time. Not to say they couldn't in the future, but you'd be used to 1080p, so even if you couldn't take advantage of it, you'd never know the difference. As to the input, just look at the back (or side) of your TV. Is there an input for a coax cable? It's round, protrudes from the TV, has threads on the outside, with a small hole in the middle. It's usually labelled "antenna". If so, you're good.

is this item Compatible with Panasonic 720p Viera 50in?
I noticed 1080p along with "Selected" HD TV's
Any antenna that works with a 1080p TV should work with a 720p. Your TV is just not set up to handle the high definition signal most stations broadcast in now. It would be no different than hooking cable up to it. Many of those channels are high definition and come into your house at 1080p. Your TV just displays at a lower resolution. Same with the antenna.

Can you use this for two TVs? Or do I need to buy two antennas?
I have two TVs in two different rooms of my house and would like to use this TV antenna. Can one work for both? What would the setup have to be? Thanks.
I suppose you could. But this is a wired antenna, which means you'd have to buy a splitter and enough cable to run a feed to the other room. In which case, you'd probably suffer enough signal loss to significantly degrade the signal. So you'd probably want to buy a signal booster. By the time you buy the splitter and cable (not to mention the booster), you may as well just buy another antenna. Not to mention the fact that you'd have to drill holes or run a cable through your house, either of which could be unsightly.
