With all the choices and reviews, it can get confusing what antenna to pick. My stations are between 20-35 miles, and I picked this with the expectation that I would end up returning it and have to go with one of the outdoor antennas.
My 15 year old rabbit years gave me about 4-8 channels, but it was inconvenient and a hassle to adjust.
This one gives me around 45. There are a couple channels that I could receive with my older antenna with some fiddling that have gone missing, but I don't miss them and have not tried adjusting the direction.
A couple things to watch out for:
- the amplifier needs to be plugged in, without it, I do worse than my older antenna
- the power cord for the amp could have been longer - it is only around 4 feet.
All in all, I am going to keep this. I rate this at 3.5 stars - it serves the purpose.

First my place: second floor, no high-rise buildings in the vicinity. 3 miles from the tower. All [digital] channels are in one direction. So theoretically I shouldn't need amplification.
Performance: I put two pieces of wire to built a semi-antenna and it can receive all channels but not at the same time and at the same direction. I'd need to modify the direction to receive the other channels. It is quite annoying so looking for an antenna being able to receive all channels without changing direction and all time modification, I ended up with this amplified antenna. But even this amplified antenna can't receive all channels at the same time. The good thing is, because of that little booster, you don't loose signal time to time. The gain is 60-82, but minimum doesn't fall below 30 resulting in fade out. On the other hand, my home-made wire antenna could sometimes get up to 85, but a small disturbance (a walking person even a few yards away) could result in a 0 gain and black-out. Recommended but for short distances to the tower.

The Philips SDV2740/27 is presently operating with an Insignia converter and doing a good job. The two are a happy marriage and we are completely satisfied with the reception of all the existing TV channels, including the ones we rarely watch. Extending the rabbit ears is the most important part of successful reception and only on rare occasions do we have to adjust them or pivot the antenna slightly if the signal grows weak at certain times of the day. The performance of this model did not achieve a five star rating only because of the special tuning dial housed at the top center of the antenna between the two rabbit ears. For the most part, we found the gadget ineffective and a slight turn of the antenna was the best way to insure a better picture and one that seemed long lasting.

We live in a rural, heavily wooded area of northern Florida. After doing extensive research I concluded I'd probably need an outdoor antenna to pick up the channels we were used to getting via analog signal. I went ahead and decided to try an amplified indoor antenna on the off chance we could avoid the hassle of outdoor antenna installation. Wow! the Phillips antenna pulled in every channel we were projected to get with a top-rated outdoor model PLUS two channels were we not forecast to receive. The signal is steady and strong on 8 of 10 channels we receive and the other two suffer only occasional, brief, and very tolerable signal break-up. At $27 this antenna was a phenomenal buy.

I live about 30 miles from any station. I found that this antenna doesn't "boost", it amplifies. What that means is the stations you get already are going to be more stable. So when a phone rings, microwave is in use, car goes by, people walk in and out you are not going to lose signal. Also I found laying the unit flat with the antennas on top works better then the unit standing up.
