3 Star ReviewPhilips MANT310
Strengths: It provides good reception when the direction is right. HD quality is terrific on my 47" Philips 1080p TV.
Weaknesses: The base is too light and looks cheap. The blue LED doesn't dim and can be bothersome at night.
Summary: Overall it does the job. However, you still need to try different directions and adjust the gains for the best quality. (The max gain doesn't mean the best quality). If someone moves close to the antenna or touches it, the signal can get disrupted. It still cannot provide the same reception as a good outdoor antenna but I guess a small indoor antenna has its limitations.

Strengths: Works wonderfully
Weaknesses: The blue LED is too bright.
Summary: I got the MANT310 antenna to hook it up with my new 52 inch Sharp LCD. What a surprise - I got more than 20 channels over the air.

The analog channels are not viewable. But since all analog channels have digital equivalent, that is not a problem. The digital channels (both SD and HD) look very nice. Of course, the HD ones look even better (I can receive ABC, NBC, CBS, and KQED in HD).

By the way, this model works better than higher end models from Philips (which I also tried).
