> [@Djs87](#): > > For those of you who had a good experience with the phillips silver sensor, congratulations. From where I live, its the biggest piece of shit ive ever used my entire life. It picked up channel 2, and thats it. Im taking it back to circuit city and getting my $60 back asap. What a horrible investment! Damn…I hooked up a a freakin stone age antenna to my tv and it picks up 8 digital channels and more analog. What did it cost me? Not a penny cus it was laying around in the freakin closet. Ugh… Its all about the range of the antenna. I guess you just live too far away.
