Editorial Review:
Featuring a log-periodic design for UHF reception, the PHDTV3 offers a narrow angle of signal acceptance that helps reduce multi-path and increases reception of DTV signals. In addition, the product's design helps reduce spurious or unwanted signals from the side and rear for uninterrupted programming. The PHDTV3 also features a very low noise amplifier with adjustable gain up to 10 dB to maintain excellent Carrier-to-Noise ratio that is critical for digital reception. With approximately 10 percent of DTV broadcast transmissions in the VHF band, dual VHF 40 inch dipoles make the PHDTV3 equally adept for VHF DTV as well as analog. With an impact-resistant plastic cabinet and glossy silver paint finish, the PHDTV3 provides excellent performance in an unobtrusive package. Featuring a low-profile contemporary style, the PHDTV3 boasts the same basic footprint of the original Silver Sensor Classic with added attention to design.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Working great in basement apartment
We live in a basement apartment with a ground-level window. Most of the local station towers are 10-20 miles away. We tried a number of indoor antennas - some amplified, some not. This was the ONLY one we tried that actually worked better than an old rabbit ears / loop (RCA ANT120b).
The ANT120b pulled in 11 channels, 9 solidly. The PHDTV3 Silver Sensor pulls in 17 channels, 13 solidly. Our local NBC and PBS stations went from jittery to solid. We're also now pulling in the Ion affiliate ... Read More
Rating:  - Cheaply made and couldn't pull in one channel.....
Having bought a digital converter in anticipation of the end of analog, I hooked it up with a plain old RCA "bunny ears" antenna. I was able to get about 7 channels after playing around with locations. However, I really wanted to get PBS in and couldn't even get a weak signal, so I bought a Radio Shack amplified antenna and didn't get one channel in--back it went. Then I picked up this Philips PHDTV3 and gave it a try--same thing, not one single channel. It is also very cheaply made. One of the antennae ... Read More
Rating:  - Space Junk
I used this product with a computer tuner, it performed terribly. I tried it on a plasma tv and it still performed terribly. I was better off with a copper wire in the tv.
It's poor design and plastic parts made it fall apart after moving it around trying to get reception.
I replaced it with a set of rabbit ears at a garage sale for $.25. That was the best antenna purchase I have ever made. Digital signal does not require you to have anything special, older plain antennas do best. ... Read More
Rating:  - Great product but a little bit bulky
I'm using with my 42" HDTV. A dozen of over the air TV channel are crystal clear from this product. Nothing is perfect, it is a little bit bulky. If you do not have much time to watch TV, you can save money from monthly payment for Cable company and use this product with your new HDTV.
Please Note:I am placing this product next to the window. If you want to use this product inside your house that do not have a window, not sure it would be work or not..please check another review.
Rating: - Junk
I live 7 blocks from the Empire State Building, where many channels are broadcast from. I picked up a weak analog signal, and no HD signal. I moved to various parts around my apartment with the best reception being static-filled video, and the worst being no video and only audio. I can see if I was 75 miles from Manhattan, but the distance I am from the broadcast antenna is measured in hundreds of yards.
There was no documentation included, and the unit feels cheaply made and clumsy. Returned for ... Read More
