"It works well with my Sharp HDTV. The digital stations listed from antennaweb can be found."
Pros: Good reception. Easy to set up. Long cable included
Cons: The antenna should have a base specified for indoor usage.
Summary: The antenna comes with a power injector to connect between TV and antenna cable. It makes big difference with or without using the injector. Initially, I forgot to install the injetor and the stations I could receive are only part of those listed in antennaweb.org. Once the power injector was connected, all digital stations showed up at once.
Although the antenna can be used either indoor or outdoor, the base of antenna is not designed well for indoor usage unless you drill holes on wall or somewhere to fix it. I have placed the antenna on a table and had to use a book to hold the base to make the antenna stable. The antenna should come with a base specific for indoor placement.

Hi North - pardon me, but I just saw your name and this is the only way to get a message through to you - are you the same North Wood who attended Malibu Park Junior High? If so, please send me an email, we were in the same group of friends! MC - tambour35@hotmail.com

I compared MANT940 with RadioShack's DA-5200, both indoor/outdoor, amplified, and wall mountable, DA-5200 won and it is smaller, I could hide it underneath my TV. MANT940 does have a longer cable, however.
I live 7 miles from the TV towers.
