Pros: In terms of electronics and ergonomics this antenna is highly efficient. It is actually a well-designed 'active antenna' with the amplifier set exactly where it should be: between the two telescopic antenna elements which are both made to be the correct length to efficiently capture UHF TV signals centred around 525 MHz for UK /Euro TV. Non-amplified antennas lose much of their received signal in the thin coax cable going to the TV,- and antennas with amplifiers set at the 'plug' end of the coax cable (the wrong end!) also lose much of their received signal with the result that their amplifiers simply boost the unwanted interference picked up by the coax cable, but this DTA225W amplifies the signal before sending it down the coax and hence is very efficient indeed. I am a Licensed Radio Amateur and send and receive signals across the world so have a reasonable knowledge of what makes a good antenna! Cons: The instruction diagram is a little misleading in that it wrongly labels the position of the amplifier, ...it labels the 'biasT unit' -the power supply usb unit, as the amp but the amp is as said, between the antenna elements. This however does not detract from the quality of the actual product. I have only one real criticism and that is the antenna should be less delicately built and should be of waterproof construction, maybe with a magnetic mount, so that I may clamp it on the roof of my car and use it mobile! Conclusion: An excellent antenna, far superior to most of the others advertised online. A very good purchase. I hardly ever write reviews unless I am either very disappointed with a product or think it is totally brilliant, -this antenna is in the latter category and I hope my review helps to stop people getting suckered into buying badly designed inefficient antennas when they could buy this great antenna for the same price!

A few seconds after I plugged it into a USB socket, there was a little flash within the body of the item, and a faint burning smell. The LED indicators went out, and never came back on again. Since it was so cheap, I threw it in the bin and put it down to experience.

For the price I was a little unsure how good this would be, but it works fine on my smart hd bedroom tv. Picks up all the HD and standard channels available for my area - West Midlands. Looks great with the white bedroom tv. Only thing could be improved is the clamp attachment could be wider to fit all screen sizes. Was a little to small to clamp on to my 24" JVC tv, but I've clamped it to the shelf as it's not near to the window to use the sucker cup.

When it turned up because of the size I was very disappointed! However on conecting it to the TV in my camper this little devise just worked so well I was amazed a strong signal which produces excellent reception ! I am delighted and as space is at a premium in my camper it is a win win !

This very small aerial gives a good quality picture on my portable t v with a gripper or a suction cup to hold it in place for best results.
