Hover Amplified HD TV Antenna, Easy Mount on Top of TV Design

This thing is beautifully minimal. It is tiny, low-profile, and sits perfectly flat right on top of my TV frame without blocking the actual screen. It completely disappears into the bezel. No ugly coaxial cables trailing across my wall, no giant eyesores ruining the living room vibe. If you hate clutter, this is the exact setup you want. The setup took all of two minutes. Plug the coaxial into the back of the TV, plug the USB power amplifier into the TV's service port, balance it on the top ridge, and run a channel scan. Stop paying for basic channels you should be getting for free. This antenna gives you your local channels back without making your living room look like a radio tower hub. It pays for itself in the first month. Buy it, hide it on top of your TV, and fire your cable provider.

Absolutely—condensed, cleaned up, and no em dashes, while keeping your voice: ⸻ This can be mounted directly on the TV, and if you can get good reception that way then by all means. I’ve used it in three urban apartments, one suburban apartment, and now in an apartment near the Rocky Mountains in a rural/urban area. I didn’t realize for the first couple of years that it could clip directly onto the TV, so I used the long cord to find the best spot and hung it on the wall. I’ve found that the higher it’s mounted, the better the reception, especially near a window. As with any antenna, some experimenting is required. I’ve never been let down by it. In very urban areas with strong reception, clipping it to the TV worked fine. In less central locations or newer buildings, it needed to be hung higher and near a window. That comes down to location, building, floor, proximity to towers, and interference, which is true for all indoor antennas. What sets this one apart is the amplifier, which is worth the price on its own, and the extra long cord that gives you flexibility to find the best placement. It also twists 360 degrees and opens and closes to fine-tune reception. After going through many awful antennas over the years, I’m glad I found this one. I paid over $30 for my original antenna back in 2019, but forgot it when I moved out of state. Finding this one secondhand for under $20 was a huge win because I know it works and works well. Many returns were likely from people who clipped it to their TV and expected perfect reception without taking a few minutes to find the right spot. Good for me, bad for them, and good for you too. I rarely write reviews and only do so after using a product for years. This is for those who value buying things that last and refuse to pay for free TV channels.

I tried. I tried so hard to get this antenna to work. I even got a second one as I thought the first one was broken. I bought the adapter booster as well. It just wouldnt work. No matter the placement I could not get the antenna to get the very simple channels I wanted. I contacted phillips, they said it is placement. When I tell you I spent hours on top of hours on top of more hours, several times a week and the amount of scrambling I did, I still couldnt get the channels I wanted. and IM talking these channels metv, cozi and rewind. The nostalgic feel good shows that i enjoy to mindlessly watch. I even went as far as getting a newer TV and BOY that was a big mistake as the antenna worked even worse. Yes, I have used other antennas with much better quality but it was an eyesore of seeing hanging cable lines and the only placement to stick was my window but then I couldnt open my window. And opening the window in the summer time is everything if you dont have AC. So thinking I was upgrading to a more stylish antenna, I was excited. NOPE. nothing is more worse then finally getting a clear picture to watch a show and then it scrambles out. Maybe if I put my TV outside with the antenna I would get channels. So here is what I think of the antenna now... Its 100% in the trash. 1 star as the only thing it has going for itself was the sleek non instrusive design.

-Great value for an indoor antenna. -Very easy to install. If you have ever attached a webcam to the top edge of a computer monitor this design will be very familiar to you -The modern design and top edge TV mount blends well aesthetically. -Actual performance will vary depending on where you live and how high you mount the antenna. Do not believe any unrealistic channel claims for any indoor antenna. In GENERAL, if you live within 20miles of a major city and you mount this antenna directly on top of a TV located on the 1st floor you should expect at get all of the major network channels and some additional channels. The higher you mount the antenna the more channels you will receive and the better the signal quality. If you live near a cell phone tower I also recommend buying a LTE/5G coax filter to reduce interference (can be found for under $20). I suggest searching online for TV towers in your area, easy to find maps. If you have towers within 20miles this is all you need, if you are further away you may need to mount it higher or get a larger antenna AND mount it higher. My personal results...I live about 20miles north of Detroit, right on the edge of good range. When I mounted the antenna directly on top of my TV I was getting 18 channels, 4 of which were in HD. I added a cable extension and moved the antenna on top of a nearby cabinet hidden from view about 8ft off the ground and now I get 53 channels, 5 of which are in HD. About half of those channels are just 24hour infomercials but the rest OK. Much better than expected, best purchase I've made this year so far. If you mostly stream and just use cable for local news and major networks this is a no-brainer. Get it and cancel your cable subscription, we're saving about $80 per month. This antenna paid for itself in just a couple weeks.

It’s hardly noticeable so I can leave it on my TV all the time. I think the range is good. It is easy to install and set up. I tried 2 other antennas before I got the Philips Hover. With those I was able to get some of the local channels except for one of the main local channels. To get that channel I would have to open my front door and hang the antennas over the door by the wires in order to even get it to come in with a pixelated picture. With this antenna, I do have to move it a tiny bit closer to the door to get that channel, but the picture comes in great. I’m very happy with this antenna.

My old cheap antenna, which I use to watch some local channels not available on my cable, was not picking up as well after I bought a new TV. The old one sets in front of the TV like a small soundbar. I added a soundbar to the TV in front of the antenna and lost even more of my channels. So I decided to try this one which clips to the top of the TV. However, the edges of my new TV are very thin, and the clip came down onto the top edge of the actual screen. I was uncomfortable with that and lying the antenna down flat, but it would not pull in anything except the closest stations. So I put it back on top of the TV and decided to try it, anyway. To my surprise, it pulled in channels I never picked up before. However, once I started watching my favorite channel, which is also the closest one, there was a lot of pixelation; the station kept cutting out. It could have been the weather, but I've never had it cut out that much before with the old antenna - and this one had picked up more channels! Since I was uncomfortable with the clip coming down over the screen, anyway, I decided to hook up my old antenna again and most of the pixelation was gone. I then found that I can set the old antenna in front of the sound bar and get back most of my stations and that it did not interfere with the sound bar. So I'm just going to keep using the old antenna for now and return this one. NOTE: I did not use the amplifier on this antenna; the old antenna did not have one and the first antenna I tried several years ago made no difference whether I used the amplifier or not. This one pulled in stations farther away even without the amplifier, because it was positioned higher and did not have other electronics blocking the signal. But it did pixelate more than the old unamplified antenna during the short time I tried using it.

Yay! Morning news! I just moved and the inexpensive flat antenna that I had been using didn’t work at all. My TV is on an interior wall and there is no good way to rearrange my bedroom to put the TV near the window. ChatGPT actually recommended this amplified antenna along with a few others. I chose this one for a few reasons - 1. It was the cheapest of the options 2. It had the fastest delivery (next day) 3. No ugly wall mount behind the TV or running long wires It was here when I got home from work. Set up was super simple. I just screwed it onto the tv, screwed on the amplifier, plugged in the amplifier and simply set it right on top of the TV - BOOM all of my local channels are back. I highly recommend this antenna if you need a little extra strength for TVs not near a window.

I don't have cable, and the only thing I really miss watching is football. I live in a major USA TV market, but for some reason several other Amplified HD TV antennas failed to even get the 4 major TV networks that broadcast the games OTA. This one has worked like a champ for the last few years. I can catch the football games with a very clear picture. I even caught a bit of the Olympics. Plus, when my TV scans, it finds a ton of other channels (I'll never have the time to watch most of them). The only downside is that every now and then I'll need to get up and move the orientation of the antenna, maybe due to interference... or the weather? Who knows. At least that's not very often, and once it's set, I can usually get through the whole game without needing to fiddle with it. Like I said, this is better than a lot of other antennas I've tried.

Nothing wrong with it but be careful che k signal availability in your area I can't anything with this antenna in my area

I had such high expectations, being a Phillips. It looks great, fits on top of the tv unobtrusively and stylish. However, for use in Ireland it needs to be modified at additional expense. After getting what was needed, it still didn't find me any channels. Sadly will be returning, though, I really thought it was an ingenious product.

Probé varias antenas y amplificadores antes de comprar está, algunas incluso más caras; y de sintonizar 7 canales ahora puedo ver más de 20 y la mayoría en excelente calidad, para mí fue una excelente compra

Good and bad really, aerial is fitted with a continental type mains power plug so I had to buy an adapter for UK supply and the TV coaxial cable had the wrong connector for my Tv so I had to change that as well!, But,it works really well in our poor signal area.

Diseño practico, buen tamaño, se usa de forma normal directo a la pantalla, capta casi todas las señales de TV de la CDMX y decir casi es que hay unas 2 que las encontro y luego le cuesta sintonizarlas pero la mayoria sin problema.
