Great Laptop to TV Adapter for Travel
This is a terrific laptop-to-tv adapter. The composite video output enabled me to connect to older and newer TV's while staying at several different hotels on a recent trip. I heartily recommend this adapter for travellers who want to connect laptops to a variety of TV's.

Works like magic
This product works really well. Does it exactly what you expect it to, going from your VGA and headphones ports right into your TV. And what's more, all the cables are attached in a clean bundle. Most of the other products out there don't do sound. The Sewell does. I haven't had to mess with the controls on the box itself because it looked so good the first time. All I needed was to reboot my computer and change the resolution. I highly recommend!

Great product for the price!
Easily view streaming movies from my laptop (the reason I got it). Small font's can be a little difficult to read. Perfect compromise between picture quality and price. I love the cable setup; easy to manage. I'd buy it again!

Product Description

How This Works:Using the Sewell PC to TV converter is easy and simple with zero software to install. The converter features an all-in-one cable that breaks out into the three cables you'll need to connect to your computer: a VGA cable, a 3.5mm stereo audio cable (aka 1/8" stereo audio or mini stereo jack), and a USB cable (just to power the converter). The all-in-one PC-side cable reduces cable clutter immensely. Once the VGA, 3.5mm audio, and USB is connected, you'll just need to connect the red, white, and yellow (right/left audio and composite video respectively) ports to your TV with the provided cables. This unit also supports S-Video output to the TV (optional).The PC to TV has built-in button controls to adjust the video and also to zoom in if desired.Quality of Conversion:As with all PC to TV conversions, the image quality is not quite that of straight VGA pass-through. We have a very comprehensive article with screenshots where we compare the PC to TV conversion with straight VGA. The PC to TV converter works well for picures and videos, for small text and fine detail we recommend the VGA to HDMI converter which is optimized to work with HDTVs.Past Models:Being the world leading distributor of PC to TV products, Sewell Direct knows the concerns users have had with past units; mainly the issue with cable clutter. Not only have we improved the PC to TV by including audio (so you don't have to route a seperate cable from your PC to the TV to handle audio), but we've combined all cables that go to the PC in one single break-out cable. The difference is quite significant: Top to learn more

Comparing AppleTV to Roku2 XS
I own both the new Apple TV (1080P/2012) model and the Roku2 XS.

Can Restream old purchased episodes. Netflix App much cleaner and more superb. Streaming and buffering causes no delays or degradation of picture.

Great Antenna!
Absolutely the best antenna for DTV reception on the market! I upgraded from a DB4 in hopes of getting reception out of market and it easily locked in all the local stations at a distance of 40 miles, But I was blown away at how well it captured many stations from a town over 100 miles away. I live on a hill so that obviously helps and your mileage may vary, but I never had as much consistent long range reception with any other antenna. Another plus, it's no larger than a DB4.One tip: The position of the binding posts used to attach the buss bars do not leave much room to tighten the wing nuts, so connect both sets of tapered loops with the buss bars, first, before assembling the rest of the antenna. That should make things easier.FWIW, the negative review below is obviously a troll and should be disregarded; he has posted the exact same comments about the DB2 and the DB4. Hmmmm..

Huge upgrade from the Antennas Direct DB4
I've been using a DB4 antenna for about a year and a half, and it was OK. It was connected to a 4-port amp, which outputs to a pair of HDHomeRuns. Out of the ~15 HD stations in my area, I could get a good signal on ~4 of them at a time (depending on how the antenna was pointed), marginal on 3-4, and the rest were totally unusable. I finally got tired of this, and was about to purchase a DB8, when I noticed this little beauty. I figured I couldn't go too far wrong, and ordered it. After 5 minutes for assembly and 5 minutes to mount it in the attic (just guessed which direction to point it -- the wide beam on this antenna is wonderful), 13 of the 15 stations get near-perfect reception (>90% signal, >90% SNR); the other two are good (>70% on both). WOW - what an improvement, especially for an antenna that is only slightly larger than the DB4!Highly recommend this over the previous generations of Antenna Direct antennas. And with Amazon's Prime shipping, you can't go wrong on...

It Works For Me
I have an antenna in the attic which has pulled in analog signals for us just fine over the years. Got one of those digital to analog boxes so I would be able to continue getting off-air after February '09. Even though the box was attached to the same old antenna I was surprised that I could receive no digital stations.Looking at the reviews I decided to get the Clearstream 4. I placed it in the attic, although the material recommended not to. It pulled in the 4 local digital stations but two of them were badly pixilated. I moved it up to the roof and am now receiving good signals. We live 25 miles from the TV towers, in a low valley with large trees between us and the towers. This antenna works! I also appreciate that it is light and thus was easy to move around to the different placements. If you are in a difficult location, be sure to point it at least roughly in the direction of the digital tower(s).

Bought this at Retail store during the switch over to cable tv only. Works the way it should. The use of TV cable its not as clear it should be, but neither is my TV high resolution to begin with. I found a few channels using this box that wasn't seen on before with just plain TV antenna. It must have converted the signals somehow.

Great Product
I was kind of expecting cheap Chineses junk at this price, but I was wrong. I received this product and was blown away. Packaging looks great, and everything in the box is branded Vortex HD. I got it installed on a 1" mast pole and everything works great. It picks up all the channels I want without any rotation generally. If I need it to rotate I can use the remote and it works as advertised. It is pretty low profile up on my roof, the black color makes it blend into my shingles. Great product.

Product Description

Compatible with all TVs and HD signals:Whether you live in a big city our out in a rural area, chances are you have free available HD signals being broadcast in your area. All you have to do is get this antenna installed and you'll be enjoying crystal clear HDTV in your home.This antenna is also perfect for standard televisions that don't support HD. You of course need an HDTV to enjoy full high definition images, but there are also many standard definition signals available and the Vortex will pick all of them up.Motorized Rotation and Remote Included.The Vortex HD includes a built-in motor and wireless remote. This means you need only to get on the roof once. Once installed, if you ever need to make an adjustment, the wireless remote allows you to rotate the antenna 360 degrees. The rotator allows one full rotation and then automatically rotates the opposite direction for another full rotation to avoid cable wrapping around the pole. Built-in Booster There are other antennas on the market that claim to have a built-in booster but don't go to any lengths to explain what that means. With antennas, since they passively receive signals that are broadcast from afar, have no way of 'boosting' the signal coming from the signal tower. The signal any antenna receives is as good a signal that it's ever going to get, no matter how expensive it is. The Vortex HD, however, does have a booster that strengthens the signal strength in the wire between the antenna and your TV. This allows you to increase the length of your cable without worrying about signal loss. With a high-quality coaxial cable, you could extend the signal up to 300 feet. Easy Assembly The majority of the parts are already assembled. The estimated time to get the antenna ready for mounting is 5-7 minutes out of the box. Top to learn more

For the money, this is a good antenna
Especially when you consider it is amplified. It doesn't seem to be super-directional, which is fine with me as I don't have problems with any reflections or tall buildings; +- 20 degrees not a big drop in signal. But don't depend on the rotator motor; Mine gets stuck easy, and totally stopped moving before I even got it on the roof! Likewise in high wind it may move on it's own as the motor doesn't really lock the position into place.It is 100% ABS plastic except for the 2 side elements. ABS is not good with UV, so I will probably paint it. For the money, who cares? If it's in your attic then no worries I guess.The front "elements" of the antenna are not connected at all! I think it is intended to help increase directionality. I removed the entire front boom with the silly looking elements and the gain was not affected at VHF or UHF. If anything, it increased the gain a bit. So you can make the antenna smaller and not as goofy looking, just leaving...

Instructions?
I received my Vortex HD atenna in a timely manner. It included typical (made in China) assembly instructions. Even at that it only took about 15 minutes to assemble. However, there are no instructions on how to actually attach it to the TV. Where the unit should be placed in accordance to the TV, etc. And also, no troubleshooting ideas. Such as what to do if the remote does not affect the rotation of the antenna or, what to do if the antenna only rotates one way and only sometimes, etc. I'm perplexed. Likely going to unassemble and return this product.

Doubled my channels! Some tips for installing...
I live about 35 miles from the city where the transmitters are located, with a few trees obstructing a clear shot from my roof. But since I was determined to eliminate our monthly cable bill and go with FREE instead, I looked at many different outdoor antennas and read dozens of reviews. I also found out signals in the air are 100% HD, whereas cable compresses the signal to around 70%. But you probably already know that if you're looking for an outdoor antenna...Anyway, after weeks of research I decided to try the DB8. When we first cancelled cable, I was getting 16 channels using RCA's "best" amplified indoor antenna. After hooking up the DB8 on the roof and aiming it in the general direction of the city, I got 35 channels. I eventually added a Motorola Signal Booster to the line in order to get the local ABC affiliate that is a little further away, bringing the total to 36 channels.Needless to say, I love this thing. Years ago we had the conventional old...

Best in class long range antenna.
I live over 50 miles from the stations. The DB8 is the best antenna I have found for long range reception. It is tuned for the higher DTV frequencies and is resistant to interference. It will be much harder to get the same results from a combination UHF/VHF antenna.With my previous antenna, I could only receive 3 Of the 8 HD stations in my area.After installing the DB8, I not only got all 8 stations with 85% or better signal strength, I was even able to improve the signal on my existing channels by about 20 points.For the previous reviewers who had a problem, it was most likely an installation error. Unless you live very close to the towers, it's kind of hard to screw up DTV reception with a high gain UHF antenna like the DB8.For long range reception the DB8 is best in class, but as much as I like its performance, this is probably not the best antenna for people living less than 5 miles from the transmitters, as it could possibly...

Product Description

Intended for people at great distances from the transmitters, the DB8 is one of the most powerful multidirectional HD antennas. In fact, its 15.8 dB gain make it one of the most powerful multidirectional antennas available, with a range of up to 70 miles or more. Its high gain, flexible aiming characteristics, and weatherproof construction make it an excellent choice for outdoor applications, particularly in more remote areas. The bowtie design of the DB8 uses triangular elements instead of rods to greatly increase the bandwidth, allowing it to cover the entire UHF band. Top to learn more

Super sensitive, difficult to point
Buying an antenna for your digital TV receiver? It can be difficult, eh? If you live in the city near the transmitters, it's fairly easy -- any small, truly omni-directional antenna will do fine (perhaps the Antennas Direct DB2). If, like me, you live 50+ miles from the TV transmitters and they're in different directions, it becomes a challenge. Here's some tips:- No antenna is totally "omni-directional" (receives from all directions) no matter what the ad says. Every antenna receives better in one direction than another, and the high-gain antennas are the most picky. Your TV's rabbit ears antenna might do better than a fancy high-gain antenna if it's pointed in the wrong direction. If you buy a "uni-directional" or high-gain antenna, be prepared to spend a lot of time tweaking the direction.- Don't believe the high-gain ratings, they're mostly marketing hype. There are independent web sites by antenna nerds that rate antennas fairly, so do some research. What...
