Product of the Week: Zenith ZHDTV1 HDTV Indoor Antenna

Sunday May 22, 2005
The ZHDTV1 is a very small unamplified indoor high definition antenna with 6-7 db of forward gain. Measuring 9.5"H x 13"W x 13.5"D, Zenith's indoor HD antenna receives UHF signals - channel 14 and up. The ZHDTV1 is directional, which means it needs to be pointed at the signal to get the best reception.

This is a good antenna for city-living where signals are strongest. Its front-to-back ratio gets rid of conflicting signals or interference. I would like to see the forward gain a little higher, but what can you expect for around $20. It has a 75 ohm F-jack, so it should install easily to any coaxial device.
