Philips PHDTV3 indoor amplified UHF/VHF/FM/HDTV network antenna

SKU CH-EMJ1-A8ZXV

Indoor amplified antenna receives UHF, VHF, FM and HDTV channels 2-13 and 14-69 with 10 dB gain and 40 inch dipoles

  • Clear reception across all channels with high front-to-back ratio rejecting multi-path interference
  • 10dB UHF/VHF amplification boosts weak signals for reliable HDTV and FM reception
  • Covers full broadcast range from channels 2-13 and 14-69 for complete local programming
  • 40" VHF dipoles extend reach for stronger low-band signal capture
  • Directional log periodic UHF element focuses gain forward for balanced urban reception

Indoor amplified antenna for digital TV and FM

The Philips PHDTV3 receives UHF, VHF, FM and HDTV signals through a built-in amplifier. It covers channels 2-13 and 14-69 with 10dB of UHF/VHF amplification. A high gain directional log periodic UHF element and 40" VHF dipoles provide balanced reception across the band. Touch controls allow adjustable amplifier gain for different signal conditions.

Integrated amplifier and coaxial cable

The attached 6 foot coaxial cable connects directly to a television or tuner without extra leads. Touch controls on the unit let you vary the amplifier gain to suit local signal strength. A high front-to-back ratio helps reject unwanted multi-path signal corruption. The flat forward gain slope delivers consistent quality across all received channels.

Suited to urban homes needing simple indoor

This antenna works well where outdoor mounting is not possible and local transmitters are strong enough for indoor use. Buyers who need longer cable runs, outdoor mounting hardware or satellite reception should look at other products. The design targets clear HDTV and digital broadcast signals in densely populated areas.

Questions about this item

Will the 40" VHF dipoles or the built-in amplifier need replacement over time?

The 40" VHF dipoles are fixed passive elements with no moving parts, so they do not wear out. The integrated amplifier is powered through the attached 6-foot coaxial cable and has no user-serviceable components, meaning no scheduled replacement is required.

What limits reception first during continuous use — the 10 dB amplifier gain or the directional UHF element?

The high-gain directional log-periodic UHF element sets the practical ceiling; its front-to-back ratio rejects multipath corruption, so once the antenna is aimed correctly the 10 dB amplifier simply matches the signal level without becoming the bottleneck.

Does the amplifier add noticeable heat or power draw when the antenna runs all day?

The amplifier draws only a few milliamps through the coaxial connection, producing no perceptible heat and adding negligible power consumption to the TV or converter box it feeds.
