I actually found this antenna in a resale shop for $10. It looked like an open box return that was donated, in like-new condition just missing a few mounting bolts or so. The box says SDV2940, it looks exactly like the MANT940.
I have a tv in a room that lacks a jack to my rooftop antenna. I have tried 4 indoor antennas in the window of this room: first a dipole on a t-stick, then a Philips MANT510, then an RCA panel that looks like a hotplate, finally this antenna. I can say that this one works much better than any of the others. The reception is comparable to the rooftop antenna, with less problems with multipath. This is definitely the way to go for indoor antennas.

I have seen these work pretty decent in some places but usually a good outdoor antenna works a bit better. Depends on your location.

glad it works for you. In my area there is no way that antenna would have a sniff of a signal.
those antennas are good for city settings where you are close to the transmitter or the transmitter is very strong.
You cannot defy the laws of physics needing a large antenna with all the reflectors and directors to gather the weak signals while rejecting unwanted signals and noise from other directions.
my neighbor tried one of those similiar antennas with a built in amp and it would only get one DTV channel. The winegard 9095P got all the channels.

I bought one for my dad, & it worked so well I bought one for me. I have been shocked at what I have been able to pull in with this Edge 1 & 2 on a regular basis. In fact it's rare not to be able to pull them in.
Tropospheric over 300 miles away is my best. Many Tropo's at 150 miles plus.
Would I buy another? You bet.

Tropospheric reception is less dependent on your antenna than it is on atmospheric conditions.

That's true & they are fun to get when you can, but I never got any Trops, or even edge 1 with the old antenna
