The Philips amplified rabbit ears are the best you are going to find, and believe me when I tried the others. However you have to be kind to the pluggins and aerial mounts because everything is mounted to the circuit board. I've got a pioneer Super tuner for a stereo and I can run the stereo DVD and TV through it. In this picture you may notice I had cardboard on the walls to help insolate it. But since then, I've installed rigid foam board and boy you would believe the difference it makes..

My electricity bill: I paid it once, it was pricey, but it's good for 100 watts and there isn't any envelope coming in the mail each month. I use two 125 amp hour marine deep cycle batteries. One did the job usually but if it rained or fogged out for the day, the secondary I'd run low on juice, so 250 amp hours worth of bateries gets you through those bad days. (The truck also has a 1,000 amp marine starter battery I found at West Marine.) I've been using an Iglue 5 day ice chest. Luckily they come with a garden hole drain fitting so I use a 3/4 inch hose adapter and reduced it down to 5/16 for a drain through the floor. When I put on the brakes, the excess water vacates automatically, which works fine in the winter. (5-7 days with block ice.) Helpful Hint: I made a cardboard box to fit around it. That extra layer with my beater jacket covering the top helps.
My pre-amp is a Roland Miro-amp. (above) Going into he Pioneer GT 3100T powere amp. (Under the Philips rabbit ears, below.).
It's like a small bedroom with everything in it.
