Well for me it is NOT a last resort. If was my first choice and very happy with results.

BTW:
When I bought my Florida winter house and was remodeling it I ran a coax cable from the TV inside the house to the inside of the MH and plugged into booster.

Then I bought the inside antenna and mounted it on inside wall. Which is several feet 'lower' than the batwing on MH.

I actually get more channels with the indoor antenna. Mounted exactly across from MH batwing and as mentioned mounted significantly lower.

I too was very surprised of the results. It was purchased as a temporary situation but in light of results I will not be replacing it with an outdoor antenna.

Does anyone have any experience with these types of TV antenna's

To the OP, yes they do work if you buy the best one available.

there is simply no way an inside or stick-on antenna of any kind will perform as well as any working external antenna, especially a working Batwing and there's no amount of talk that will change the fact that an in the open and elevated antenna is simply a better solution. These antennas, just like the old Rabbit Ears ARE a last resort when you cannot use an outside antenna, and you get what you get... simple as that. There should be no reason to go into what obstructions of any kind do to RF, and THAT is what kills these cheap little antennas. If you claim this panel antenna works better than your Batwing, then it's broken, period.

So to the OP: and they any good? NO! Just like Rabbit Ears, if it's that's all there is then obviously it's your only choice
