Best Buy essentials™ - Amplified Ultra-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna - 50 Mile Range - Black

Works pretty well for the local stations, I needed it to watch network TV football games. This is the second one I purchased one a year ago and they both work fine. This one is in the living room so it has trouble getting one station (there are a lot of trees in my neighborhood) but the one in the family pulls that station in fine. I get ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CW, and Fox plus several other stations. Between this and my Roku and Samsung TV, I only subscribe to one streaming service and I have everything I need.

Like others, I was worried that the antenna would not work well. Living in a 125 year old house with lots of brick, stone, and plumbing and radiator pipes in the walls, AND not being able to place the unit by a window; in a neighborhood with lots of trees; and the urban center between me and the tower 9 miles away; the antenna picked up 95 channels! Of course, I won't watch them all. And some come through Audio only for some reason, but for the major networks plus PBS, I am more than satisfied! PROS: * easy installation * reversible colors * works well for me * easy to configure with Harmony remote and hub (why of why did Logitech kill it?) CONS: * Antenna/power cable is white and stands out if you want the black side exposed * 8 feet cable is not quite long enough. Will need to extend it (not hard to do) * plastic stand is flimsy and is easily moved or knocked over But the PROS far outweigh the CONS, hence my 5* rating.

Super easy to set up and love that it comes with pins/double sided tape to attach to a wall or a mount to stand on its own. I haven’t had service cut out like I do with some of the other antennas I’ve purchased.

Works perfect! have not missed a football game yet

This new “thin film” antenna is not sturdy plastic like the one I bought a year ago. It is cardboard, or what the industry calls card stock. It works, but will it last? And how long before it gets bent and doesn’t work?
