“What is the plastic for that is stuck to the antenna and is it supposed to be taken off? It has pull tabs like you're supposed to take it off, but it doesn't come off easily and isn't referenced anywhere. Is this the "thin film" in the product name?”

No, that is not the "thin film" referenced in the name. It's simply a protective film. I don't KNOW, but I seriously doubt that leaving the film on would affect your reception, if you're concerned about removing it. But if it bothers you to leave it on, I would suggest beginning to peel it off; and when it sticks, rub a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol along the edge where it's sticking. That should loosen it. Otherwise I suggest that once you get a corner peeled loose, take the film in a firm grip; and keeping it as close against the surface as possible, pull straight away from the "free" corner. In other words, don't peel UP. peel BACK, if you know what I mean. Straight from the free corner to the diagonally opposite corner, low to the surface of the antenna. That will minimize any tendency of the antenna material to peel away from itself. Hope this helps.
