Good for close local stations. If your stations are not really close better to go with the next step up- the amplified version.

Great Price and picks up all your local HD channels. Super easy to setup and recommended for backup moments. Keep one of these handy.

Purchasing this antenna from Best Buy was a great idea. I was able to set it up quickly and easily. My over-the-air reception improved immediately and dramatically. Stations that had been intermittent were steady and clear. I also got more channels. I could not be more pleased.

This antenna works great. I can pickup up around 60 channels from my house. I even have one in my basement and the antenna is not near a window - I get all the same channels that I get from my Livingroom. It is much more reasonable than paying for cable.

Initially skeptical, but once I set it up, I was pleasantly surprised. Was able to get over 70 channels including all of the main local channels, then additional channels like ion, ion+, etc… I recommend, but may depend on location.

From time to time the cable or streaming service does not work, and this antenna works perfect for getting programing via the air waves.

This antenna works so surprisingly Well! I have it hooked up to my Sony tv, and I live with a lot of tall trees around, and I pick up every channel I ever did when I had Xfinity! For some reason it works better than the antenna that is made for a 50 mile radius. I couldn’t have a more Clear picture on my tv, and I’m so Happy to be saving the money I am by having this antenna!! I Highly recommend this antenna!!

Purchased this for our smart TV in the basement. Could not be more happier. Goodbye cable! Receive 78 channels now! Wow! Installation is easy. Just need to find the right spot to get the right signal. Great buy! I would recommend. We reside in a poulated area. I think this helps with range. I do not know how this will work in a rural area.

It was easy to plug in and set up. Also, it was able to find quite lots of channels. I'm able to watch a couple local news channels in addition to other channels that offer court tv shows, ION, HSN, etc. My main reason for purchasing this was to watch football games and hoping to do so now. I believe this purchase was a great value.

The antenna works great. I live in the city and easily pick up all the local channels and sub channels. I don’t even have it high on a wall or in a window either. Very happy with it.

Overall, solid product. I like that it is double-sided. Mounted it on the wall easily and get most of the local broadcast channels with no issues. The local NBC channel frequently goes in and out. It may be because it uses a VHF frequency, so maybe this antenna isn't great for that.

This got high marks and for only $20.00 it seemed like a no lose proposition. Easy to install . We couldn't put the antenna as close to a window as we would have liked because the cable doesn't stretch that far but even where it is positioned, we get a lot of channels and the reception is mostly very good (the picture occasionally breaks up). Definitely worth the money.

Decent performance, comparable to a well known brand.
No tv antenna is guaranteed to give reception. Local conditions vary quite a bit. However on a side by side comparison, it was very similar to the competitor

I have used similar antennas before, but this one is the best. I live in an area that has trees. And I live in a one-story apartment. We hung this antenna over a nail in the attic (highest point) and aimed as best we could toward the area suggested. It pulled in all the locals with a great picture. We got some channels we weren't aware off. It is a winner for us. Of course YMMV
