    Works great. I have a much better more expensive antenna on our main TV. I purchased this one for a small TV in the bedroom. I only purchased this to get ME TV at night. I was amazed. This thing gets more channels than the more expensive antenna in the living room.

    Verizon was getting too expensive, so I decided to '''cut the cord" and try using an indoor antenna. The ones that got the best ratings on Consumer Reports were NOT carried by Best Buy; then I saw a review in the NYTimes that gave this antenna a good rating, esp. for its price point. However, despite the efforts of a Best Buy installer, the antenna could not get more than 2-3 stations clearly.e HDMI cord that comes with the antenna is only 10 feet, so I bought a longer HDMI cord only to find out you can't "uncouple" that cord than comes with this antenna; another connector is needed. I didn't know that and the tech who was to install the antenna never responded to my queries in advance of his visit. I suggest you open the box before you buy so you'll know what you're getting/what you'll need. Sadly, I wound up returning the antenna. The antenna is thin, as promised, and feels as if it would easily break. Can't fairly answer the next set of questions.

    The empowered antenna seems to work OK, but some days it does not pick up all the channels. The powered antenna I purchased at Best Buy does pick up all the local channels clearly! Thank you Best Buy!

    Do not buy this! I live in San Antonio and live 17 miles from my favorite news station, KSAT 12, and this antenna can not pick up the station. It claims to pick up within a 35-mile range, but it can't even pick up WOAI 4, which is a mere 11 miles away. I've moved the antenna all over the wall, left the coil coiled up, uncoiled it (which made it worse, and even tightened the coaxial cable, and nothing worked. Please dont waste your money. Thank god, I bought it in like-new condition and didn't pay the full price.

    Gift for a family with fancy TV but no cable or internet. Worked like a charm to get the standard channels - NBC, ABC, PBS, etc. Strangely, no CBS, but no big deal.

    We have an outdoor antenna but opted for the indoor antenna for our Tablo TV recording device. It was a chinch to hook up and picks up signals 35 mile radius. I would definitely recommend this device.
