      Hi, Suggest to install it as high as possible, not block by metal or concrete wall, rotate its direction. BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    This is a decent antenna for the price. I like that it has a black side and a white side so you can choose which side will blend in better. I do wish the cord was longer.

    A true bargain buy. I got far more channels and local channels than I expected. This product far exceeded my expectations and I totally recommend it.

    I was a little disappointed in the channels that were avaliable. I don't necessarily think it is a problem with the antenna, but rather we just can't pick up many channels from our location. I was going to have the basic local channels, but could not find them. We moved the antenna to different locations and were able to get more channels. Around 20, but still no local ones like NBC, CBS, ABC, or Fox.

    This amplified antenna is much better than the lower/basic one. Spend the extra few dollars and purchase this one. Much better signal strength.

    Not as good as a clothes hanger

    I bought this for use on Long Island to replace the ugly clothes hanger wrapped in aluminum foil I was using in the kitchen for the countertop TV. The clothes hanger worked better so I returned it and now use a cable splitter with 2 paperclips inserted in it instead. In fairness I'm about 38 miles from NYC and this is a 35 mile range antenna. Why paperclips and a wire hanger work better than a $20 antenna I don't know.

    Works well if your stations aren't too far away. I received 18 channels until my apartment management made me take it off my window. Metal siding on building, blocks segnal.

    Was able to receive the local channels, as needed. Used it inside a garage and seemed to work better sitting next to the TV, as opposed to above it.

    Had it for a month or two now, continually being used. When it's nice out and no wind pretty clear. Gets windy and it sucks lol. Maybe will try one with stronger antenna next time.

      Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate you giving our product a try and using it consistently for the past month or two. We're glad to hear that the video quality is clear when there is no wind, but we understand that it can be frustrating when it gets windy.

      We recommend trying a model with a stronger antenna in the future to improve the signal quality during windy conditions. Your input helps us continue to improve our products and we always strive to provide the best possible experience for our customers. Thank you for your support and we hope you will consider us again in the future.
