    Got it in case my cable goes out. Easy setup, plugged it in and placed it behind my TV on top of the wall mount bracket; not the ideal location but it works. Tuned in all my local stations and the picture looks good.

    I've had a lot of bad luck with over the air antwnna's. This one was really plug and play. Found 50 channels on the first search. The reception is amazing its true HD!!! The fact that iys thin and basically can hang anywhere is also a plus!!!

    I bought this for my daughter to use in her 2nd floor condo. She wanted to cut down her cable bill and I bought this as experiment to see if it would receive her local otr channels. I was pleasantly surprised how well this antenna works. Even though she doesn't have a window that faces the transmitter, she still receives all the channels with little break up. Great little inexpensive antenna.

    Excellent indoor antenna for the price, at least from a residential location in the Museum District in the city of Richmond, Virginia. It's very easy to set up and activate. I would gladly buy another one again in the future when the occasion arises.

    Hooked up and started getting channels from much farther away than 35 miles. The only issue I ran into was the adhesive pads were a little difficult, the peel off paper didn't want to detach from them.

    Was originally worried bc I live on the bottom floor Apartment and the closest way to the outside was my front door however i have a patio but most of my patio roof is still apart of the upstairs apartment's floor. So i was afraid id have reception issues with my placement. Those worries were dispelled as it worked great! Very simple to set up, literal 'plug and play'

    PERFECT SMALL, FLAT INDOOR ANTENNA

    This is as good, if not better, than several more expensive antennas I’ve bought in the past, including several with amplification. The higher you can mount it, the better (usually). If you move it around, you might find a “sweet spot” for a low strength or distant stations. In one room, I combined two antennas via a coax cable splitter, then ran the combined signal to the TV. This allowed me to pick up one additional weak local network

    I bought this because I was interested in canceling cable but still wanted to get live local channels without having to pay extra through a streaming service. This works great! It provides a great picture to my tv and is flat so it fits perfectly behind my tv on the wall. You don't even see it. I would definitely recommend this product.
