I bought this on a whim and out of frustration. Couldn't watch football one day because my indoor rabbit ear would only get 4 or 5 channels with any clarity or consistency. Now I have around 55 channels that come in, full hd, all the time. Love it!

I was shown this antenna by the sales associate in the store. He recommended it pretty highly and he was pretty much correct. The only thing is its not picking up the ABC station.

We hooked it up inside like it said to do before installing on roof, and we got 38 channels, we didn't put it up outside yet because of the snow. Very anxious to see how many channels it will get then! Picture comes in very clear no snowy screen.

Alittle difficult to assemble but once it was together it just took a few adjustments with direction to get great reception about 50 miles from transmitter .the best antenna I have tried.

Overall this has been a great purchase. We occasionally have issues with the picture but that could also be due to our distance from the TV stations. Was easy to install and setup

I read many reviews and tried one of the flat indoor powered antennas before I ended up with this unit. The flat antenna was rated for 50+ miles and only brought in 30 channels and only one of the networks. It was also a sketchy signal. I tried this antenna indoors at first just to test it and i already got 40 channels with the networks in HD. I ended up mounting it in the attic and i have 69 channels now. I was worried about the radiant barrier in the attic causing problems, but my connection is fantastic. The network channels are crystal clear HD with no interruptions. I am using it with an Xbox tuner on the Xbox one and it works great. I have pausing and guide abilities. Couldn't be more happy. My house is about 55 miles from the towers.

This digital antenna has helped us to get regular channels in that we could not get in with all of the portable antennas that we had tried. We are very happy with it. Thank you Best Buy for your expert advice and help buying this product.

We bought this for our boat so that we can get network channels wherever we go. It creates an excellent HD picture which is better than the DirecTV dish for the non network channels.

If you have to use over 100 feet of coax cable you will most likely need a signal amplifier.

Great picture quality. We went from 3-4 channels (depending on the weather) using a flat panel antenna, to 30 channels!
The only down side, it doesn't rotate once mounted.

Great UHF Reception; but, Mediocre VHF Reception

Bottom Line Up Front - If TV stations in your area only broadcast on the UHF band, you will be very happy with this antenna. If you need VHF capability, this antenna may not meet your needs.
I got this on sale at Best Buy and was optimistic based on all the reviews I read. This antenna provides good to exceptional UHF reception based on where you place it. I assembled and tested it and got good UHF reception on the main level in my house and exceptional UHF reception in my upstairs bedroom (I live just outside Alexandria in Northern Virginia and was actually able to get good reception of the Maryland Public Television affiliate (Channel 22) and fair reception of one Baltimore station (Channel 2) when testing in my upstairs bedroom).
Regrettably, in the Washington D.C. metro area, two of the four major stations (CBS and ABC affiliates) operate on the VHF band. In my tests, the VHF reception was mediocre at best (I actually got better VHF reception from an indoors "rabbit ears" antenna on the main level of my house).
If you live in an area where all stations broadcast over the UHF frequencies, this would be a four to five star antenna. Unfortunately, VHF performance I experienced was two star (if that). It is conceivable that mounted either in the attic or on the roof, the VHF reception would have been significantly better. It is also possible that mounting the VHF elements on the antenna mast (an alternate placement option for the VHF antenna elements) would improve VHF reception. I do like the fact that that option is available as it allows for optimal directional alignment of both UHF and VHF elements of the antenna (the primary VHF element placement option attaches the VHF antenna to the UHF antenna which would necessitate pointing both VHF and UHF antennas in the same direction).
Please be aware that the antenna arrives disassembled (in pieces) and you must assemble it. Assembly is not extremely difficult; but, does take some time and patience. Also, once assembled, the antenna is quite large and unless you are fortunate enough that it works acceptably when placed directly behind your large screen TV (I have a 50" set on my main level and it barely fit behind it), I don't think you would want to use this as an indoor antenna even though it is advertised as an indoor/outdoor antenna.
Since attic or external mounting would be fairly arduous in my house, I was not willing to proceed with such installation with no guarantee of acceptable VHF reception. So I boxed the unit up and returned it. CAUTION - If there is ANY chance you are going to return this antenna after you take it out of its box, make sure you carefully note how the antenna pieces are arranged in the box when you first open it. I made the mistake of not doing so and had an extremely difficult time figuring out how to make all the pieces fit back in the box so I could return it.
Oh well, the search continues for an antenna that will allow me to ditch my cable TV provider.

Just bought this Antenna for my Parents they are very happy with the slim design versus what they had prior. It gets all the channels that are available in our area. Just needed to point it in the right direction.
