Customer Ratings & Reviews

It serves its purpose in getting local channels, but that is all. I really could not afford anything more expensive.

Worst antenna ever. Rabbit ears work better. Can't wait to return. Worst purchase

Antennas like these indoor types require you to have a line of sight view of the tower. Any obstructions like hills, trees, buildings, etc. restrict its range. It found some stations but not at the range that it was advertised. I bet it works great in Tulsa but not for me in Osage County.

I "cut the cable" 5 years ago, in a different city, and never looked back. If you are looking at OTA antennas you are contemplating the same. After having an outdoor antenna for 4 years I waited several months to buy this unit, in my new city, because I was dubious of the reception of an indoor antenna because ALL the antennas are 18-30 miles to the southeast of me, with a densely populated city and many structures in between. (The previous antenna was a larger, ($$) Clearstream antenna made for roof or attic placement.) I've only had this indoor unit 2 days, but trial and error has resulted in between 42 & 57 channels, depending on the exact location. (It is interesting how moving it only 2 feet left or right, then rescanning, can result in as many as 8 additional or different channels.) Considering the limitations of my current location, I am very pleased with both the number of channels and the quality of reception. As a second OTA antenna, I've learned a few things about OTA antenna usage: - Every time you move it, you must rescan the TV to see the effects of the move. - try a window first....any window. Even though it has a multi-directional feature, I first placed in on a wall "facing" the direction of most antennas in my area (southeast). I got roughly 40 channels. "Not bad" I thought. Then I placed it on a window facing directly west and rescanned. I got 52 channels. So try a window first. - Reception quality of some channels will change depending on time of day. Some channels that are choppy/lagging during the day come in very clear, with no chop/lag, in the evening. I found that on my first antenna as well. - In general, higher is better. But don't assume any pattern holds. Meaning just because you moved it 2 feet west and got 5 fewer channels, that 2 more feet west will result in more loss of channels. It doesn't seem to work that way. At least, it didn't for me. - After a rescan, when you cycle through the list of channels, some channels will need a few seconds to hone in on the signal. Both this antenna and the previous one had some channels that were choppy at first, then over 15-30 seconds became clear with no chop. Patience. Give this unit, or any other OTA antenna a try. You may be surprised what TV viewing is available outside of cable or satellite..not to mention free streaming online.

I bought this antenna because my local antenna was 40 miles away. Out of the 20 channels it "picked up", only about 2 were watchable. I tried different facing walls with about the same results. Each time I would place the sticky backed antenna on the wall it would last about 20 minutes before falling off. Got fed up and returned it to the store. Total garbage

This antenna did not pick up many channels in my house. I had to chose another one.

I wouldn't recommend buying this antenna. Not a good buy and major disappointment.

Device picked up very few channels. The stick to the wall feature did not "stick".

I stuck on the window, not luck, move it around, no channels

It doesn't work for me, to complicated to get dignal.

I am so excited about this! As a 20-something struggling with quality vs. quantity vs. my budget, this ended up working out really well for me! I don't have much space, so I'm a HUGE fan of the small size. After testing out a few different locations to get the most/best signals, I am SO excited to be watching my shows for FREE!! Budget-wise, a monthly cable bill was just not an option for me, so I am more than happy to pay the one-off price for a really good antenna. From my experience so far, I've had a really reliable signal. If I have to experiment again with positions or something, this antenna makes it so easy so I'm not worried. I do have Netflix, but for keeping up with my shows and live TV, this is a life-saver!

No reception unless you plan on moving next door to a tower reception. It sucks so bad don't know how people can give good reviews for something that it doesn't work.

I had to return this because it simply didn't work. I got a more expensive one ($100) as its replacement and that worked great

I returned this item to the store because I spent two hours trying to get it to work and was unsuccessful.

This antenna is advertised as it will capture signals from far away. It has not been my experience.

Could only receive one scratchy channel -- went back to the store and the Best Buy people just laughed

I only get 6 channels and most of them keep pixelating... Poor Poor product. Don't waste your time.

It didn't get any more stations than a cheap $10 rabbit ears. I was very disappointed.

This antenna was not at all helpful. I returned it immediately.

I recently "graduated" from my 2005 tube TV to a new flat screen. (Finally!) My old amplified rabbit ears just wouldn't pull in all the available digital stations well since the new TV blocked them. (They previously sat on top of the tube TV). Purchased this antenna after looking at the reviews. EVERY available channel (including some I could not receive with the rabbit ears) is crystal-clear. I mounted this in a 2nd story window using the sticky surface (you can also place it on a wall) and didn't even try non-amplified, which is a choice in case you live nearer to the transmitters. I am very, very happy with this product.
