Wasn't sure this would do the trick for me but it turned out to
have a strong enough signal to bring me most of the channels I wanted. I mounted outside on my roof. If you are in an area that has a mountain or hill or building between you and the transmitter towers, you might want to try one of the more expensive versions. For about $20 more, you can get the step-up version that has two antennaes on it (as opposed to this one that only has one). However, this one does have the little booster amp that can help. For $200, you can get the step-up model which includes a booster amp.

There are a lot of choices when it comes to selecting an antennae. They aren't all equal. The difference between the $40 "amazing hd antennae" and this is night and day. This one works and picks up all of the stations (including a dozen or more that will never be watched) that I wanted. The other, only a few, and filled with distortions. You get what you pay for, thankfully the cheap one was returned for full credit.

Is a bit expensive but works as advertised but if you're shopping for a general antenna THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! This is a DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA! Get an RCA flat antenna instead if you want general coverage!
With that said the range is wonderful. Great picture and build quality! Able to mount in many ways!

If installed outside this performs as advertised, even in poor weather conditions. We are 45 miles from the nearest towers.

I credit the best buy person for looking at the models available and saying the single mast should do the job! Great assist. Easy out of the box to put together. Instructions are so so, but it is intuitive. Reception is great and the antenna is sitting behind my couch. You must reset your TV channels while in the antenna option.

I went from rabbit ears indoors (Which worked pretty good) to this and super happy. I was able to mount it on the roof thanks to the long cable that it came with. Did not use the amp as it's only going to one device (HDHomerun). Went from 100 channels with ABC dropping out off and on to 130 all perfectly clear with no drop outs. Super impressed. Also, it looks pretty nice as it's on the roof. I didn't want something ugly up there.

Set up in the living room to see if it would work and picked up all the local channels pretty well. When I removed my Dish network antenna I mounted this antenna on the tripod where it was and now receive 95 channels.

I use this antenna in the attic to watch all the channels on the air waves. It works great and has better reception than my roof mounted one.

Easy to set up and install, we put our outdoors. We live about 50 miles from the Toledo group of TV transmitters great signal from all. Greatly appreciate the knowledge of Best Buy assistance. Offer us to return if it did not perform, no need for that. Thank you

Great antenna for OTA channels to cut the cord. In my area the antenna pulls in 50 plus channels installed in the attic. Easy to install and purchased on sale at BB. We use the antenna plus a few streaming services and save a lot of money vs cable.

Good product for my area. Seems to pick up most of the over the air stations I wanted. Main issue was the almost non existent assembly instructions. It would have been easier and faster to assemble with them and I would have given them a higher rating.

I love this antenna! I'd been using a cheap $30 antennae on my apartment balcony, and had to move it every day to find a clear signal. This thing is great! Love it! I now get all channels all the time without having to move it around!
