    For some reason it took a few weeks for the signal for all channels to come in like it should. It’s working fine now. Our best location for the antenna is on the roof. I connected the antenna cable to our unused cable TV cable. We are getting all of our local channels just fine. With the Roku voice remote we can tell the TV which channel we want to view as well, avoiding having to use the guide button each time. It’s been nice not having to pay for cable TV subscriptions.

    This is an awesome antenna. For years I have been using an indoor antenna with only getting 25 channels and off and on reception on my favorite channels. I saw this on sale and decided to try it. I was a little skeptical of me putting it on my roof, but I installed it quickly with no problems. Now I get 40 stations and all of them are clear reception. I wish I had put this antenna up years ago.

    The first antenna I got wouldn't pick up any channels in my area. Once I set this one up I had 58 channels, So excited to have lots of options to watch my TV without extra cost.

    This antenna give a clear picture. It has great range. We mounted it on our bookcase, and it's working fantastic. We have it connected to a 4k ultra HD TV, and we can't tell the difference between the HD signal and the antenna! The picture is that clear! Yes, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good antenna at an affordable price.

    The Antenna is providing excellent service. The only hitch was in the installation. The attachment of the "Antenna Base" to the antenna has a blind connection of the coax cable to the antenna. You cannot see whether the connection is straight or secure. The center conductive wire of the coax was bent when I tightened the screw and had to be replaced. I was more careful installing the replacement piece and everything is working fine now.

    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!

    So far we LOVE it!!! This antenna replaced our 3 antennas (one for each TV) . it took time to find optimal signal. Right now antenna is inside of the house in the basement but planning to move it outside to possibly get even more channels., ? Just need to figure out what would it be the best way to bring coaxial cable in the house.

    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.

    Does a pretty good job. Installed in the attic and connected to my tv via an old comcast cable line. Picked up 45 channels. That includes several telemarketing channels but hey, they are channels. Good reception. Our Spectrum service is out a lot and we had plenty to watch.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Signal Booster went out on my parents tv, and as they live quite rural, a new one was needed pretty fast. Looked at this, the reviews looked good, one was available and home it went. Install in the attic took time, lots of lines to determine which room they went to, and configure a neater, tidier set up for routing, used an app from the App Store to determine best orientation and then hit the rescan button on the tv. Over 100 channels came in, more than before. And much better quality. What an improvement over “ when we get snow we lose channels”. Definitely recommend!

    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.

    Great antenna, picture is clear on the stations that I get, I need to get someone out to put it up a little higher to pick up everything. I do like the compact design.
