Picks up one fm station that isn’t talk radio, religious radio or other than English speaking. Don’t waste your money.

I'm sorry to hear that the AM/FM amplified indoor radio antenna didn't meet your expectations. It's disappointing that it only picks up one station and doesn't receive the type of programming you're looking for. I'll make sure to pass along your feedback to our team, and we'll consider it as we evaluate and improve our products.

Too bad I can't give it 0 stars or I would, didn't do a thing but make my reception worse than it was, now the stations don't come in as good and I have static that I didn't have before!
And yes it's hooked up correctly I triple checked it, it's just a piece of trash don't bother wasting your money on it, find something better which shouldn't be hard, a coat hanger works better than this!

It didn't really improve my AM reception very much. That might not have been any fault of the product, but it just didn't help reception very much over the non-amplified antenna that I already have.

Wrong antenna. The system of sending queries on availability of products to a central location rather than the actual store the query is for DOES NOT WORK! We will not try to determine whether or not a Best Buy has any given item available in store by phone ever again.

This product was not really good at receiving FM signals. My folded dipole, old tech antenna does better and does not need electricity.

This item does not work. This should have been checked out before the installers arrived to do the installation.
I do not like wasting my time or wasting my money.
