    Nice little home stereo antenna. Picks up signals great. Bought it to replace my old analog antenna. It still work okay, but wanted a new one for digital signals. So far very satisfied. Would recommend this product.

    Yes, it pulls multiple stations but not the one I want - WQXR. A 20 year-old amplified rabbit-ears from another receiver worked fine but I need it on the other receiver. Why does Best Buy not sell an amplified rabbit-ears? I believe those long pullout antenna rods are needed for weak FM signals.

    Better than not having an antenna, but not much

    Purchased this for my Onkyo stereo system as I thought a powered antenna would help with signal reception. As it is, it didn't do any better - either amplified or unamplified - than the cobbled-together one I had. It's better than nothing and it "works", but lower your expectations.

    The antenna is good and has been very helpful to me in reaching AM and FM channels. Before the purchase I was only able to obtain one channel.

    For FM, this did not work any better than the old Radio Shack "rabbit ears" which I was looking to replace. Previously I had no AM antenna so now iIcan at least get a few AM stations and I may keep it for that alone.
