    I FIRST CHECKED WITH YOUR CUSTOMER SUPPORT CHAT ONLINE BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT AND WAS ASSURED THIS ITEM COULD BE USED WITH THE SONY RECEIVER I PURCHASED. I HAVE THE CHAT PRINTED OUT. IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO GET THE STEREO HOOKED UP AND FOUND OUT THIS ITEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SINCE ITS PAST 15 DAYS I AM STUCK WITH IT. NOT FAIR.

      We're sorry to hear that our Best Buy Essentials AM/FM Amplified Indoor Radio Antenna did not meet your expectations, particularly after you received assurance from our customer support chat that it would be compatible with your Sony receiver. We understand how frustrating it can be to invest time and effort into setting up a product only to find it's not compatible. We apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment this has caused and would like to make things right.

    I thought it would get me more radio stations than it does. Also a few station nearby are wicked staticky. The main problem though is that the FM coaxial cable does match well onto the coaxial outlet for the FM antenna on my stereo. I wish I'd been able to check that before purchasing
