    Wasn’t any different than one I made just for kicks. So I returned it. But staff was very friendly. Even the security guard following me was helpful. So product gets a 2. But the employee services get a 5 star.

    I tried this amplified antenna, but I guess we live too far from the FM stations, because it did not improve the reception. I returned it with no problem. All of my other purchases from Best Buy have been excellent.

    Do not buy

    Just being blunt: this product is terrible. After removing the $3 original wire antenna and hooking this powered antenna up the signal was actually worse. Not just worse, a lot worse. I moved it around to various positions within reason, high and near a window and it did not improve at all. Being a powered antenna it should have pulled the signal in stronger. Stations that indicated "stereo" on the receiver with the simple wire antenna no longer indicated "stereo" and the static was much more noticeable. Do not buy. This was a waste of time. I will be returning this product in the next day or so.

    Very Disappointing

    I had hoped this antenna would help bring in weaker stations that are only 30 miles away. It actually made the stations I was getting even worse. I currently just have speaker wire ran in the attic and it pulls in more stations than this powered antenna does. Stations that I was getting a full signal on with my simple wire would not even come in with this powered antenna. A big waste of money and very disappointing. Needless to say I am back to using my simple wire setup.
