    A good antenna

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The antenna picks up about 90 channels and the clarity is quite good. It is easy to install and the use with my Samsung TV. The cord is too short to reach the window from the location of the TV so an extension cable is needed. It is a great deal for the price and saves so much money compared to cable.

      It's wonderful to hear that our antenna is delivering exceptional performance for you, picking up about 90 channels with great clarity! We're glad to know that it's easy to install and compatible with your Samsung TV. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the cord length, but we're pleased to hear that you've found a solution with an extension cable. We're thrilled that our product offers great value for the price and helps you save money compared to cable subscriptions.

    It didn't work. I guess you need a tv that already had a "digital transformer" or something, but I'm not sure. All I know is I tried it on 2 different tv's, and got nothing. By the time I did all my trial and error, it was too late to return it. Overall, that sucks.
