    Got this prior to doing my research. This flimsy thing and any indoor antenna will not receive anything in the Buckeystown, Ballenger Creek areas of Frederick. Save yourself some time if you live in Frederick. These shouldn't even be in a Frederick store because of the dead zones. Also, what is with this cheap plastic stand? It's couldn't hold anything up even if you pin it to the wall. Back to cable

    Just got a chance to get it set up today after my vacation. First, the shipping box is damage. Second, the product is not working. No channel are found from my TV. More disappointed when it comes with 1 month fubo free trail but could not redeem due to link 404 error. Contact Bestbuy, they passed it out to Fubo then contact Fubo, they said the link from bestbuy not their responsibility. Woah.... Dont waste your money and time on this product.

    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. If you have any further feedback or questions, please feel free to reach out. We're here to assist you in any way we can!

    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.
