    Works well, but finicky placement

    I've been using this antenna primarily to watch OTA NFL broadcasts. With the included signal amplifier, the antenna pulls in all four major networks clearly when taped to a window facing the broadcast tower 26 miles away in San Francisco, including ABC on VHF 12 and NBC on VHF 13. However, when using the stand placed just six inches in front of the same window, ABC and NBC have the minimum signal to be viewable, and there is no signal for CBS and FOX. At six feet away from the window, CBS and NBC have the minimum signal to be viewable, and there is no signal for ABC and FOX. While it's nice that amplifier's 6-volt power adapter has a 6-foot cord, I would have preferred USB power drawn from the TV. Still, this beats paying Xfinity $40/month for local channels.

    Basic antenna. Simple setup. Extremely affordable! Now I can pick up all my local channels without needing a cable subscription and without having to put a massive antenna on my roof.

    Almost perfect. Great reception even inside a room 40 miles away from Mt. Wilson (LA area TV). Easy to set up and cables were long enough for convenient placement. One flaw: power requires a "wall wart" plug in rather than a much easier USB power. Modern TVs all have USB working as power source.

    Inexpensive and works very well. 2 items to improve, 1. The adhesive window tabs don’t work very well, just ordered some 3m double sided tape. Hope that works better. 2. The cords are short if your TV isn’t right next to a window. Other than that, Im able to get every channel in my area and I’m about 40 miles outside the city.

    The item works quite well. Easy to install and the picture was quite clear. I would give a better review if I could have found someone to help me find this item and make selections. There were MANY Best Buy employees floating around...none apparently available to detach themselves from their personal chitty chat and frivolity with each other to help a customer. Quite frustrating.

    I have had a large amplified HD antenna in the Attic that distributes signal to all of the TVs in the house. I recently added another TV but could not get a wire from the existing antenna to the new TV so I purchased one of these little guys. I got more channels and better signal on the new TV with the new antenna. I ended up buying four more of these antennas and not even using the big antenna anymore because these work so well for me.

    Honestly A Excellent Antenna for a cheap price

    I have been wanting a new antenna for quite some time now, because 1) the cord on my antenna is short and can't move it around 2) My antenna is really old, I have the old rabbit ears antenna and 3) I got tired of not getting a specific channel. It would always go in and out even when I kept rescanning my 32" tv. I have had this antenna now for close to a month now. I decided to buy one from Best Buy online. Although when it got delivered, the setup isn't as easy as it looks. It has no directions at all except for a bland instruction on the back of the box. However after figuring it out in like 5 to 10 minutes, it was a cinch. The antenna is quite thin as indicated in the title. It looks like cardboard. It has a very long cord, which is AWESOME, because I can move it around which it something I couldn't do with my old one. After moving it around and rescanning my flatscreen tv, THAT SPECIFIC CHANNEL I WAS TALKING ABOUT WAS CATCHY TV, ( I love seeing my throwback shows) that I COULDN'T GET BEFORE BECAUSE IT WOULD GO IN AND OUT with my old antenna, I CAN NOW GET THE STATION ALL THE TIME!!!!! No moving around it to a hundred different places to get the channel to come in!!! IT NOW COMES IN PERFECT WITH ONE PLACE that the antenna is placed at... I will Definitely buy another one for my 65'" inch tv that I have in my living room. Who knew with this price it would be worth it.

    I didn’t know what to expect with this antenna, my expectations were low. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of channels I got with it as well as the picture quality. Would highly recommend.
