    Simple set-up and didn't have to download yet another app on my phone to connect it (like I had to with an RCA antenna for my home office Fire TV.) Now receive 49 additional channels, including all of our local networks. Excellent price for the variety of programming content it provides.

    Reception for Local Channels (Garland TX)

    We no longer have cable service. Cable service is much too expensive with worthless channels. I am using this antenna to try to get local channels in the Dallas TX area. Today. Channel local channels 4,5 had some dropouts or poor picture but picture clear 90 % of the time. Channel 8 was 100% today. No dropouts. Channel 11 was 90% today. That is the reason for 4 star instead of 5. The picture quality overall was good when reception was strong. Will continue to test for summer getting ready for football season on local channels.

    Works better than a similar priced antenna previously purchased. I have it located in the basement of a ranch style house, not near a window, yet I receive sporting events clear and without breaking up. I do wish the cords were longer.

    Didn't think this antenna would work but it works very well. It's picked up more than two dozen stations, including ones I had a hard time picking up in the NYC tri-state area, like MeTV, Laff and RTV.

    This amplified HDTV antenna was easy to install. I just have the local channels and was frustrated that it was difficult to get the NBC channel. This indoor antenna receives all the digital channels available! I rate this with 5+ stars!!

    Not sure how I feel yet. I haven’t been able to get it connected so that I can pull in local channels. That’s why I bought it. If I don’t get it working, then I will return it.

    The Great Antenna Adventure: A Tale of Channels

    So, I tried out a non-amplified flat antenna, and it was doing okay, but some of the stations were a bit, well, let's say "choppy and blocky." I mean, come on, I just wanted to watch Jeopardy! Then I came across this Best Buy amplified antenna. I mean, it was the cheapest one I could find, so why not, right? And guess what? It gets 23 channels, including the one for my Jeopardy fix. Who would've thought? Oh, and by the way, the location of the antenna is no joke. I moved it just a foot, and bam, the reception changed big time. So, bottom line, the amplifier really does the trick. But hey, your mileage may vary depending on where you are and what TV you've got. Oh, and pro tip: keep an eye out for those open box deals at Best Buy. I mean, who doesn't love a good discount, right? Happy channel surfing, folks!

    This great antenna brings-in sharp digital pictures, I was able to get about 35 stations, from low-power stations to major ones. It even kind of worked when it was briefly lying on the floor, although a bit "pixely"!

    Works well. Only problem is the short, unremovable cord. In NYC we can get most local stations, though sometimes we get a weak signal warning. Your mileage will vary depending on various location factors: high floor, clear views, etc.

    Antenna works well with stations within 30 mi

    For an inexpensive small antena, it worked pretty good. When I purchased it, I did not know it came with a signal amplifier. It did not pick up a couple of the stations only 27 miles from me until I hooked up the amplifier. Then it worked well for all stations in our area. My farthest station is the 27 mile station. I have it inside taped to a window facing in the "general" direction of the majority of the stations. I would recommend if your stations are within 30 miles.

      I’m glad to hear that the Best Buy essentials™ Amplified Ultra-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna with a 50-mile range is working well for you! It’s fantastic that the setup was easy, and it provides reliable reception at an affordable price. Having a backup antenna for when cable or internet are out a smart move.
