    The instructions say to connect and then do a manual channel scan but I did not have to do that as it pulled in the local channels already! I did not receive any other channels besides the local channels but that is okay, that is what I needed. I also only placed it on the stand by a window and did not apply to window. Works well. Good quality picture.

    Works well but you really need to consider where towers are in your area. What worked excellent for my area didn't work excellent for my mother-in -laws, and she's 9.7 miles away from me. She has most local channels but missing channel 7 abc in a nyc borough

    It is difficult to review the antenna as I don't have a spare TV to connect it to. It receives all the channels in the area, however I occasionally lose the signal for certain stations. Is it due to the antenna, the antenna placement, the tv, the broadcast antenna? I can't really say as I don't have a reliable way to test the variables. On a good day it does receive all the stations with no problems.

    This antenna seems to be a little bit weaker when it comes to receiving channels then others. I have an Insigna antenna that receives 17 channels compared to this one only receiving 10 on the same team and 32 channels for the Insigna compared to 18 on a second team. On the good side, one side of this antenna is white, it is not all black. I can only get fox on one tv and cbs on the other with either antenna so I ended up keeping it.

    This antenna gave me about 65 digital channels over the air in about 720p looking quality..I got it for my parents so that they could watch local news channels without having to pay for cable and it has worked out great.

    Antenna works really well for the price point. Brings in strong reception on a handful of channels. Mounts easily to drywall using the included push pins with no tools required.

    At home I have bar antennas on my TVs and they work quite well. I purchased this antenna for my sister and installed it yesterday. While it gave access to as many channels as my bar antennas, the device itself is very flimsy and hard to stabilize. It comes with 2 pins to attach it to a wall and 4 two-sided sticky circles. I tried putting it on the wall and got no reception. I tried sticking it to the window and also got no reception because it has to be angled in the direction of the signals and they weren't straight ahead. I tried putting it in the stand and sticking it to the top of the TV but the bottom of the stand isn't flat and there is no good place to attach 2- sided tape or Velcro. I ended up sticking the stand to a desk but it keeps falling over or getting bumped and loosing the precise angle it needs to get all the stations. I'm going to have to go back and find a way to tape it down without damaging the furniture. It works fine when correctly aligned, but is too light and flimsy to stay where it's put when in the stand. It would install better if it had a heavy metal base with a solid bottom that 2-sided tape or Velcro could be attached to. It would work OK without the stand if the wall or window it is attached to is directly lined up with the TV station signal.

    I bought this antenna to replace an old one that wasn’t strong enough for my new TV. This antenna is great for the price. My TV was able to receive and program about 60 over the air channels. I was only concerned about my 2 favorite channels, but pleased with the additional channels I can watch now.

    The small antenna works wonderfully. I wanted a unit that would pick up our local stations to watch broadcasted football without paying for Youtube or Hulu live. This did just the trick!
