    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.

      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. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285 BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    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.

    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.

    It performs okay for the price. Tbh, I had hire expectations for better, less fuzzy reception. I suspect you gotta pay more for that.

    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.

    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.

    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"!

    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!
