This device is easy to install with the included 2 sided tape. I taped it as high as possible to my vaulted ceiling. After searching for stations with my Roku TV, the antenna detected 24 stations. This antenna is installed in Blaine Wa near Canadian border and I am getting a couple of stations as far as Seattle, I know I did not believe it. Best purchase in a while.

It does a very good job for my LLano Springs area. You do have to do the broadcasting set up, but that is easy. You will have to find the best place to hang it and the best direction to aim it, but it is easy. It's a good money saver. I use it with Roku to have plenty of options on what to view.

Nowadays, everyone is cutting the cord and switching to streaming services, like everyone else, I have list of all popular streaming services loaded on all my smart TVs.
The piece I missed is local news, I bought this antenna mostly want to view some local channels. I saw some bad 1-2 star reviews on this devices, so my original expectation is, as long as I can have 5-6 channels with some local news, I am happy.
Guess what? I tested this one on one of my 2022 TVs and a 2019 720p, the new one can easily gets me 81 channels without any adjustments, and the older TV (probably have a old tunner) can easily give me 61 channels without any adjustments. All digital channels are actually high quality with super crystal image.
So I am very happy with this purchase, it's really some life essential device best buy offered.
Not sure how long the quality can last, I will come back to update later.

The Best Buy essentials Amplified Ultra-Thin Film Indoor HDTV Antenna was perfect for my application. It doesn't take up a lot of room. You can stick it to a wall or window or place it on the included stand, which is how I use it. It pulls in all the local TV stations I was expecting and was on sale at a great price.

Good antenna and very easy to use. Can be white or black just by turning over. Not omni-directional and works best when on or near a window facing the general direction of the city towers you're shooting for. Probably maxes out at 20-30 miles depending on you individual conditions and line of site. More stations the closer you are.

This indoor antenna allowed me to get rid of cable TV. It gets all of my local channels and a few from NY and Canada.
My only complaint is that there is some interference when it is very windy. I don't loose the picture, but the sound cuts out. Thankfully that is not often an issue here.
It was really easy to set up. The reception is very good and clear, even though there are hills and trees between my location and the broadcast antennas.

Works great! I get up to 120 miles away with my indoor antenna with a booster. We are in a bad area lots of hills and mountains to block the receivers. Every once in a while I have to re-load the channels. I get up to 92 channels on a good day.

Bought this to watch the World Series, as we only do streaming. Fairly impressed with how well it works, we ended up receiving 48 OTA channels. We are in the city, so I don't know how this would do in a rural setting. For the price it's working great. In case it's not clear, this thing is thin, like the thickness of a plastic placemat, I was expecting it to be a hard plastic. We found a place to mount it and it works great.

Form factor and size are winners for this antenna. The included amplifier helps a lot to bring in those fringe signals. This works best if you are relatively close to the TV transmitter sites and if those sites are in the same general direction. In urban areas this antenna works very well. In rural settings it is more of a challenge since transmitter sites are further away and often in many different directions.

Really easy to hook up and was able to get more channels than I originally had. I've also noticed the picture quality is slight better too. I don't even have any more signal lost from this upgraded antenna.

This indoor antenna is better than my working rabbit ears. It is rated for a 50 mile radius and that is what is making the difference. I get good reception from an additional 10 channels than my previous rabbit ears do not pull in my area. I like the table top stand as well. Do not have to mount on a wall.

Easy to set up but very directionally sensitive (as are all antennas). Surprisingly, I received more OTA channels from this than a small outdoor antenna mounted to the outside of my house. The cable was a bit short for my needs but I was able to use a 9 foot length of rg6 cable I had lying around without any degradation of signal. Don't know what the future availability of this antenna will be as I think this labelled as a closeout item.

Simple install. Getting 15 channels for free of HD tv signal. Very nice picture on my TV. Hoped for more channels but it’s related to your distance from the broadcasting station.

The cable line was cut at our home and to Best Buy I went. They pointed this This item out to me which had a range of 90 miles. Hooked that baby up and we were able to watch our local stations and more in great quality and in HD with a good picture and I just had it set up on an end table, inside the house! Worth the money!

This was a great choice . I had many antennas to choose from. This antenna was very easy to install.The directions were very easy to follow. There were even options for a wall mount that was included, or table top. The color black made it so nice to tuck away behind the tv as well. Once installed, no time at all I was watch all my favorite channels without a fuzzy picture. I would definitely recommend this product.

Works surprisingly well. Added to a TV in a mountain home which doesn't have cable service so I could pick up local channels. It only picks up three channels (due to the mountainous topography), but they come in crystal clear.
