    Didn’t pick up 25% of the channels the $20 job I got off Amazon. I went with this because my Other worked great but didn’t get UHF stations like CBS local. Hooked it up and not only did it not get locally UHF, it didn’t pick up near the number of my other antenna.

    Did not work. I live in an apt. in the city and have been using an old wing antenna for years. Thought this would be an improvement. Could only pick up a few stations with worse reception than before. Was able to return to Best Buy. I would suggest trying a different antenna.

    This antenna picks up very few channels. I can't get channel 5 or 11. The representative from Geek Squad told me I am getting the fewest channels of any installation he has made with this antenna.

      Sorry for your bad experience. Please try to install it to window not block by metal material, or concrete wall, put it as high as possible, rotate its directions. BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials
