Not good.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although it's a good alternative to cable, the placement to get a CLEAR signal, was NOT doable!

Best Buy HDTV Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna picks up very few channels. I can't get channel 5 or 11.
