I Love the Quality,Size,Look and How many New Channels I get, from this Best Buy Indoor HDTV White Antenna. I have compared this Product to other Brand Name Antenna and I only got 5 to 10 Channels. Best Buy Brand Antenna Give you 20 to 40 Channel, which I had never experienced before and Bonus, the price is Unbelievable as well. That's why I gave it 5 Stars and I would definitely recommend this to Family and Friends so they can get a Reliable Antenna that works and easy to install with no Trick. It Only takes 2 minutes to get it connected to your TV.

at $10, you can't really expect a whole lot going in, but for the price it does a pretty decent job of getting area local channels. That being said, if the station is more than 25 miles or so away, the chances of picking up is about 50/50.
As always, placement is key. Try to place the antenna as high up as you can, and possibly near a window. Try to eliminate as many barriers to the outside as possible. You're definitely not going to get as many possible channels versus an antenna with a dedicated power source and better parts. Again, for $10, its definitely worth its cost if you're looking to pick up local channels and avoid cable or YoutubeTV.

This indoor antenna does a nice job picking up live networks in my area. I am able to pick up local CBS, NBC and ABC stations, as well as PBS and ion, Metv and some other random channels. Great to not have to pay for cable to access live networks. I didn't give it 5 stars because weather can interfere with reception.

Needed an antenna to watch soccer games OTA and this one works perfectly. I live within 15 miles of the tower so no amp is needed, I just hung it up on the wall behind my TV and scanned for channels. The color and design are great, it looks like a boxy picture frame and blends right in with the other artwork I have on my wall. You could probably tape a picture to the front of it and it will blend in nicely.

I replaced some rabbit ears on an old tv with this one and I was able to receive quite a few more channels. It was easy to install as well. A good upgrade!

I was very hesitant about this antenna
When I got it home and plugged it in, I was amazed. It’s simple looking, about the size of an iPad easy set up and amazing picture. Who knew? I was so pleased with it that I went and bought a second one, called Comcast and canceled my subscription. A $40 investment and save myself $900.00 plus a year. That’s more than a round-trip from Denver to Hawaii. What a deal thank your Best Buy.

Way better quality than I would have thought. I was able to eat h the Eagle's playoff games within minimal interference. The sleekness of the antenna made it so I can put it flat down or anywhere else without looking like an eye sore.

Plugged it in and immediately got the local channels with good quality picture on my 75” TV. The quality was a bit positional but it was easy to find a good positions. I basically got it for football only and it will definitely do the trick. For reference, I live square in the middle of one of the biggest cities in the US so may not be globally applicable.

Hi ElliottM! Thank you for your feedback on the Best Buy essentials™ Multidirectional Indoor HDTV Antenna. We’re glad to hear that it works well for you in the city and provides good quality picture on your 75” TV. Your note about the positional quality and its effectiveness for football is very helpful!

Works but nothing special. Brings in same channels as my other cheap indoor antenna. Which means I have to move it for a channel or two. YMMV. Cable is short. While i was able to move it enough to tune in a few problem channels …likely need a barrel(female to female adapter) and another 5’+ length of cable. FYI.

Great for what it is: an inexpensive way to get digital OTA channels.
I definitely need to set mine higher because I am missing a few channels that rabbitears.info indicated I should be getting. But even during rain/stormy weather, the picture still comes through decently well.

This antenna was easy to connect and provides a clear screen for our local channels. Much better than the previous antenna we were using.
