    Strong antenna - easy to connect to any television set. The white device matches all decors. I able to watch 100 channels. Great value. I highly recommend this 30 mile range capability.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    For the money, I couldn't expect more. The local channels in the area are hard to come even for YouTubeTV. I got two of the four ( Fox and NBC) same as Youtube. My TV is on a wall away from my windows, so I placed the antenna high on wall. My only regret/ suggestion is to have longer cable. Mine is like 6 ft, 20 ft would be better.

    This antenna has been working really well for us. We are in Granby, Connecticut, and we often have trouble with antennas receiving signals because of the deep foliage. We have not had that problem except on incredibly windy days.

    This antenna has an uncommon shape; but it is still useful and convenient. Its cord is long enough to place it on a nearby table or wall. Its 30-mile range is definitely useful. This HDTV antenna cost less than $30.
