Good enough in an urban environment.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in a mid-rise apt. building. It does an adequate job of recieving local stations. I have some signals barely coming in, with the lowest signal level shown on my TV. But I can't say it's the fault of the antenna. I'm on the side of a hill and another building are both blocking line-of-sight in a couple of directions to some of the transmitters in my area. If I were in a taller building and if maybe my windows were facing another dircection, I might have better signal strength. Placement is everything with these things.

I would recommend this to a friendBeats paying your cable bill for broadcast channel
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not the best reception, just adequate. More dependent on weather conditions. Sometimes the picture is great and other times there are many interruptions. Still beats paying outrageous cable bill for broadcase channels.

Not a great antenna
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty weak antenna. it does work but it doesn't hold the signal well. You can get a better one from amazon for less money

Good but not strong enough
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked well, could get most channels but was missing the one we needed, returned and got a more powerful antenna
I would recommend this to a friend alternative to ugly rabbit ears
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not quite as good as old fashion rabbit ears but looks better hanging on a wall like a small picture. Would be nice if somebody sold a deep picture frame that this could slide into the back with a slot for cable exit

The jury is out on this one....
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This one isn't working so great for us but it might be because i'm using it with a very old TV. Signal is choppy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Could have worked, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Due to changes in digital broadcasting, this antenna stopped working. Thinking it was faulty, I returned it and bought another. To no avail. We had one for over a year and it worked great until digital broadcasting changed the way it sent out signals. Now I was told that the only way to get local channels is to have one placed on my roof. Wel, that's not happening.
