This antenna may seem flimsy but it does a great job of picking up the local broadcast channels. It is well worth the $20 price tag. It came with a couple of double sided tape pieces but it was thin enough to just wedge into the weather stripping of a window.

This has been a excellent product if you are within a 35 mile radius. The reception is excellent and is very easy to set up. I really got my money's worth! I have had it for a little over a month so my next thoughts are on the longevity of the product.

Great value for the money, now able to get over 45 completely free channels to watch 24/7 that I did not have access to before. All I had to do was plug it into my TV and hang it up on a wall. Could not have been easier...my dog could have installed this! No interference issues, works like a charm!

I love this thing!
Cut the cable and now I have all my local channels and more
Picture is crystal clear
I live in Mid City with a direct line to Mt Wilson so we've always gotten good reception
I also mounted my antenna in the attic and I am using a splitter to run it to two TVs

This antenna is exactly what I needed. We are in the metro area and pull in 68 channels. So glad I don't have the extra monthly expense for cable, which I don't watch enough to make it worth it. Easy to install, just connect to antenna port, and then scan channels on SMART TV.

Rated for only 35 miles. Was suppose to be an excellent open box item but was missing one of the mounting stickers. Ended up not using remaining mounting sticker finding alternative mounting since existing not reliable by other reviewers. Mounted on wall where ceiling meets. There is better if you shop around.

I wasn't expecting to get so many channels in a room without a window, but I got at least 45 channels using this Best Buy brand indoor antenna.
I would recommend it to anyone. It's a great value at a great price.

Hi AnnaG, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the antenna exceeded your expectations—especially in a room without a window. Getting 45+ channels in that setup is impressive, and we’re glad it delivered both performance and value. Your recommendation means a lot to us! Patricia | BestBuy Essential Support

I live right outside of Chicago in a south suburb and I was debating between this or the amplified antenna - I decided to go with this one and I was surprised that it worked very well! I was able to pick up all of the local HD channels and more! There was no need for the amplified version for me. I would definitely recommend this.

Amazing that after some trials on positioning of the antenna I can get live local channels in HD for free! This is amazing, because it’s the local live channels that drives the price up for HULU, YouTube, etc. With the antenna, NBC, CBS and PBS come in dependably, but FOX and ABC not so much. For around $20 this is one of the least expensive antenna on the market and well worth the price. Four stars because the unit is fragile and the surface flakes easily. I recommend this unit as the true cable cutter for local TV broadcasts.

Great antenna and the price rocks. This antenna found more digital channels in my area then the more expensive brands out there. Others found between 30-50. This one found 125. So clear ans Great sound also.

Needed an antenna that i could hide behind my television but still had great reception and so far this has worked great. This is being used inside a concrete block home with filled walls and is about 10-12 feet from the nearest window and is working great.

The best antena. I now get channels I wasn’t able to before with more expensive antennas. I places this bad boy 7 ft up an internal wall and it works beautifully. This comes with 3M foam stickers to attach it to your wall so no need to tape or nail it up.

Easy installation. Even in a less-than-ideal location -- directly behind the TV -- it picks up more than 60 stations. Of those, 40 are not home shopping channels or stations devoted entirely to infomercials.
