I love this antenna. Easy to install, gives you lots of extra channels, long connection cord so that you can keep out of reach for small kids and pets
I would recommend this to a friend

This purchase was so good I bought a total of 3 of them as I cut my cable off. I live 40 miles north of Denver and I was able to get 71 clear channels. I was shocked. It is not expensive either.

This worked great for picking up stations 15 miles away and was easy to install. I'm sure 15 miles isn't the limit, that's just how far away the local stations are from my home.

HAD PURCHASED AN HDTV ANTENNA WHEN THEY FIRST TRANSITIONED AND RETURNED IT. NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AND WANTED "LIVE" CHANNELS AND BOUGHT THIS. HD RECEPTION ALL DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE. I ONLY GET 1 SOLID GOOD CHANNEL AND A FEW THAT ARE AVERAGE. FOR THE PRICE, I GUESS IT'S WORTH IT TO HAVE 1 MAJOR CHANNEL AVAILABLE.

Pleasantly surprised by this antenna. Easy to set up and I get more channels than expected. I do have to adjust it from time to time so attaching to the wall is not an option.

This works but you have to mount it high near a window. You also have to have open skies around your home. If there are wood your channel sections are limited. With this antenna revive 30 or more channels. Unfortunately our local channel NBC 12 comes and goes.

We’re getting all the channels all the time! We don’t spend evening trying to figure out which channel will come in, we won’t miss episodes anymore. And it’s not in the way.

I like it. It's easy to set up and it's nice getting some basic channels for $20 down, no monthly bills. Just make sure you set it up high and as close towards the direction of a TV studio/satellite as possible.

It still pixelate a lot and loses signal. I’d say it works about 80% of the time for the price. It’s a good deal.

I'm looking to "cut the cord," but still want the local channels. I found an article suggesting this item as the "top antenna value," and thought that for $20, I could give it a try.
I connected it to my TCL TV, in about 3 minutes, and was pretty darn impressed! I have it near a wall, in a second floor room, and it provides a clear picture for 40+ channels in my area. It was a pleasant surprise, for sure!

It works! I bought it for the guest room where there is no cable outlet. It probably took me over an hour to rescan the channels and find a good spot where to stick the antenna. I decided right next to the window was the best spot. I got at the most 71 channels - not all were English channels, but getting this much is not bad at all. We live in the north suburbs of Houston.

So far the antenna is bringing in about 34 stations. We mostly watch hulu, Netflix or Prime so, the over the air channels are suffecient. We did add a coax extension for more position options.

It does what i need it to. There is some pausing/interruption in the signal pretty regularly, but the picture good when the signal is.
