    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.

    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!

We're thrilled that the product worked well for you and provided excellent value for the price. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Enjoy your newfound freedom from cable!

    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.

      Hi PaulG,

      Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that the Best Buy essentials™ Indoor HDTV Antenna exceeded your expectations. Getting 71 clear channels from 40 miles out is seriously impressive.

      It’s great to know you picked up three of them after cutting off your cable service—sounds like you’re making the most of your setup. We’re glad we could help make the transition from cable smooth and affordable. -Ed | Best Buy Essentials Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285 BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    I finally did it. I cut the cord and it feels good. I've spent way to many years paying a cable company. I bought the Best Buy essentials - Thin Film Indoor HDTV Antenna - Black/White. The dual color helps blend it in the the room. The cord running from the antenna to the TV is white. Connected one end of the cable to the back of the TV and ran the auto set channel. Very simple.

    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.

    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 was leery of getting this low end antenna, but I thought at thirteen bucks I didn't have much to loose. To my pleasant surprise, I was suddenly able to get all my regular digital channels that I hadn't been able to for years due to so much neighborhood signal interference. I didn't even mount it on the wall, but propped it on top of the entertainment center. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
