    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.

    Initially skeptical, but once I set it up, I was pleasantly surprised. Was able to get over 70 channels including all of the main local channels, then additional channels like ion, ion+, etc… I recommend, but may depend on location.

    Decent performance, comparable to a well known brand. No tv antenna is guaranteed to give reception. Local conditions vary quite a bit. However on a side by side comparison, it was very similar to the competitor

    I use this antenna on an extra tv in the bedroom. It receives 35 channels over the air. Color and quality of picture is very good. Antenna is set behind tv as cable is not quite long enough to move to a window due to placement of tv. This does not hurt reception. Very satisfied with pictures and quality.

    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.

    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.

    71 CHANNELS FOR THE GUEST BEDROOM

    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.

    It works. Gave me a ton of channels but the content on over the air channels is pretty much garbage. You’ll find yourself channel surfing more than watching a program. Would highly recommend if you want a ton of over the air channels for a cheap price

    The antenna works great. I live in the city and easily pick up all the local channels and sub channels. I don’t even have it high on a wall or in a window either. Very happy with it.

    Does Its Job Well

    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.

    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.
