    Took Wirecutter's recommendation on buying this cheap antenna, and I couldn't be happier. I live in Uptown NYC and have the antenna situated right against a south-facing window. I'm able to pull in about 60 channels, including all the major networks. Despite using a coaxial coupler and a 20-foot coaxial cable to reach my television, signal strength is solid and picture quality is excellent.

    I live in the city, about 15 miles from the big TV towers and these antennas work well. They work better than a amplified one i bought from another brand. The direction it faces does matter for what channels you wil get (i have 2). Excellent for the price.

    I was doubtful this antenna would work for us but at $20 it seemed worth the gamble. Previously we had a $120 rooftop aerial that provided inconsistent reception and finally, thankfully, blew off during a heavy storm. This wafer-thin antenna, positioned near the ceiling at the correct angle, is definitely superior.

    Brings in all channels to my upstairs television. I suspect that broadcast television transmission has improved over last seventy years. OTH I remember coat hangers bringing in UHF. Sort of. Too bad it is not for outdoor use.

    Works great for me. I live in southwest Fort Worth, so I don't live in a rural area, but it works great in urban areas. It's highly rated in Consumer Reports. It's got a good price.
