    I got this to receive my local on air tv stations. I plugged it into the antenna jack and did an over the air channel scan. Wowee! When it got done scanning I had a boatload of channels I’d never seen before. I live in the Quad City area (Iowa/Illinois) on the Mississippi River. You might not get the results I did but for me it was a win-win.

    so lightweight! i would NOT recommend using the enclosed stickers to mount the antenna, use stickers that can peel off without damaging walls or antenna. mounting antenna not necessary to work. can "display" antenna using black or white side to complement decor! wire is long enough to use in one room, however i would need an extension to use in another room where i have to move the antenna around to find a signal especially in high wind/stormy days when signal is lost.

    This was thin and stylish, and the cord was long enough to put anywhere. Sadly, it didn't pick up the signal I wanted it to, despite my living in the city. Then again, I live in a newly renovated apartment with well insulated walls, so I am not going to put the blame completely on this antenna.

    Very surprised ! First go online to check how many free TV towers are in your area and then purchase accordingly . You may need an amplified one to reach further ! Where you live also plays a part , trees , valleys , etc . I had 34 clear HD channels ! Nearly bought the more expensive brand , but , since I had pretty good conditions , I gave this one a try and I'm glad I did . Tip , be sure and scan for air channels during set up !

    Bought this to go with a 32” tv which was bought for an elderly friend. She is able to receive 19 channels with this antennae and likes it because it is thin and small.

    For the price and the range of reception, it is an ok alternative to paying for cable services. Brings in a lot of random channels in addition to basic network channels. Lots of foreign language and reruns of older tv shows and old movies…literally brings me back to the days of pre-cable TV I grew up on.

    I really like this slim antenna. It's black on one side and white on the other. But of the 3 major networks, it picks up 2. All in all, it works really well.

    I bought this antenna three times over a year

    It works as expected. This is the 3rd one that I have bought. Either side (black or white) can face outside of the the wall. The very long coax cable is useful for custom fitting the antenna on the wall to a specific place/position. The built in wall stickers come with the antenna. I do not use them (and this is just my personal preference). Instead, I attach the antenna to the wall using clear plastic tape. Because, I decided to buy the antenna three times over about a year of time (for three different TVs in my house), I can say confidently that I like the antenna.
