    Rated for only 35 miles. Was suppose to be an excellent open box item but was missing one of the mounting stickers. Ended up not using remaining mounting sticker finding alternative mounting since existing not reliable by other reviewers. Mounted on wall where ceiling meets. There is better if you shop around.

    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.

    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.

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 ordered a more expensive antenna online and could not pick up one single channel. I saw decent reviews for this one from Best Buy and decided to give it a try. I am now able to pick up almost 50 channels, including several local news channels. All I had yo do was open the antenna, connect it to the tv, and scan. Works great! (I live in the suburbs of Milwaukee, WI).

    Works surprisingly well. I can now get all the network local digital channels for those times when we want to watch something live. Main gripe is that that the cable is too short at 10'. I had to attach an extension which fortunately I had leftover from my cable modem install.

    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.
