    I had no idea TV antennas were still around. We haven’t had broadcast TV for years now because our cable company charges an arm and a leg, especially when the “broadcast fee” is included. I was reading an article on CNN talking about HD antennas. I bought the Best Buy antenna because it was the top rated antenna on the review, and it was also the cheapest at $19.99. It turned out to be absolutely amazing! I now have HD TV for $19.99. Maybe I got lucky because we don’t have much signal interference at our house. But at least for me, this antenna works like a dream! I am shocked at how good the quality is.

    After scanning first time in my first wanted location. I was able to get 3 out of 4 local major TV stations. Scanned again moving arena to side of my wanted location( same 3/4). Moved it 16 feet to window. Scanned again 4th station came on and off on and off. After several scans and moving back to first location, we decided 3 out 4 is better than paying for cable monthly.

    Purchased to replace a 10 year old powered assisted VHF/UHF antenna. Easy set up and fits well tucked inside the window frame. Have not experienced pixel drop off like the old one. Fair Price

    I'm about 26 miles from the broadcast antennas, and fortunately my house is oriented such that a window mounting points the antenna within 2 degrees of them. The result is I'm getting every channel perfectly!

    The antenna works good, but you need to stick it to the wall so it could work better if you have smooth wall it would stick, but if you have course wall like me it won't stick.

    This antenna works very well and has adhesive to stick on the back of your TV. All I had to do was go to my TV settings and add channels once I connected the antenna
