    East setup. Sleek design. But channels come in scrambled. We have it placed at the top of our 10 foot ceilings. Bad signal Probably due to trees in our backyard. If you have no obstruction might work better

    Purchased this antenna to go with a new Roku TV. Easy set up. Detected more channels than expected. I live in a metro area so I can not speak to the range.

    I am glad I purchased for the local stations in my area but the only problem I have is keeping it up on the wall because the adhesive strips does not support the pad, so I had to purchase some commando pads. Overall it's a good product to purchase but need a good quality adhesive.

    My non-cable (free) TV reception improved with this device. Previously I had a good pair of "rabbit ears" but this antenna worked much better. I even got some stations that I could not receive with the rabbit ears.

    Seems to work OK across town (7 miles, maybe) from the TV antenna farms. Curiously, there is what looks to be a plastic backing that one might thing would peel away, but it didn't seem to want to come off. The included 3M stick blocks work well.

    Very Economical and easy to install. Has quality Channel Picture. Works as good as a Higher End Antenna at a very Reasonable price. Very good value. We would recommend this Antenna to Everyone. Especially because of Price. With all of the Higher costs of mostServices this is a “Diamond in the Rough”, because of cost.

    Struggles to pick up ABC and some lesser channels, at least in my area. Though, the channels it does pick up (NBC, FOX, CBS, etc.) look great.

    It’s high quality when it gets the channels you need. I will say if you don’t have windows facing the closest tower, this may not work as well for you especially in apartment buildings.

    I connected this to my insignia tv. It was easy to program the tv, to get the over the airwaves channels. I still have a problem getting channel 6, same as the old antenna. I’ve placed it as close to the window my cats will allow without messing with it.

    This antenna does the job well, in a world of so many streaming apps I refuse to pay for cable and I really only watch local stations for news and such. So the antenna works perfectly for me.

    The best of all Antennas... One side is white, the other is black. Remember to scan every month so that new channels are added or picks up signals. My first purchase was on 12/22 and I am buying the 3rd one today. I LOVE IT!!!!
