    Excellent reception. In the past, when on antenna, pixels would jumble at the slightest breeze in the trees. This is as clear as cable tv. Sometimes I think we’re streaming, when we’re over the air!

    Does exactly what I need it to do, at a great price. The packaging is the antenna itself confused me a bit- I didn’t know, and still don’t to be honest, if I needed to peel the plastic off of the antenna. I did and it’s working fine but I was confused about it. Otherwise it’s solid.

    Excellent value. Gets me reasonable reception for all of my local channels and then some. Only downside is that I live in a pretty densely populated area and I still get some drop out for my local NBC channel.

    Good Antenna For The Price

    I didn't expect much from this antenna since I have always had poor success with OTA reception. However, I was pleased that I was able to get two major national networks so that I can watch some live sports. This required hanging the antenna on the porch window, however and so I needed another piece of coax and a coupler because the included 10 foot cable wasn't long enough. I am pleased with the result considering how inexpensive it is. The promo offers are a nice bonus. 30 days of free fubo will allow me plenty of sports viewing between now and the Super Bowl. Three free months of AppleTV+ is also nice, although Apple makes redeeming the offer a pita, no fault of Best Buy.

    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!!!!

    This is the fourth digital HDTV antenna we have purchased over the past several years and this one is by far, the best one we have. We have it in a second floor bedroom in a large city and get dozens of channels, crystal clear and for no cost other than the antenna.

    The only time I really watch cable is during football season. I think this thing works great I got rid of my cable and now I have this. It rests behind my TV and on Sundays and Mondays I just bring it out put it in the window and enjoy my football games in beautiful high def. This picture is 100% on par with high definition cable television. It looks great on my 4K OLED
