    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.

    Garbage

    This is garbage and not worth your money. I bought this a few years ago to replace the rabbit ears I had for 8+ years from Target. I really liked the design of this one, which is the primary reason I was replacing the other one. This has a sleek, thin design as described. Unfortunately, I have attempted to use it in multiple locations (two separate houses and different rooms in each house). It claims to have up to a 35-mile range, which I can't imagine that being true. I don't watch a lot of tv but any time I want to watch a football game or a few specific shows, I have to move the antenna around multiple times to reprogram my channels. It's a miracle if it picks up a basic channel and delivers a clear picture that doesn't constantly cut out. It's really frustrating and disappointing. In comparison to the prior antenna I had, this one is more expensive, has far worse results, and is completely unreliable. I do not recommend it and am searching for the next one.

    Great hack for local stations when you don’t have cable. It is hidden behind the tv on the wall. So you don’t see any wires. This 4k quality is better that streaming. Can’t beat the price.

    This item works great! You have to move it closer to a window for better reception. Sometimes must move antenna around ti pic up other channels. I do not like how antenna bens and stays bent, however it does work.

    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.

    Pretty good for being inexpensive. I just use it in my office for occasional use. Works as expected for about $100. I would want one bigger and sharper for main viewing.

    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

    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.
