    No idea how something so cheaply priced works so well. Once connected, we went from 21 channels to 46 channels in 4k quality.

    I thought for the price and description it would be the best for my money. But l cannot tell it from the cable channels. one side is white and the other side is black and best of all it has 1 plug that plugs directly into the tv. I was so pleased I replaced the old antenna on another TV for this antenna.

    For the price, it works great. We actually get more channels than I was expecting, especially when paired with a Roku TV that adds WiFi channels We got it for watching sports, and have had no signal issues, we do live in the city, not sure how it would perform in a rural area.

    I picked up 47 digital channels with this antenna held up as high as I could reach. Only picked up 22 about 3 ft off the floor at level of TV’s feet. Channels are crystal clear in 78414.

    I have an old JVC CRT TV which gives very good pictures but after cutting the cable I wanted to try this indoor antenna to watch local TV channels. After following the directions provided and connecting to the TV I was not able to get any reception. I will not lay the blame on the product as such because it could be due to other reasons. So I returned the product for a refund!

    Who needs the expense and frustration of cable?

    My cable provider kept raising the price of our subscription and offering an ever narrowing of worthwhile channels so like so many others I knew it was time to cut the cord. I purchased the antenna for I tiny fraction of a single monthly bill and was elated to find about 50 locally transmitted channels free over the air. Many of those channels only show really old reruns of early shows but all the prime networks ( ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and FOX ) are there free of charge. The only downside is that todays digital signals are vulnerable to severe weather so with heavy rain and especially with high winds added the picture comes and goes. Simply mount the antenna in a window or high on an obscure wall. There is enough wire on the instrument to reach the connection on the back of your set.

    Tried it on my main TV and I couldn't get the channels to scan. However, it works perfectly on another TV in the home. The picture is clear as if it was connected by cable, well worth the purchase. Would definitely buy again.

    This antenna has been the item I have been looking for forever. Recently dropped my carrier of many years and found my smart tv wasn’t quite smart enough to get local tv. I was the possibilities at Best Buy. And found this antenna said this looks like what i have looking for. Price is right for an experiment. I got it home plugged in where the satellite was and turned the tv on, oops forgot something (I didn’t take the time to read the instructions). Tv was still in satellite mode. Changed menu to search for local channels short wait bingo local channels on screen. Guess what? After using for a few weeks I’m noticing on rainy days not having so much pixelation like I did with the satellite. It may or may not be the same for you. Cheap Experiment.

    So far so good, although I'm not getting the greatest reception because I have it down in a finished basement, but was surprised that it picks up 22 channels.

    The antenna was relatively inexpensive and it did the job. I did have to place the antenna far from the TV to get reception, but the included cable was long enough to accommodate that.

    Good picture picks up but if you leave the live channels to streaming channels and then switch back things get a little choppy temporarily. Overall though it did the job.
