    Cable Bill Savings Mission

    Trying these antennas out in my home to reduce my cable bill for channels I don't need or use. I just want to be able to see local news for the most part, but am happy I can see a movie or TV show I enjoy a lot of the time also with all of the channels I can get. Sometimes the reception goes in and out and that varies in the rooms I have them setup, but overall, I'm happy with the purchase of these antennas.

    Doesn’t work great, says it’s an indoor antenna but doesn’t really work unless it has a clear brief of the window.

    Gift for a family with fancy TV but no cable or internet. Worked like a charm to get the standard channels - NBC, ABC, PBS, etc. Strangely, no CBS, but no big deal.

    Awesome antennae. I have it set up on the wall behind my tv with no issues. I live in a biggish city and have the antennae on a wall close to a window so I haven’t had any issues getting reception or a bad feed.

    This is very effective antenna for the price. It does not require an electrical plug-in, which gives it more flexibility for placement, and it even works without being on the window. Some channels are spotty or missing, but that may be related to my location rather than the antenna itself, not sure. It works fine for my purposes.

    I updated due to a move and my old antennas weren’t giving me channel 9. I still can not get channel 9 and I live within 15 - 30 miles of three towers. I kept them didn’t return.
