    Works great. I have a much better more expensive antenna on our main TV. I purchased this one for a small TV in the bedroom. I only purchased this to get ME TV at night. I was amazed. This thing gets more channels than the more expensive antenna in the living room.

    Beware. At first this highly rated antenna by the NY Times worked. It pulled in all the channels I wanted and seemed solid. Days later, channels pixelated and faded away from viewing. Rescanning often brought them back but only temporarily. Moving the antenna only made it worse, so in the end I returned it.

    Just bought this flat tv antenna today hooked it up and immediately I got the extra channels that are broadcast in my area where I live at. But before I bought this one I had bought two other antennas and they did work well but I had to keep moving them and rescan the channels. The flat antenna I put in one place and it keeps the channels glad I bought this one.

    Verizon was getting too expensive, so I decided to '''cut the cord" and try using an indoor antenna. The ones that got the best ratings on Consumer Reports were NOT carried by Best Buy; then I saw a review in the NYTimes that gave this antenna a good rating, esp. for its price point. However, despite the efforts of a Best Buy installer, the antenna could not get more than 2-3 stations clearly.e HDMI cord that comes with the antenna is only 10 feet, so I bought a longer HDMI cord only to find out you can't "uncouple" that cord than comes with this antenna; another connector is needed. I didn't know that and the tech who was to install the antenna never responded to my queries in advance of his visit. I suggest you open the box before you buy so you'll know what you're getting/what you'll need. Sadly, I wound up returning the antenna. The antenna is thin, as promised, and feels as if it would easily break. Can't fairly answer the next set of questions.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
