    Works better than some others that I've tried but also not the best. Bought based on NY Times review.

    Can't believe we actually get our local channels and it's free! I'm sure no cable company wants us to buy this.

    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 was fairly straightforward to set up and now I have access to all the local tv stations. Well worth the price. I've only used it for a month so I can't speak to durability.

    Other antennas have not worked at our house in the Boulder Valley because we don't have a direct line to the towers but we got good reception with the Best Buy essentials Thin indoor HDTV antenna.

    Nice product, I was able to get a lot of channels with the exception of a few channels. The channels received are based on where you position the antenna.

    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.

    When combined with an external amplifier it does exactly what it needs to do— perfectly. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a fine directional antenna.
