    It is a simple antenna but honestly, works great. Easy to setup, connect to a raspberry pi, you have a homemade DVR!

    It's a digital antenna. It works but it does not get all of the channels I expected. I bought this to replace an older version of digital antennas and expected better results but it was the same.

    I have bought many different antennas, some cheap and some upper midrange price. Some that requires power. There is no noticeable difference in the station pick ups nor pictures, so this is a decent antenna with just one cable to connect and no power require

    I am within 15-20 miles of the major city broadcasts. It generally works great and I get about 50 channels for free. I do notice that a few channels drop out when it is raining hard, etc. but otherwise I have been very happy with it.

    Best Buy essentials Thin Film Indoor HDTV Antenna is a great value and does everything the more expensive brands do! I would recommend the Best Buy antenna over those costing twice as much. I easily pick up all the local stations and have in mounted to the back of the HDTV.

    The antenna is easy to install. I had to put it on a smart TV when I had no Internet for four days. Different days would yield different channels depending on what it could pick up.

    This is a very basic HD antenna. It has no booster or injector. It works when you have it aimed at a clear window. It has difficulty when it faces concrete. It comes with 3 pieces of double stick tape to stick it to the wall.

    This antenna was fine, easy to set up, and well designed, and I am sure it would work in many locations, but in my small town it just wasnt powerful enough to pull in any signal at all. So I will have to upgrade to a more powerful unit.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
