    Picks up every channel in the Twin Cities metro. We haven't even had to move it around to get better reception like other antennas. Well worth the price.

    It does the job of getting local channels. It goes up to 50ish channels. Install next to window for better results.

    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

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

    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.

    I've been pleasantly surprised in how well this antenna picks up our OTA content here in the area. I did not expect it to perform so well considering the placement of it, but it has stood up to sub-optimal placement with clarity and consistency.

    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
