    Reception is iffy, but that could be more on location and direction than anything. I bought two of these and one is great while the other is unusable.

    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

    It is very easy to install. After some minutes following instructions on the screen, it found many digital channels. Then only down it has is that it doesn’t stay sticked on the window glass, but this has to do with the stickers. I have tried many times and it keeps falling. Anyways it catches the signal and the image on the TV is perfect. The only down it has doesn’t stick on the window glass

    It works well on most channels its able to pick up. It will even bring in channels I've never heard of before. I seems to be difficult to set up, where to permanently set up where to put the antenna in the house. When you move the antenna you have to rescan it, to see how many channels it will pick up, from that location. Its alright to use if you have no other sources to watch TV from. I would recommend this product, if you have no other way, to bring in local television.

    Great for regular TV channels. Depending on where you reside it’s like any other Antenna, it has it’s ups and downs but it’s good quality so far.

    It was easy and convenient to install, makes it really easy to connect to “regular” tv programming. Which was important in order for my mother to watch her favorite shows.

    FREE TV channels via Indoor Antenna

    I cut the expensive cable cord and bought 2 Fire TV Sticks and love the new programming options. However, I also wanted to get more local channels and thought I'd try an indoor antenna. I purchased 2 Thin Film Indoor HDTV Antennas and merely plugged them into the TVs and hung them on the wall. I scanned and now get over 50 local channels including all the major networks along with other great additions. The channels are clear and I really enjoy great programming. Don't miss cable at all.

    Do not buy this! I live in San Antonio and live 17 miles from my favorite news station, KSAT 12, and this antenna can not pick up the station. It claims to pick up within a 35-mile range, but it can't even pick up WOAI 4, which is a mere 11 miles away. I've moved the antenna all over the wall, left the coil coiled up, uncoiled it (which made it worse, and even tightened the coaxial cable, and nothing worked. Please dont waste your money. Thank god, I bought it in like-new condition and didn't pay the full price.
