    Great reception at a reasonable price. Nice that it has a white and black side to blend with decor. The cable could be a few feet longer.

    This is surprisingly functional for the fee. I was able to pick up more than 50 channels. It's great for rooms that don't have cable. I even bought one as a gift.

    For an antennae only in this day and age, this works pretty well. Got it for the wife so she can watch her shows on an older pre-Smart TV in the living room. I offered to buy her a new Smart TV, but she wasn't having it. Said she just wanted to watch local channels. So, set this up and it pulls in about 33 channels on this older TV, with all the ones she wants to watch. So she is happy.

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

    Bought this for my semi and I recommend buying a suction cup so you can move it around in the truck. I haven’t used it in the house but I’m sure it would work fine then.
