    This antenna is a great value for the cost. It was easy to install and I get great reception. I am able to get a lot of channels (unexpected) and it seems to have a great range to pick these channels up. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for "free" tv!!!

    I love this little antenna it’s thin weightless and it’s black. It fits anywhere you can hang it flat against a wall or slide it between a thin space and most of all it works I’ve bought 2 of these antennas and had my sister buy some more once she sas how cute they are and how they work good. I watch all my live channels thanks to this sleek antenna. Get yourself one if you need and they are affordable like 15 dollars take away or put 2 more dollars with taxes and all but yea get yourself this antenna.

    This is a great non-powered indoor TV antenna. It's easy to setup. The price is reasonable. Unfortunately, because I live behind a ridge and under trees from the direction of the TV towers, it wont work for me. If you can get TV broadcast signals, this is the one to try.

    This antenna was very surprising to me. This is the first one I have used in years and was so surprised how easy it was to hook up and more amazed at how many channels I got. I counted it got me almost 70 total local and other channels and all were very clear. Great buy for less than 20 bucks.

    This indoor HDTV antenna works fantastic. We get great picture clarity on our television, it's light, installs easily and was very affordable. The value of this antenna is well worth it! Especially since our family is trying to keep entertainment costs down. We are able to get local news which is helpful with severe weather and staying in the loop locally. This is the perfect item for those cableTV cord cutting and trying to retain their local channels.

    i just cut the cord on my cable - full streaming ahead and this allows me to get my local channels at no cost. for me it works well enough to watch nfl football games golf and other sporting events and local news & the big bang theory. picks up all my top local channels abc nbc cbs fox cw i think in total it was over 50 channels but some i will not watch due to the quality of the video in standard definition.

    Effective Thin Indoor TV Antenna

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    A very effective and thin indoor antenna so it doesn't need a lot of space and pick up a lot of stations. I highly recommend for anyone with/without a smart TV who does not have cable TV. I stopped my cable subscription and I am using this antenna on a smart TV. I am very happy with the results.

    As many clear channels as we get with a Mohu Leaf

    We connected it to our 2015 Samsung that used to be hooked up to a Mohu Leaf 30 (we moved the Mohu to a downstairs tv located in the center of the house). We hung the Best Buy antenna out of sight behind the tv on a wall that is perpendicular to an exterior wall that has a window about five feet away. As soon as we connected the coaxial cable the tv picked up the same stations as the Mohu automatically without even running a scan first. All for about half the price of the Leaf. Unlike the Leaf, there are no pre-cut holes for push pins and I didn't want to use the included self-adhering foam squares because we have had issues with those in the past. Instead we just used scotch tape folded over on itself to make two small tabs at the top of the antenna for the push pins. That has held it in place just fine,

    So far, so good. Picks up a good number of channels. Easy to install and setup. Comes with "stickers" for placement on the wall if needed. It's making it easier to watch sports without paying for a streaming subscription or cable. We live in the city, so we don't need a strong antennae. I'm not sure how this would perform if you are in more rural areas further away from main towers

    Works pretty well in a second floor apartment, getting all four main broadcast stations. Some disruption of one weaker station during bad weather. Worth trying at a reasonable price.

    This is a good product. The antenna has two sides, one black and one white, that gives you a chance to place it so that it doesn't look so bad on your wall or wherever. The cable is pretty long. We get a bunch of over the air channels with this, and they usually work okay. The only downside is that some of the channels momentarily lose signal when a big rig trailer truck passes by on the road.
