    Great reception, blends well. Only downside is the adhesive that comes in the box is not very strong, you may have to use something else to stick it to your window or wall. Still very good value

    Work great for the price. I purchased two and installed in different locations. One antenna picked up 62 channels. Surprisingly the second one which is on installed closer to the exterior of the house, just picked up only half the amount of channels.

    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,

    great for an indoor inexpensive antenna. Have to move it around a bit to get reception and all the channels available. Was able to pick up 37 channels clearly.

    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.

    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.

    Works pretty good in bringing in the major on-air channels, but sometimes there is no sound accompanying the picture. Also, when watching NFL games on some of the channels the sound commentary was only in Spanish.

    For $20, it seems to work well. I just used it in Las Vegas to watch the Super Bowl and Olympics on NBC. Would be nice if cord was longer.

    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.
