    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.

    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.

    I live near the Network TV broadcast antenna's, say about 30miles away. I prefer watching my NFL via off air antenna vs streaming. (i cant stand the delay and buffering) With this antenna, (indoors - in my bedroom), I was able to scan 86 local channels. When I use my outdoor TERK TV50 Anteanna, i get total of 116 channels. I decided to use this Film indoor HDTV antenna so I dont have to deal with the wiring. So Far - it works great and I have no regrets. I Like it!

    Works well, the reception that I receive is crystal clear, better than cable picture. It mounts with double back tape in which you may need more tape than they provide for secure mounting.

    This antenna gets all the channels I would expect, plus a bunch of bonus channels that I rarely watch but it’s nice to have options. I had some questions before I purchased so I will answer them here for others. It does not need to be installed on or near a window, it gets great reception placed on an interior wall. It is double sided and it does not matter which side faces out you get to choose black or white side showing. Great antenna for a small price tag, you can’t beat it.

    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

    This antenna does work, that being said it cuts out here and there. That could be due to my location but I don’t know for sure. Quality product for the price point, worth a shot if you don’t want to spend too much and have the luxury of watching what’s available on tv without scrolling for something to watch because you can’t choose.
