    Works exactly as expected, gives us over the air stations with clarity and without issues. Quick install and loved having the sticky pad to use to mount it easily on the wall or the TV.

    Was originally worried bc I live on the bottom floor Apartment and the closest way to the outside was my front door however i have a patio but most of my patio roof is still apart of the upstairs apartment's floor. So i was afraid id have reception issues with my placement. Those worries were dispelled as it worked great! Very simple to set up, literal 'plug and play'

    Wow, we're impressed. Our home is roughly 20 miles from the nearest tower (as the crow flies) and reception is pretty, pretty, pretty good! We receive lots of channels, in many cases with a clearer picture than the Roku. We knocked off one star because the antenna sometimes needs to be moved and/or unplugged/replugged to get going. But when it's good, it's GOOD.

    This antenna is very simple but is all you need. We were hoping for just a few local channels for football games and it was able to scan over 100!

    It works. Gave me a ton of channels but the content on over the air channels is pretty much garbage. You’ll find yourself channel surfing more than watching a program. Would highly recommend if you want a ton of over the air channels for a cheap price

    I cut the cable cord but missed having local stations and news. I was frustrated with trying to stream local stations. I can't believe how easy this was to install and how well it works indoors, in an apartment complex. The stickers don't seem to stick well to the wall, however, it fell off a few times, so I just got some Command strips to use.

    I purchased this Dec 29, 2023. I used this with a regular TV. Simple to install and scan. If you use this with a regular TV , the channels with be right there as soon as you turn your TV on. I only got two of the three major network channels. I can get 16 channels. I do have a older roku, but when using LIVE TV on the Roku these channels do not appear. The channels I do get are nice and clear. Hope this helps #cordcutters

    So far (even with very limited use) this antenna was an excellent choice for us. We purchased it so that when our internet is down we can still access local channels for news, etc. My husband & I are not tech savvy; yet this was extremely easy to set up on our non-smart TV--and we receive excellent reception of many local area channels--far more than we anticipated. And, the price was great!

    Works like a charm. Easy set up - received more OTA channels than I was expecting. Saving a ton of money by no longer having a cable subscription - get all my local channels using this antenna; use a streaming service for the rest of my tv/movie needs. And the price is right! Should have done this years ago but....

    Decent performance, comparable to a well known brand. No tv antenna is guaranteed to give reception. Local conditions vary quite a bit. However on a side by side comparison, it was very similar to the competitor

    This antenna works so surprisingly Well! I have it hooked up to my Sony tv, and I live with a lot of tall trees around, and I pick up every channel I ever did when I had Xfinity! For some reason it works better than the antenna that is made for a 50 mile radius. I couldn’t have a more Clear picture on my tv, and I’m so Happy to be saving the money I am by having this antenna!! I Highly recommend this antenna!!
