    I decided to ditch cable last month. At $240/mth, I was done. Now I stream on all my smart tvs but the Insignia I have in my office is not a smart tv so for some basic background visual I got this item. Problem solved.

    The only difficulty I had with setting it up was taking the film off. I put the sticky tabs on it with the film still on but the tabs didn’t stick for long. After removing the film the tabs are still sticking.

    It took me a little while to understand the (minimal) directions that came with the antenna, but once I "got it" the antenna worked well.

    It works well in certain area. Every time you move it to a different position, you lose some of the channels.

    You get what you pay for it does the job. It’s very basic I have one with a signal booster and it is better. But it’s average.

    Very flimsy. It had a thin film over it, not sure if it is to be removed. Half off. Seems like we were not to remove it. Ugly but it works, ok.

      Hi, Both sides have thin transparent films to protect the surface, they don't impact the performance, and can be removed. BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    All my local channels come in, so this was definitely a great buy. You can hang it with the adhesive stickers it comes with, but I just lay it on the tv stand.
