    did not work well for me; ended up returning it. signals broke up periodically on every channel i tried. i think my situation is a little challenging - closest window faces north and all transmitters are south east. bought a pricier antenna - breaks up but rarely.

      Hi, Suggest to install it as high as possible, not block by metal or concrete wall, rotate its direction. BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    I believe it missed CBS but it seems to have picked up most other channels.

    I was a little disappointed in the channels that were avaliable. I don't necessarily think it is a problem with the antenna, but rather we just can't pick up many channels from our location. I was going to have the basic local channels, but could not find them. We moved the antenna to different locations and were able to get more channels. Around 20, but still no local ones like NBC, CBS, ABC, or Fox.

    Unfortunately this just didn’t work for us. We had to go the with the old-fashioned bunny ears because those are more reliable

    Not as good as a clothes hanger

    I bought this for use on Long Island to replace the ugly clothes hanger wrapped in aluminum foil I was using in the kitchen for the countertop TV. The clothes hanger worked better so I returned it and now use a cable splitter with 2 paperclips inserted in it instead. In fairness I'm about 38 miles from NYC and this is a 35 mile range antenna. Why paperclips and a wire hanger work better than a $20 antenna I don't know.

    A true bargain buy. I got far more channels and local channels than I expected. This product far exceeded my expectations and I totally recommend it.

    Gets the job done better than more expensive options with powered signal amplifier! Don't bother with the pricer options. Just buy this.

    It is a simple installation and set-up. I especially like that the cable is included and is more flexible than most coaxial cables.

    Pretty normal. We purchased it for our main living space. Only downfall is sometimes it doesn't transmit correctly. It might be my house though

    It works good and is not as expensive as other similar ones the sticky tape included is not the best but you can fix it using other stronger double sided tape.

    Works well if your stations aren't too far away. I received 18 channels until my apartment management made me take it off my window. Metal siding on building, blocks segnal.

    This amplified antenna is much better than the lower/basic one. Spend the extra few dollars and purchase this one. Much better signal strength.

    Good product. Some times you might have to move to get a better signal but worth the price and better then what you would pay for cable.
