      We're sorry to hear you're experiencing spotty reception with your Best Buy essentials™ Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna. Indoor antenna reception can sometimes be tricky and affected by several factors, including your distance from broadcast towers, local obstructions like buildings or trees, and even household electronics.

      For better reception, try adjusting the antenna's position, perhaps moving it higher up or closer to a window. You might also want to re-scan for channels on your TV after repositioning. If you continue to have issues, please feel free to reach out to our Best Buy essentials customer support team (1-866-597-8427) for further troubleshooting. BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    Brought this home, hooked up and scanned for channels. In window facing antenna farm I got 0 channels found. Took an old coax 8 foot cable and stripped back 30 inches of insulation leaving just the center conductor and hooked to tv with the stripped end in the same window. Ran the channel search finding 34 channels. Nuff said!

      Hi there, we appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear the antenna didn’t pick up more channels. Reception can vary based on building materials, distance from broadcast towers, and antenna placement. We recommend trying different positions near a window or higher up for better results. Let us know if you'd like help optimizing the setup!
