      Hi Vickster, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the antenna stopped working after a good start. Signal strength can sometimes change due to interference or placement. Try repositioning it near a window or higher up, and if that doesn’t help, our support team would be happy to assist further.

    Can’t tell if it’s the product or just poor reception in the area where the TV antenna was installed.

    My apartment faces north and I have struggled to get good antenna reception for years. I hoped this product would be an improvement but it is not. Frankly, I bought this for the promo free month of FuboTV, but was unable to redeem because I have had a free trial in the past. Three months of AppleTV saved me almost as much as this antenna cost, but I can't extoll the virtue if it didn't get me reception

    It works, and it’s unobtrusive. If you want free hdtv channels, get one.

    The antenna itself is nice it works but it doesnt screw all the way in and the sticky tape doesnt stick to the wall like it should. I would give it a 7....

    Not powerful enough for my location. Although it was highly reviewed online and recommended, it didn’t work at all. But it may work for others

    It gets most of the job done. It was cheap. I still have reception issues while watching, If you don't want to spend much it's okay. That's why i recommended it.

    Just okay. I did not get anymore channels after scanning. I needed a new antenna because my puppy chewed up the old one. I was hoping for more channels.
