      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

    This antenna works ok but limited range means fewer channels. If used in interior rooms you may need a power booster.

      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!
