    Bought this to replace my cable box, Checked the FCC website which shows signal strength, and all seemed well. Once I connected this to my TV the signal on most channels was moderate at best. I was disappointed by the quality of the signal, even when adjusting the location.

    It didn`t work for me, I would not buy it nor recommend it. On the brighter side, There is no store that will have all good products, and the majority of the products I bought at BB has been worth it.

      Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with our Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna. We understand how frustrating it can be when a product doesn’t meet expectations.

      For the picture quality, it might help to try repositioning the antenna or ensuring it’s placed near a window for better reception. As for the antenna falling off the wall, using stronger adhesive strips or mounting it on a flat surface might improve stability.

      Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your input. If these suggestions don’t help, please reach out to our Best Buy essentials customer service team (1-866-597-8427) for further assistance or to discuss a possible return or exchange. We’re here to help! - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285 BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials
