    Despite living high up on a mountainside facing the valley, I was only able to get 6 channels, none of which were local channels. A complete waste of money, IMHO.

    Purchased this in hopes of getting some kind of reception and channels for my father in-laws tv and it just didn’t do a thing. I tried to place the receiver in just about every place and position and it didn’t work. Should have tried going with another option.
