    Had to return because it didn't work on Green Mt, Lakewood, CO, due to shadow of the hill. Product is probably fine, just a bad reception area.

    It’s ok. Not as many channels as I expected and cannot for the life of me get Fox 2 which certainly isn’t out of range so it’s frustrating. Past the return date so I can no longer get refund. Disappointed

      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.

    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!
