    This particular antenna did not have the ability to pick up local channels because it didn't have to be plugged into power. I had to exchange it for one that worked.

      Sorry for you bad experience. You can check your area's signal strength on www.antennaweb.org, if the signal is strong and not blocked by buldings and metals, the antenna may be broken; if the signal is mid or weak, and not blocked by buildings or metals, maybe a amplifiered antenna or outdoor antenna is better for your area

    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.
