      Hi, thanks for your review. Please move your antenna to different location and rescan the channels. Normally, it is better to put near window and face to the TV tower, avoid blocking by concrete or metal material. BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    This works pretty well for me. Unfortunately it doesn’t receive PBS channels in my location, so I tried upgrading to an active antenna, and it actually performed worse than this passive antenna. With this one, I’m pulling 50ish channels 6-7 miles away from the broadcast towers in my city. Some even have great HD picture quality. One tip: if you can find a way to stand this up vertically on a flat surface, you’ll be able to swivel it around and point it in different directions. That seems to be more effective for me than placing it in different positions on a wall.

    Worked like a charm. Easy set up and we got about 80 clear channels. Granted that there were several shopping channels among them, but it also included several PBS stations.

    It’s easy to set up, it works great — the initial scan found over 100 over-the-air channels — it’s compact, and it’s inexpensive.
