    This is a great antenna. I did not even mount it to the wall. It is simply propped up behind my TV and I am able to get tons of channels. In the future I will get some command strips and mount it. At that time I will rescan to see if it picks up more channels. It definitely serves my purpose and that is saving money by not wasting $300 a month on cable. I did read all of the great reviews. however, I was not quite sold. I figured for the price it couldn't hurt to try. I am very satisfied. There are a lot of home shopping channels I wish those were real channels instead. FYI you will not get channels 2, 7, 11 or 13 in NYC. At least I know that mine does not offer those channels. However its not a big loss. There are tons of sub channels to watch. I was also able to find a quite a few movie channels.

    Worked easily and much better than I had hoped. Was able to get over 60 local channels right away at a tremendous price. Will probably get one or two more for our other tvs.

    I rated it 4 instead of 5 because I have nothing to compare it to. But it seems to work very well for my purposes. I am able to get PBS and a few other local channels and that's all I need. It was easy to put on the wall and looks quite unobtrusive. I was happy enough with it to buy another one for my other tv.

    Alternative to cable

    Works well and is very easily installed. I only ever use standard TV for the odd sporting event, so paying for cable was far too expensive for three or four games a month. This brings in over the air games perfectly well.

    Overall I’m pretty impressed with this antenna. I’m new to the ‘cutting of the cord’…trying to cut my ridiculous cable bill. So I tried this antenna in my bedroom and get 28 channels. I now know I should have gone with a longer distance because one of the local stations cuts out constantly. I bought an amplifier but it doesn’t seem to help. But for the price, I’m very please. Even on a cloudy and super windy day, I got most stations with no issues.

    We cut cable this year & are trying "Streaming". I was struggling not being able to watch local channel news, sports, or any live nationally (AGT, American Idol, Survivor, Super Bowl, etc...). $19.95 gave us 31 stations (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, etc...). Easy plug in, toughest thing for me (Tech challenged) was just figuring where to get them on the remote and TV the first time. I 100% recommend!

    Signal strength

    Proximity is a virtue

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    An inexpensive solution if you live in a signal-rich area, but the 35-mile estimate seems over-optimistic for all but the strongest signal. Second-tier stations with lower signal strengths were in-and-out & unviewable for me, with a mostly unobstructed view in the direction(s) of their signals. Your mileage (and viewage) may vary.

    Awesome Antena

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I wasn’t even sure this antenna would even work so I got a returned one. It works great after placing it in a few different spots. I was never able to get ABC and not it comes in clearly and I get a few other stations I never had before. The only downside is that it is kinda big and white but I was able to paint the same color as my wall and it “almost” blends. Good buy.

    This HD antenna is the fourth one I purchased so every TV in the house has one. They are incredibly good for the money invested and have only had to reposition a couple of times until they “settle in.” Tip- it helps to rescan the TV for channels every now and then to pick up new stations that may have been added to the broadcast antennas.

    Easy installation. Crystal clear, HD reception on an Insignia FireTv. I picked up 49 over-the-air channels. I will be buying 2 more and recommend to anyone.

    Just put it against the wall near the TV and got access to all the local channels! This is incredible and the picture is clear with no pixelation. Totally worth the money. Store employees should recommend this product first before more expensive products.

    I bought two antennas which brands claimed to be "the best" of the market. However, after reading an article from THE NEW YORK TIMES regarding the Best Buy's Antenna, I can confirm that this antenna is Super Great. Thank you Best Buy!
