    I've had a lot of bad luck with over the air antwnna's. This one was really plug and play. Found 50 channels on the first search. The reception is amazing its true HD!!! The fact that iys thin and basically can hang anywhere is also a plus!!!

    For the basic model, it did a great job. I was able to scan and receive 88 channels ( not all perfect unless moved the antenna) But the overwhelming majority of stations came in fine. Start with this model first and work your way up if this isn't powerful enough. Using in major city along the coast. If there are hills near you may not work as well but i recommend giving it a try. Very happy

    Got it in case my cable goes out. Easy setup, plugged it in and placed it behind my TV on top of the wall mount bracket; not the ideal location but it works. Tuned in all my local stations and the picture looks good.

    Good for close local stations. If your stations are not really close better to go with the next step up- the amplified version.

    Was originally worried bc I live on the bottom floor Apartment and the closest way to the outside was my front door however i have a patio but most of my patio roof is still apart of the upstairs apartment's floor. So i was afraid id have reception issues with my placement. Those worries were dispelled as it worked great! Very simple to set up, literal 'plug and play'

    Hooked up and started getting channels from much farther away than 35 miles. The only issue I ran into was the adhesive pads were a little difficult, the peel off paper didn't want to detach from them.

    This antenna works great. I can pickup up around 60 channels from my house. I even have one in my basement and the antenna is not near a window - I get all the same channels that I get from my Livingroom. It is much more reasonable than paying for cable.

    Overall, solid product. I like that it is double-sided. Mounted it on the wall easily and get most of the local broadcast channels with no issues. The local NBC channel frequently goes in and out. It may be because it uses a VHF frequency, so maybe this antenna isn't great for that.

    Being so light (including the coaxial cable), I was able to stick it to the window with tape. That's a huge advantage over heavier, more expensive antennas. Reception is good; most TV towers are within a 20 mile radius. I am using it with the Tablo, which gives me freedom to pick the optimal location and orientation in the house. (Coaxial cable goes in the Tablo device, which then broadcasts the signal to my Roku via wifi.)

    Initially skeptical, but once I set it up, I was pleasantly surprised. Was able to get over 70 channels including all of the main local channels, then additional channels like ion, ion+, etc… I recommend, but may depend on location.
