    Slim indoor antenna

    This should be a good indoor antenna, but not to me. I can chase more channels than my previous one, but the channel I would like to watch is always in "no signal".

    Limited channels based on location of home. Doesn’t pick up channel 7 at all. Depending on which room you set up in will determine which channels it will receive. Channel 2 works the best, in HD.

      Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna didn’t meet your expectations. Given your living situation, signal reception can indeed be challenging. We recommend placing the antenna near a window or trying a higher location if possible. For better performance, an outdoor antenna might be more suitable for your needs. We appreciate your input and are here to help if you have any further questions or need assistance, please reach out to our Best Buy essentials customer support team (1-866-597-8427). - Mae | BestBuy Essential Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285 BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    didn’t suit us, apparently we live in the era of the Internet, and the antennas don’t really catch ordinary channels, due to the lack of towers.

    This product is not very good, it has weak reception, difficult to adjust because it has to be fixed. Hopefully Best Buy will have better products than this one, thanks.

    Barely pulls in stations in the same city as I am. Very sensitive to positioning…inches mean success or failure. No reception over one single bar of strength. Give it a pass and get an amplified antenna.
