    PERFECT SMALL, FLAT INDOOR ANTENNA

    This is as good, if not better, than several more expensive antennas I’ve bought in the past, including several with amplification. The higher you can mount it, the better (usually). If you move it around, you might find a “sweet spot” for a low strength or distant stations. In one room, I combined two antennas via a coax cable splitter, then ran the combined signal to the TV. This allowed me to pick up one additional weak local network

    The antenna works great. I live in the city and easily pick up all the local channels and sub channels. I don’t even have it high on a wall or in a window either. Very happy with it.

    This antenna works so surprisingly Well! I have it hooked up to my Sony tv, and I live with a lot of tall trees around, and I pick up every channel I ever did when I had Xfinity! For some reason it works better than the antenna that is made for a 50 mile radius. I couldn’t have a more Clear picture on my tv, and I’m so Happy to be saving the money I am by having this antenna!! I Highly recommend this antenna!!

    I bought this because I was interested in canceling cable but still wanted to get live local channels without having to pay extra through a streaming service. This works great! It provides a great picture to my tv and is flat so it fits perfectly behind my tv on the wall. You don't even see it. I would definitely recommend this product.

    Purchasing this antenna from Best Buy was a great idea. I was able to set it up quickly and easily. My over-the-air reception improved immediately and dramatically. Stations that had been intermittent were steady and clear. I also got more channels. I could not be more pleased.

    Purchased this for our smart TV in the basement. Could not be more happier. Goodbye cable! Receive 78 channels now! Wow! Installation is easy. Just need to find the right spot to get the right signal. Great buy! I would recommend. We reside in a poulated area. I think this helps with range. I do not know how this will work in a rural area.

    Decent performance, comparable to a well known brand. No tv antenna is guaranteed to give reception. Local conditions vary quite a bit. However on a side by side comparison, it was very similar to the competitor

    This antenna has proven to be an ideal solution for my sewing room, providing lightweight functionality and a stylish aesthetic when wall-mounted, as it was the tv originally intended as a gift.

    It works. Gave me a ton of channels but the content on over the air channels is pretty much garbage. You’ll find yourself channel surfing more than watching a program. Would highly recommend if you want a ton of over the air channels for a cheap price

    It was easy to plug in and set up. Also, it was able to find quite lots of channels. I'm able to watch a couple local news channels in addition to other channels that offer court tv shows, ION, HSN, etc. My main reason for purchasing this was to watch football games and hoping to do so now. I believe this purchase was a great value.

    This got high marks and for only $20.00 it seemed like a no lose proposition. Easy to install . We couldn't put the antenna as close to a window as we would have liked because the cable doesn't stretch that far but even where it is positioned, we get a lot of channels and the reception is mostly very good (the picture occasionally breaks up). Definitely worth the money.
