    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.

    Great antenna and so easy to use. Love the long cord as it reaches to the best window for reception. Works twice as good as my old RCA and getting at least 50 channels.

      Thank you, Kathy, for sharing your experience with the indoor antenna. It’s great to hear one worked well near a window, though we understand the disappointment with the second one. Your feedback helps us better understand how placement can affect performance. Tine | Best Buy Essentials Support BBY-ExBrand_Best_Buy_essentials

    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.

    Live in Garland TX. Installed antenna in bedroom to get local channels. I cut the cable cord and needed antenna to see local news and programs. Install was easy. Antenna works with TV and does search for channels. I can pick up 4, 5, 8 and 11 without dropouts in the signal. Happy with antenna.

    We are in an area where the cable goes out often. I wanted an antenna as a back-up. This fits the bill: inexpensive, decent cable that is long enough. I have the antenna hanging off one of the shutter louvers behind the TV, so out of sight and easy to move. The reception is quite good. Overall very pleased.

    Compact and easy to install. Like that it is black on one side and white on the other. Should blend in well with most homes. Mine is just sitting behind my TV and I get a bunch of channels without paying for cable.

    I have used similar antennas before, but this one is the best. I live in an area that has trees. And I live in a one-story apartment. We hung this antenna over a nail in the attic (highest point) and aimed as best we could toward the area suggested. It pulled in all the locals with a great picture. We got some channels we weren't aware off. It is a winner for us. Of course YMMV

    TV required external antenna (cable not desired; over-the-air only). This one worked fine for me: suburban bedroom with drywall, 3 miles from urban transmitters. Also got plenty of channels from 20 miles away. Black on one side, white on the other. Needs wall to hang it on.

    This antenna may seem flimsy but it does a great job of picking up the local broadcast channels. It is well worth the $20 price tag. It came with a couple of double sided tape pieces but it was thin enough to just wedge into the weather stripping of a window.
