I read reviews and it appears that all the happy customers must have been in a city. I do not live out in the middle of the farm country but this unit did not work. I tried it in but TV locations and no solid results. Only grabbed one channel reliably.

Brand response from Tech Support

Hello TimmyG, thank you for reaching out to us regarding our GE UltraPro Bar HD 400 Indoor Antenna. We are very sorry to hear about your recent unsatisfactory experience you had with our product. As the manufacturer, our mission is to provide complete customer satisfaction and quality products that deliver the expected performance. We want to work with you directly and resolve the difficulties, the best we can.
Antenna reception range is based on a line of sight signal path from the TV broadcast towers to your home. Several factors can limit reception range at your location. Some of these are mountainous and hilly terrain, obstructions in the signal path and metal construction materials. First, make sure that the antenna is fully extended on each end. This will allow the antennas dipoles to be fully extended for better reception. The antenna must be connected to the TV and connected to a power source at all times in order for the antenna to function properly. You will need to scan for channels on your TV. This is a very important step. Your TV will NOT receive signals from the antenna without doing a channel scan. We recommend that you see you TV’s menu screen for this process or refer the instruction manual that came. You can use a website like www.tvfool.com to find the direction your signals are coming from and position the antenna where it is facing toward the tower, as well as, positioning the antenna as high off the ground as you can. The repositioning will allow for optimum reception. It is important that you rescan your channels once the antenna has been repositioned. If you are still not able to access any channels, your antenna may be over amplifying the signal. We recommend that you switch the amplifier to the OFF position behind the antenna and rescan for channels again
If the problem persists, please give us a call at 1-800-654-8483, press option 1 and provide our Support Team with your ticket number 294973. We look forward to working with you to ensure your complete satisfaction with our GE UltraPro Bar HD 400 Indoor Antenna.

This antenna has an excellent performance and it's reliable. Sometimes the picture cuts in and out but it doesn't do this a lot. Until I bought this antenna I wasn't able to watch TV with my other RCA antenna which worked decently in the other places that I lived in.

Besides streaming on a TV via Netflix, Amazon Prime, and another service via high speed internet from the cable provider, local live news coverage was desired, and this product filled this void with the ability to get ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox and PBS.

Great reception. But each channel has to be readjusted. Looks nice but not practical for constant searching.

This antenna is fantastic!!! Getting free local channels plus more in HD with no issues. I thought about getting a lower end antenna with less mileage coverage. I'm so glad I didn't. My friends are shocked when I tell them it's broadcasting through this antenna.
