When reception is good, it is a great picture. However, it loses reception pretty often and I have to move it around the room. But, I have found that with all the products I have tried.

We have recently "cut the cord". It was one of the best moves we ever made. This antenna does a fine job here in Charlotte.

Purchased this along with a Fire Stick. All the shows I watch are local anyway, so it was a no brainer for me to cancel cable.
You do have to make sure it's not near any other radio interference like your router, or the Fire Stick. Whenever it's near the Fire Stick, the channels wouldn't come in. Other than that, I like it.

This antenna is much more powerful than the other two I have tried. It picks up some of the main local channels (which is what I wanted) but also provides very little to no interference when raining or other weather related events. It is good because it comes with hardware so I can mount it behind the TV on the wall for no visibility. It's USB power connector also makes the wire traffic very minimal with only the USB cable for power and the cable TV for the antenna signal itself.

It's hard to know whether these antennas work or not. There is so much variation in atmospheric conditions let alone signal conditions within the home such as Wi-Fi, appliances, cell. Buy it, try it and return it if it doesn't seem to help.... ? This design is sleek and inconspicuous but it is also lightweight and can be difficult to place if working with stiff cables. Hard to tell if the powered amplification works or not--it seems sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

I hooked this to my TV in a hilly/mountainous area within 50 miles of Albany, NY and got one channel, so I returned it. Not sure if it's the antenna's fault or not...

This antenna provides pretty good reception for the most part. However, when the signal is weak there are interruptions in the program. And you have to keep moving it around to get the best reception. It is an improvement on a rabbit ears or the as seen on tv antennas. But there are instances where it does not work and this my be because of the weak signal strength.

This is the second digital antenna we have purchased and first to really work. We live 25-30 miles from the city (local tv stations.) When placed in window it is nearly unnoticeable and picks up several PBS stations as well as CBS, NBC, Fox and the CW. No luck on ABC but when paired with our Sling TV and Netflix subscriptions, it makes for affordable viewing with just enough options to satisfy.

It was a breeze to set up. Picture was great, the only problem was every now and then the channel would "act up". Not sure why. Didn't happen too often.

I had purchased a Vizio tv for my wife's art room, which does not have a cable outlet, and decided to try out this powered antenna from GE. It set up easily, scanned quickly and had excellent quality broadcasts from the local stations, even in thunderstorms. If you looking to cut cable costs, this is one excellent alternative.

It is an amazing product, but it's only convenient who have their tv right next to the window. My tv is mounted to the wall on the other side, and the cable port is on the opposite side of the tv. The cable is too short to reach the window and it's messy; other than that, it's an amazing product. I would give it 5 stars if they cord was longer and easier to hide.

If you live in an area where there are many local stations you may get good reception. It did not work very well for me, however and had to return the item. It would get a good signal then it would lose the signal quickly. It did not work good enough to keep. I think I would depend on your location whether it would work well for you so therefore I would recommend to a friend to try and see since each situation would possibly be different. Also, remember to change your TV setting to antenna from cable and reprogram channels.

I was hesitant about purchasing this item, but am glad I did. This is an amazing antenna and works extremely well. I have this antenna set up in the middle of my living room and it gets all the OTA stations. If you want a nice looking and powerful antenna I would say buy it.

We were hoping to cut the cable cord and the sales associate assured us this was the best antenna BB had to offer. I was skeptical, but correct. We only live a few miles from the city in a slightly wooded area -- and this antenna couldn't pick up a signal for more than 30 seconds before freezing, glitching and losing audio sync. We tried several TV's and locations -- same...same..and same. We purchased a leaf and that picked up the signal and things are great. It looks nice and is fairly low profile, but we had to return it.

This antenna is great. It’s slim and doesn’t look out of place. We don’t get many channels in my area, but it’s no fault of the antenna. We get the stations I expected and the picture looks great. I am satisfied with my purchase, and thankful I bought it on sale!
