This antena is simply the best antena I ever had. At the beginning I was not expecting nothing amazing for the price range this antena had. When I went home it took me about 5 min to Instal and program. Wooooooow I was amazed almost 50 Chanel’s found. Most of those Chanel I will never watch but the fact that the antena actually work better than more expensive products is crazy. I love the stable signal in local Chanel like Telemundo, Univision, Unimas, America TV

This is supposed to be an antenna that receives channels no matter which direction you put the antenna. I have it on a window & high as possible. I can’t even seem to get 2 channels that don’t have any reception issues. At first I only received 11 channels when it says I will receive up to 62 and then every time I want to watch tv, I have to scan channels. Everytime I scan, I get a different amount of channels and even then only get 2 least interrupted channels. Sometimes I see it says I can receive 25-48 channels but I really only received 2 with minor interruption. Returning today.
Also, the set up process is supposed to be quite easy, and I’m pretty savvy at this. This set up is not easy and it’s a hassle.

I bought this to cut the cable. This was OK for getting local digital channels. Not as good as a real antenna or a more expensive kind, but will get the job done in the city. If you are out more than 25 miles, I would not recommend.

I used this to connect my HD HomeRun Quad tuner. It works better than several of the cheap amplified version I've tried but still isn't quite good enough to drive a 4-tuner setup from ~3mi away from the source.

It works well for the price. I was able to get a lot of channels. The white color is also great for blending into my white wall.

I live in a canyon about 50-60 miles from the major stations but can receive some (not all) local area stations when mounting upstairs.
We have a narrow line of sight to the signals and it wont pick up stations in every room. I needed to use an amplified antenna in rooms where this passive antenna would not work.
Caution: the adhesive pads using for wall mounting has ripped paint from the wall when repositioning it.

I decided terminate my contract with my satellite provider because it was getting ridiculously expensive. Bestbuy had this product for sale at 19.99, so I decided to give it a try. Money well spent!
The setup took only a few minutes and i have more channels than I need.

This antenna is so easy to install and works perfectly! I get many broadcast channels with very clear picture. It's on the wall above the tv--didn't even have to put it on the window. Can't beat it for the price!

This antenna works great. Got rid of my high cable bill! Only thing is when it’s windy the channels flicker in and out! But overall a great buy.

Looks nice, it does not require a lot of room. Most important it does the job and you will get additional couple channels (at least that what happend with me)

The antenna works as designed with regard to television station coverage and signal strength was good for channels within the manufacturers indicated radius of expected coverage.
One drawback, the adhesive round stickers used to attach the antenna to the wall are very strong and upon initial placement peeled the paint off the wall when I tried to re-position the antenna.

I placed outside under my porch roof fastened at top to a child gate with a spring clamp and gate leaning against house wall. I fastened to 50 foot of coax to bed TV and am able to get 5 good stations. I got for free with rewards just to see if I could get free TV. It works sort of inside but only at a widow an a very week signal. I have aluminum siding and I think that stops the signal. Thinking of another or taking camping for TV.

Very easy to install, geat price, the small size antenna does its job, for a few channels, not as stable as the other outdoor antenna I am using for a different room. But, for the price, you can't beat it.

I was skeptical as it didn't have an amplifier with it. But, I just plugged it in, put the antenna near a window, and had the TV scan for channels. It worked pretty well. Most of the locals channels come through fine. There is one channels that is in and out though. But for the price, it punches above its weight. Just make sure to keep the head as high as possible for best reception.

Better than rabbit ears, but often has to be resituated when you change channels. It does allow me to get over 80 channels.

I purchased for my mom’s Roku Smart TV -a Christmas gift. It’s cheap, but works fine. She was able to easily stick it to the wall. Salesman tried to get me to buy a more expensive antenna but this picks up all local channels with no problems and it looks better than having “rabbit ears”.
