    Love it? Yes

    I never thought I'd use the words "love" and "antenna" in the same sentence but... I love this antenna. It has literally opened the door to such a wide variety of channels that we don't need to add a subscription service. Mind you, we are not huge TV watchers, so it may not be enough for everyone, but it's a great start. It works much better than the cheaper versions ever did. I was able to position it well enough to never have to run over to fix it in the middle of a suspenseful scene. Love it!

    Insignia Amplified Ultra-Thin HDTV Antenna

    Great antenna for the price. Came with a long enough cord that we were able to reach the window facing the broadcast towers 40 miles away. We have a lot of trees on our property and the Insignia works great.

    I purchased this to add available channels to my Uverse lineup....Mainly for service outages. I now pick up an additional 30 channels. It's what I expected and a fairly inexpensive solution.

    Awesome Digital Antenna!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had to downgrade my streaming service because of a layoff. I never used my streaming service very much anyhow. Only to watch local channels. This digital antenna was extremely easy to set up and get going on my Samsung Smart TV. It is seamlessly integrated with my interface, so accessing the local channels it picks up is easy. It shows up like another app and shows a TV guide and everything!

    Very happy with this antenna. After moving it to different locations and rescanning a few times, it works perfectly! I would also mention that it helps to rescan for channels every so often too. No complaints so far, but it would be nice if the cord were a little longer.

    First experience with ota digital and I must say this antenna works very, very well. When positioned with clear view and exterior exposure, it's almost perfect. Not bad at all for about 35 bucks!!!

    Antenna good for suburbs

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    In my opinion, this antenna clears up pixels and lost signals better than Leaf. We live in the suburbs, at least 30-50 miles from T.V. stations. It has been a good purchase so far.

    This antenna did what it advertised to do. DirecTV had a contract dispute and we were unable to see the NBC channel, which carried some NFL games. With this antenna, we saw everything we wanted.

    Went from 9 channels to 41 by switching to this product to the new TV, and got an old favorite back. Works the best when it is in a window.

    Hooked it up & voila, got local ABC, CBS, NBC along with many more channels. Bought 2 from Amazon due to reviews & they only picked up local ABC + some extras. Live rural & the picture & clarity is phenomenal. Antenna sits in one spot & never has to moved. Love it!

    Passive antenna works better for me

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I originally bought the Best Buy Essentials passive antenna (BE-ANT200HA). That one picked up a lot of channels well, but some were hit or miss. PBS in particular was a weak, choppy, often dead signal. I figured that an amplified antenna would provide a stronger signal and help glitchy channels come through more clearly. That was not the case. The passive antenna actually picked up more channels in the exact same location and position as this active antenna. The only way this purchase did help was that I realized rotating the passive antenna on a stand allowed me to pull a stronger signal (it didn’t come with its own stand, so I hadn’t tried that). Rotating these antennas seems to be a lot more helpful in my location than moving them around on a flat wall.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
