Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to replace my old antenna - it worked less that the old one.

NOT AS ADVERTISED ON BOX. VERY POOR QUALITY. FAILS AS A PRODUCT.

Didn't work so I cant give it any stars but had to if I want to review it. Return it and went painlessly, thanknyou Bestbuy for undestading!

Picked no additional channels. Will not lock in any of the channels i have. I lost more channels with it than without it.

Perhaps our location, but it didn't work. It was returned.

I can't get any channels 90 percent of the time. I've moved it around the room with no luck. At least with my old one I got channels

I returned it the same day. Bad reception and channels all over the place. It didnt work for me and video quality wasnt good with colors not looking great.

BACKGROUND: I currently own five HDTV’s throughout our 4-bedroom 3-floor home. Four of the TV’s are using U-verse cable boxes, three of those TV’s also have streaming devices, and one TV (in our finished attic) is using a somewhat similar thin indoor amplified antenna. My goal with this Insignia Ultra-Thin Indoor Amplified HDTV Antenna was to use on our 1st floor family room HDTV to augment our cable box, streaming stick, and Blu-Ray player. Being on the first floor, reception with these types of “ultra thin” antennas can be erratic with digital dropouts and/or frozen screens when I used similar antennas. INSTALLATION: Using any type of antenna with current HDTV’s require accessing the TV’s setup, selecting the “Antenna” or “Cable” option, and then preforming a SCAN. (For those reviews where users said this antenna did not work at all, I assume they may not have performed the above require step.) Once the HDTV completed it local channels scanning, it found 58 digital channels (zero analog channels – I don’t believe they exist anymore?). Depending on the antenna placement, I would scan more or less channels. What made a significant difference was positioning/rotating this antenna 90 degrees. Also, the higher up I had it position, then better the reception and the number of channels found. Note that of the 58 digital channels, some I chose to remove due to excessive digital noise or freezing up altogether due to what I assumed were weak signals. BOTTOM LINE: After a fairly quick installation process, both my wife and I are quite impressed with this Insignia branded amplified antenna. We are able to watch around 45+ local channel programming without dropouts or frozen screens. Of the four or five “thin” antennas I have purchased and tried in the past, this one actually works very well. Our foreseeable future goal is to “cut the cable”, and using this amplified antenna is a giant step in that direction. NIT PICS: Ok, I do wish it had a longer cable. My chosen placement is on our fireplace hearth hidden behind a large picture. And a longer cable would allow me to better hide the wiring. Not a big deal, I’ll just end up buying a thin extension cable. RATING: Using in our North Raleigh NC home, this “Insignia Amplified Ultra-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna w/ 60 Mile Range” earned itself a solid 4-Star Rating. And if you can catch it when it’s on sale, then add another Star!

My non powered antenna works better than this one. The antenna doesnt stick well to the wall and doesnt pick up all the channels my regular one does.

This did not work was getting around 20 channels with old antenna only got 3 with this very disappointed

Doesn't pick up a single channel. JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK

Instructions were followed however this did not work for me. The signal was poor no matter how many times i replaced and did a total redo.

The Insignia ultra thin HDTV antenna is a great low profile option for anyone looking to watch the local networks in their area without subscribing to a streaming service or cable to service. The antenna includes a power inserter a USB power adapter a tabletop base double sided tape and fixing pins. The antenna advertises a 60 mile range but you must realize that your success rate on getting Chanels will depend on how clear of a path there is from the broadcast tower to the antenna. Having a built in amplifier helps boost the performance of the antenna. I appreciated that the antenna has a 10 ft cable because sometimes you will have to mount the antenna higher up in order to get. good signal. My success also varied in the same home as I barely got a few channels on my tv on the first floor however I got most of the channels available to me on the 2nd floor because there was less interference of the signal. Normally a roof mounted antenna will be the gold standard in OTA antenna's however it may be difficult for most of us to mount an antenna on the roof. I also like that one side of antenna is black and 1 side is white so it is easy to blend it into any room without is being an eye sore. If you are looking for an HDTV antenna then the Insignia ultra thin amplified indoor HDTV antenna is a great option at a good price. Your results may cary based on where you live however it is well worth a shot.

It doesn't pick up anything. Hangar and Aluminum foil are cheaper

i know it was an open box, but was missing parts and didnt work anyways

Didn't work for me. Must have a house that isn't in a valley.

Horrible shoud have returned, doesnt work at all glitches constantly

I tried every place possible but no signal, another brand I tried had 30 channels first try

I can only get one broadcaster’s channel set. Not good.

Couldn't pick up a tv channel if you lived in the tv station
