Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

[Employee of bestbuy] Couldn't pick up a tv channel if you lived in the tv station

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

bought htis antenna last night,got it home,connected to tv,scanned channels and now have 39 channels! with another more expensive indoor antenna i only received 19 channels before it crapped out and i returned it. so far looks very promising. it picked up RF channel 6 which is georgia PBS that shows as channel 20. if it continues to do well during the daytime hours,i will be purchasing another one for my TV room on the other side of the house. so far i would recommend this antenna to all. it says 60 mile range but i didn't realistically expect that since a lot of things that can cause even an outdoor long range antenna to not pickup stations can affect the reception and signals start to drop after 60 to 70 miles because of the curve of the earth.

This Insignia Amplified antenna was easy to set up and I like the stand that it comes with. Of course, it also comes with push pins and adhesive stickers for mounting if that's your preference. The antenna is black on one side and white on the other, so you have an option of which best fits your taste. I prefer the black side, but don’t care for the white cord on the antenna. It would blend in better to me no matter which side is displayed if the cord itself was black and white instead of all white. You can't beat the unintrusive ultra-thin design, though, whether it's mounted or on the stand. I tried the antenna on 3 different TVs and even though it picked up more channels on all of them (61, 68, and 83 respectively), the number of channels that pixelated or lost signal was worse. I can’t say that the antenna is bad or doesn’t work because it did indeed pick up more channels. And just because it didn’t do well where I wanted it, doesn’t mean it won’t work for you since location is key. It's worth the cost if it works for you.

This Insignia HDTV antenna does a good job of pulling in signals from up to 30 miles away from my location. That's enough range to capture all the over-the-air digital channels in my metropolitan area plus a few outside of it. I've tried several different antennas and this Insignia model is the only one that has worked acceptable. All the others were returned since they couldn't pull in all my local stations, wither at all, or without requiring the antenna to be re-oriented depending on the channel I wanted to watch. This Insignia antenna works without having to fiddle around with it, once it is set up. I used a channel finder website that tells which direction station transmitters are located in relation to my house. Then set up the antenna to face the flat side of it in a compromise direction that would more or less be pointed at the transmitters. After that, have your TV run a channel scan ad see if all the stations are captured and if any are garbled. Then readjust the antenna orientation and perform another channel scan to see if the results are better. you may have to do this several times. A nice thing about this antenna is that it comes with a decent stand that holds the antenna securely. Other antennas I've tried lack this key feature and made orienting the antenna impossible. This one solves that problem. This antenna also comes with a USB power supply so everything you need is in the box. Overall this is a great addition to a HDTV that you can't or won't connect to a cable box or streaming device and it picks up broadcast channels very cleanly.

If you've ever set up one of these types of antennas before, you shouldn't have any trouble here. And if this is your first, the instructions are easy enough to follow and you should have everything hooked up in minutes. A very strong word of caution, though, do NOT use the push-pins that come included. While trying different areas of my wall to test out the reception, the heads of the pins came off the instant I tried pulling them out, resulting in a sharp poking hazard that I ended up just hitting with a hammer to push all the way into the wall. Discard the pins as safely as possible and use something else to secure the antenna if you're hanging it on a wall. Also, I found that I was picking up better signals when the antenna was set up on the included stand. I don't know the reasoning why, and it could largely depend on your own location. In general, the effectiveness of the antenna will depend on how far you are from various stations. I personally had a little over 20 that I could reach, with a few having very spotty reception. Overall, the antenna does work as it should, but I would suggest doing some research ahead of time to see if it will meet your needs or if you need something with more range.

If you're looking for an alternative to cable TV, this antenna could be the answer. This antenna finds multiple cable channels that you would not have to pay for including local TV channels that carry, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and more. Installation is very simple: just connect the cables and find a suitable place to mount the antenna itself. One end of the cable goes directly to your TV or cable box, while the other goes to a USB brick (included). The included instructions make it visually easy to connect. Once your antenna is connected, you have to install the channels that can be done automatically. This does take some time, however, My antenna found over 50 channels. This antenna does have a 60-mile radius. Although the process was seamless, I was disappointed by the image on most channels. They had a blotched image and could not remain stable. The problem was not due to the antenna, but the amplification power. My TV is over 30 miles from downtown which is also a factor. Although the price of this antenna was reasonable, you may need to invest in a more powerful antenna amplifier if you do not live in a central city location. This Insignia indoor HDTV did work as advertised, but you should consider purchasing it depended on your location in relation to TV towers in your area.
