Honestly, I got this at a very low price (refurbished), That's good since it really isn't worth a lot of money. It works but has a relatively short range and needs to be carefully oriented to get a consistent signal. Maybe OK for the city, but not if the signal is coming from more than 10 miles away.

The clarity and picture quality are on par with cable. The channels were easy to acquire with my television. Set up was super-simple. I love the low profile as well as the option to tack the antenna to either the glass window or interior wall. About 15 channels (public, news and movie).

I get all network TV and their affiliates as well as some surprises. I don't bother with trying to change the antenna location to get better reception since it's just a little TV for the garage.
If you're a fan of Filipino Penacostal Preaching or Spanish language ads for miracle cures, this one's for you!

Weak reception indoors could have been the result of being behind a stucco wall...when moved outside, the reception improved dramatically.

Great picture when it came in. I couldn't really tell when or if amplifier was working. But, when pictures come in.. it's crystal clear.

Ive purchased several different types of digital tv antennas and to me that have all been the same. Ive purchased expensive ones and cheap ones and to me that all have gotten me the same channels...until I purchased this antenna! With the signal booster, I am almost getting 50 HD channels and I am soooo glad that I purchased this specific antenna! Def worth the money!

With my old antenna, I got 20 channels, now I pick up like 55. The amplifier was ok. Used my old SNR amplifier and it was better. Overall, an upgrade. Probably wouldn't pay full price, but the refurbished unit was on sale, so meh.

I tried this antenna in the hopes of picking up additional local stations without a cable box. Unfortunately this did not prove to be an improvement over my current antenna so it was returned. I appreciate that Best Buy made it easy to return

I was able to get a few local channels but the performance was inconsistent. While several channel signals came in strong there were many that were so-so. Item was returned for a refund

It doesn’t pick up extra channels and I’ve moved it all over the place, but it will do for now. I’m sure or hoping that it being refurbished doesn’t affect the performance. The positive is that I hardly get any interference with this antenna.

50 mile range - not without tweaking

Not all my stations are local but are in the same direction and within the claimed 50 mile reception area. I don't have any windows facing in the direction of the towers (don't know if this would have helped) but wall mounting it didn't provide adequate reception. With trial and error, bending it, and rotate it, you can get stations at a greater distance but not without drop outs and have to change it for each station. Medium and high power local stations worked well, low powered local and distant stations didn't work for me.

Bought this item to replace a cheaper unit and when I hooked it up I actually lost multiple channels. After reading reviews I was hoping for much more. The channels that I do still receive are stronger.

Good antenna for the money. I am able to receive 36 HD channels in my area. Depending on the weather for the day some stations may cause the picture to distort somewhat.

I purchased a Mohu Leaf50 Indoor Antenna. I had been disatisfied with another indoor antenna. The Mohu picked up additional channels as I hoped.
