picture stays clear in bad weather conditions
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.works well with hdtv , once you get it set in right location it takes care of all the channels, no need to keep moving it from place to place. would be nice if it was more compact.

You get what you pay for
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was a little disappointed with this product. Can only get a few channels with it... And none of the channels I really wanted, ABC, NBC, CBS etc... Does have some to do with the towers being towards the front of my house and I'm using this for a TV in the back but with 360 ability should pick up anyway and doesn't. The only reason I would reccomend is if I knew they would use it facing the tower direction.

Does what it's suppose to do
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set up. Low profile(sits behind my tv). I get about 24 channels. I get all the locals. 3 stations are duplicates. I get the MeTv, TheCW, LWN, Bounce, PBS, ION, IONLIFE, 3 other stations, plus 3 shopping channels. The other stations I don't care about. Only interested in the local channels since I use Netflix, hulu plus, Amazon prime, CinemaNow, and YouTube when the local stations don't satisfy my TV needs.

A Bargain
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a wide range of prices for these, like $10 to $130. The clerk recommended this, for about $35 as I recall, as a replacement for my inadequate bottom-end antenna. It tripled the number of channels I get.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just couldn't stomach the cost of cable any longer, for no more than I watch TV. I use internet streaming devices for most of what I want to watch, but I wanted something for local news and major network broadcasts. This antenna works great! I'm on the 2nd floor of a 3-story apartment, and my outside walls face away from the local broadcast towers, so I wasn't expecting much. I was really surprised to find more than 20 local channels with amazing picture quality! If you're considering cutting your cable cord as well, this antenna is definitely worth a try. Be sure to choose one with an amplifier like this.

Solid Product!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a pretty good product. I was hoping for additional channels than just the local. I received some foreign channels that I did not want. That has nothing to do with the product though. The product does what it says. I do wish the cord was a few feet longer.

Ok reception at best
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you live close to the transmission or have it placed near a window, the product works pretty well. However, placing anywhere inside the house seems to produce really poor signal quality. It seems like it is fairly weak considering I am "in town" and struggle to pick up the local stations most days.

Great antenna for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in an all-metal building, and had an older antenna for my TV that just stopped working. I wanted something to help me get over-the-air channels, and was directed to this inexpensive, small unit by the guys at Best Buy. Other items sounded "fancier", but I listened to their recommendation and brought this home. I'm still amazed at how well it works -- there's only one channel that's tough to pick up, and sometimes it does come in. I get the other 14 just fine. And, read the instruction sheet -- it DOES help, at times, to turn the amp part to "off". I don't know why, but every now and then I need to do that. It's simple and quick -- I'm so glad they told me to try this brand and model. Thank you Best Buy!

A great antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna does a great job of pulling in all the channels in my area. I've had another similar antenna that didn't work as well. If you need an HD antenna then definitely consider getting this one.

Excellent Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently canceled my cable due to price increase. I bought a HDTV Antenna by a famous brand name - but it did not work at all, no signal!. So I went to Best Buy and found this RCA Amplified Indoor Off-Air HDTV Antenna; the sales clerk recommended it to me and told me it can receive signal within 25miles. Although I was a little skeptical but I bought it anyway. The installation was no effort - just plug in and that's it. I can see over 20+ channels right away! Great product!

Great antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was worth to get this antenna. The guy at the store recommended as we didn't want to have cable TV. It works perfect, and you can watch all the open channels - that was what we were looking for.

excellent buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought maybe another useless gadget. I was impressed with the HD quality picture and it pulls in al least 8 good local channels. Just what I needed without the monthly payment to the cable co.
