Had High Hopes but somewhat disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased two of these antennas for our home since we have cut the cord (and truthfully don't watch TV that much). I had hoped that we would get excellent reception with this powered antenna but in fact, many stations don't come in at all, and others come in at times and not at others. We have repositioned the antenna several times but this does not solve the problem.

Quality has gone down
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I rarely write a product review but I felt compelled to write this one. I purchased one of these antennas about 2 years ago and was pretty pleased with it. So fast forward to now. I purchased another one just like it for another TV in a different room. Before I purchased it, I moved the one I have to try it in that location before buying another one. It worked well. So I purchased the second one. Original one made in China pulled in around 45 channels. The second one made in Taiwan only pulls in 28 and some of those go in and out. The amplifier is much smaller and feels very frail compared to the other one. Disappointed in the difference. Company should do a better job on monitoring overall quality imho. I probably wouldn’t buy it again.

Indoor antenna
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great! So good to get rid Directv. I can get 17 local channels for free. What can be better than that? I was not familiar with the name brand, but I am total happy with its performance.

Great picture
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like it the fact I was capable of picking up great quality images, bit most of the channels are repeat. Although there were a total of about 26 channels at least 7 or so were repeat or no show channels. The main news channels have great picture quality.

very delicate and not very strong

Not a clear choice.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as good as I thought it would be. Sometime we get good clear channels, other times we lose channels and other ones are in and out. I have it in the best position after trying several positions. Very disappointed that it doesn’t have good reception at all times. Also not getting all the channels we thought we would have.

Does exactly what I need
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I'm too cheap to pay for cable, I decided to get this antenna for my TV set, I figured if I could get 1 local news station that would be all I really need (since I have a Hulu, and Netflix). However sometimes (not too often though if it's really windy that's the only time I have trouble getting anything.

Works as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We recently cut the cable. This antenna is a great way to bring in local TV stations. The stations must really be local, though. Even with the amplifier, it doesn't bring in everything. It is MOSTLY multi-directional. You still have to play with it to find the best position to bring in the most stations.

Hard to tell if quality or not
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since there are so many factors in an HD Antenna, it is hard to say with certainty that this product has poor reception. The fact that I'm 7 miles from the tower in clear sight, and the channel continually cut in and out points more to the quality then the broadcast... If you have a lot of HD around your home, this might be a nice cheap alternative to cable. Just keep the receipt... I returned mine.

Works as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this indoor antenna based on reviews I have read and am satisfied with it's abillity to bring in most local tv stations. I have to move it every once in a while to bring in some stations due to weather conditions or trees obstructing line of reception, otherwise this tv antenna works as advertised.

Great buy
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Living in a rural area means that we only got 1 channel off air that was watchable. Now that we have this antenna that problem is solved and the picture from the signal looks great!

More channels
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm in downtown cleveland and for some reason can get the top 4 channels. This has been the best antenna I've tried(I've tried 4). all but one come in perfect, the other is glitchy at times. Guess it's simply part of my area, although you would thinks downtown city would get all channels easily.

Our area doesn't have english broadcast.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We were experimenting what we could use without paying a monthly cable bill. Unfortunately most of the stations this antennae brought in were in Spanish and not many in English. It did the job. Best Buy took it back. We ended up with cable.

Works fair
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna works fair most of the time. This is for my 92 years old mother in law some channels come fine but not all & not all the time . I will say no on the recommendation of this because you need to reset the TV all the time when you lose the channels!!!!
