Great picture
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So easy to set up. We took it out of the box, plugged into back of the tv. That's it, tv channels are so clear. Like the slim clean look. Great product.

Meh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It looks good but I also bought one for $29 and compared the signal and the $29 antenna had a way better signal

Decent Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It provides about 140 channels although some buffer depending on the signal location while others don’t. There’s a built in-app to help locate tv towers for signal but it seems like you have to move the antenna around in order to get a decent connection.

Light, sleek and easy to set up.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While it is a bit larger than I anticipated it is a sleek looking piece of equipment and was easy enough to set up. We have had no problem with it since we hooked it up and are quite pleased with the consistency of the reception.

Good indoor antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to use in a rural town instead of getting another satellite receiver. It was easy to set up, and it picked up about 30 channels after finding the right direction to turn it. Nice alternative to satellite/cable if you don't desire all the channels and the high costs.

Great Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was recommended by a bestbuy associate when I bought my OLED tv so I gave it a try. I was surprise now I have access to all the local channels in my area and won’t have to pay for it monthly. I was also impress on how clear the pictures are perfecly complimented my OLED.

Too pricey for an ok product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't watch a lot of tv and just needed the basic channels. This works great for some of the channels that comes through, however not all the channels are received. Needed to move around my apartment a lot just to find a good signal. Not worth it for the amount I paid on this thing.

Good but not for my application
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a good antenna but did not preform as well as I needed it to, but even though it was in my basement with a long run, it still picked up several over the air channels.

Easy to install
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works pretty well. Pulls in about 34 channels of which only about 22 are in English. Was hoping it,would pull in more channels for my mom as we did,away with her Sat TV but clarity of pic pretty crisp.

Great range, Average picture quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex facing away from the local tv antennas. I previously used a mohu leaf and often got broken signal, especially when a train went by on the nearby tracks. This antenna seems to be slightly more consistent than the leaf, however it still occasionally breaks up with the passing trains. I also think the leaf provided marginally better picture quality (I had 720p on one of the channels and now I have only 480p on that channel, with no change on the other channels). However, this antenna picks up a handful more channels than the leaf. I could see this antenna being very useful in the suburbs where the extra range is needed.

Easy setup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was told the antenna would receive all channels in a 60 mile radius. Picks up only about half of them.

Really Good Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This powered antenna works well indoors. It was very easy to install. The ability to receive channels from up to 65 miles away is a bit of an exaggeration. It takes up a small amount of space and looks good.

Easy set up and works pretty well.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works better than the cheaper model it replaced but still not 100%. I live about 35 miles from the center of Chicago where most of the broadcasting antennas are. And unfortunately my antenna and TV are in a room on the south side of the house and the broadcasting antennas are north. The signal has to go through a lot of house to get to my antenna. I get many stations, but if anything else (including myself) get between the antenna and the broadcasting antennas, it impacts reception on certain channels, not all. Depending on where this is placed in your home and which direction the broadcasting antennas are I figure the range is 30-40 miles. I'm at the edge.

Good antenna overall.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna works well and it is easy to install. I was able to have HD channels and it worked almost all of the time. My only issue was thati live on the border and my home faces North so I couldn't receive channels in my county. I wasn't able to get the local news and weather for my city.

Pretty good indoor antennae
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TRY THIS ANTENNAE WITH AND WITHOUT THE PLUG-IN AMPLIFIER. I actually got more channels without the booster. After some research I found out that amplifiers really only work right next to the antennae followed by a very long cable run to your tv, or when splitters are used to feed multiple tvs in a house. With my set up, with this antennae right next to the tv, a short cable run and only to 1 tv....the booster ends up OVERAMPLIFYING some signals which will cause you to not get the signal. Sounds backwards I know. I'm on the west side of Cleveland, OH and got several more stations without the plug-in booster.

Great Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use the TREK antenna as a set top antenna. It is sturdy, looks great and only needs occasional manual directional tuning due to poor weather. I use the TREK with an outdoor pre-amp filter (to aid in filtering out cell phone and other interfering frequencies), followed by a 40db amp and have all my audio/video equipment on a AC noise filtering power strip (these items were purchased separately). This setup enables the antenna to consistently pull in all my local stations and additional stations typically requiring a rooftop or outdoor antenna.

Cheaper version has better reception
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had previously purchased a less expensive version of this unit, and was satisfied with the reception I got, for the price. When I decided to purchase another HD antenna, I thought a more expensive version of the unit I had with supposedly greater range would be worth the price. I was proven wrong. The cheaper unit provides better reception.

Not sure about this one.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased the higher cost one with farther range to pull as much TV as possible in my area. It pulls the channels far away but won't pull the one 5 miles away regardless of where we put it or how many times we have moved it. Not sure I would recommend.
