    Not good for a rural area with high tree density or in a multi unit structure such as a condo. Very limited stations, had to rescan every time television was turned on and channels that did come it did not receive very clear images on fast speed/action programs, such as sports, etc. Very disappointed for mileage range item stated.

    This review is based on my experience. Your experience could be different. The antenna is easy to install, however I didn't get anything on it. Probably because I have a two story house and used it downstairs and not near any windows.

    Barely pulls in 4 channels and they sometimes goes out. Am in the city and well within range of the towers. There are no major obstructions to block the signal. You are better off going with a different brand or getting an outside antenna you can mount up high. Almost worthless. It cheap lightweight plastic and doesn't sit solidly on base. Had to tape it to a window to get any channels and that barely works. Should have returned it.

    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.

    The antenna didn’t work. In defense of the product, we live behind mountains. We returned the product and had an amplified rooftop antenna installed by a professional and that did the trick. We have 65 over the air digital channels coming in crystal clear. FREE TV. Someone without mountainous interference would be better suited for the indoor antenna.

    I purchased two of these because of the longer distance. Neither one of them are picking up several of the local stations. My sister that lives behind me can pick up a lot more channels with a different antenna. I have tried the directions several times with no improvement.

    I ended up returning the product because the nearest ABC affiliate was about half the distance away as the product states is its range, yet it didn't come in. I realize there are a lot of factors that go into reception quality and reliability but when it says 65 miles is the limit, I live in the middle of a city and I can't pick up a neighboring city's abc affiliate that's 35 miles away, there's more than just problems with where I live.

    I had a 5 dollar digital antenna to confirm I could get signal, I then invested in this upgrade which. It's 10x more, expecting more channels. I got more channels with the 5$ unit than this one. I tried 11 different locations. Junk

    This thing was horrible. It barely worked at all. The one of our 3 local channels was not being broadcast due to a negotiation stand-off on our cable network, and unfortunately it is the channel we watch the most. The transmission tower is less than 15 miles away, and we had zero reception from them. A total waste of money...

    Even though I have three broadcasters within forty miles, I couldn't receive a single station. I returned it for a refund and just don't have local channels with my satellite service.

    Too many trees..not enough signal. For us, considering our location, this was a waste of money. Heard great things about it. Glad it works for those in metropolitan areas.

    Poor Antenna

    This antenna is no better than a set of Rabbit Ears. It is advertised to bring in TV signals as far as 60 miles away. It does not perform as advertised. Save your money.

    Tried this antenna both powered and unpowered. I put it in the same place as my old $12 antenna. It only picked up 2 channels. The cheap antenna worked much better.

    I got this with hopes of picking up local channels. Unfortunately it did not pick up anything for me. It could’ve been the placement, but it did not work for me.

    Even if it was free it wouldn't be worth the trip in to Best Buy to pick it up. My tv got better reception with no antenna plugged in that with this thing.

    As anyone who has cable or satellite at least once per year one or more of your local channels will go offline for a week or so. Given our political environment it is important to keep up with the current political environment. This is why I bought this antenna, it is supposed to have a range of 75, I live less than 10 miles from the furthers tower, and yet I could only gey 1/3 of the channels, and never consistently. The build of the antenna is cheaply made, the cable is a flimsy RG5 cable, it comes with an included power amplifier which has no light,is it working, I saw no difference. My advice is do not buy this unit
