A very small foot print with great reception. Pulled in over a dozen channels, many from outside my viewing area!

I bought a $30 non-amplified antenna and this antenna hoping that I could save a few dollars. Unfortunately for my wallet, this antenna was much better. It's smaller, easy to mount, and most importantly it really does outperform the cheaper alternatives.
We picked up an extra channel, and eliminated a fair amount of stuttering on a couple more.
The only downsides to this antenna are 1) cost, but it's still cheaper than a single month of cable and 2) I wish the cord detached at antenna end so I could use a coax able of custom length.

The antenna brings in an exceptionally clear picture. It's slim design allowed me to put it in the window and is not seen at all from inside the room. Of course I didn't get many of the stations that I would liked to have had, but the antenna is not facing in the proper direction for a signal that would probably bring in more channels. However, I get the major free channels and many others. It is a great antenna for a bedroom or extra guest room. I would recommend this antenna to someone that needs really good reception on a spare television.

I tested this first at my primary residence, where it picked up about as many stations as was predicted by one of those cord-cutting websites. So, we were off to a seemingly good start. We have a second house tucked away in a remote area, where the same website predicted the reception of two or three over-the-air stations. Unfortunately, we did not receive any stations despite trying different angles and locations in this house. This is actually the third antenna we've tried for our vacation house (we really just want to pick up one or two local channels so we can watch news in the evening when we're staying up there for a few days) that has not picked up any signal -admittedly, this place is pretty far out there in the sticks in a small valley, about 30 miles away from the nearest transmitter- so I did return it. But I did give four stars because it pretty much receives all the stations it could in our primary residence, which is near two decent-sized metropolitan areas.

Let me start off by saying, I first was looking for a product that would work without being able to see it. This is just that! I have it on the back of my television , in the middle of the room. Don't even know it's there. Love it. Works as expected, haven't tried any other products so don't know how others match up, but this works perfect. The price is a little high. Used reward points so didn't really notice to much, but I guess that what you have to pay for something covert

I purchased this product for my own use and had very good success reaching stations within the radius. It can be slightly less efficient during storms but it's only temporary. I returned and purchased a second product for my daughter. They are also pleased with the results. The antenna can lie flat or easily pin to the wall if better reception required.

I got the antenna based on the sales clerks recommendation. I got rid of cable because it was too much money and got the antenna to at least get basic channels since I already have Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu. Yeah, sometimes the signal is not that great and it is hard to get channel 7 (ABC) but overall a good buy.

We bought this so we could have reception without signing up for cable TV and we're pleased with this solution. We are able to receive about 15 channels, including ones we couldn't have gotten on cable, which have been very entertaining. Reception varies slightly with weather conditions but mostly, it's clear and consistent.

Antennas depend on your location and potential barriers to the satellite signal. This particular antenna met our needs with 5 channels that come in clearly. Change the location and I may get 10-15 more, maybe. Product is made well and is easy to use.

First I hung the antenna in the window and it worked okay. After a few days I took it into my attic to place it higher and I was able to wire it right into my old cable TV wiring. It worked great. After a month I moved it a bit higher and adjusted it a bit more and it works even better. I did not know there was so much on broadcast TV. I also bought a little digital converter for my analog TV that also records right to a flash drive. I am thrilled to have gotten rid of my cable. I also bought a Roku for Internet streaming. I spent under $200.00 altogether in gear and I am saving $140.00 per month.

I was surprised by the reception, previously I had a big plastic antenna that took up space around the TV, while tailgating, but never really delivered a quality picture that was constant. I have been please with this product both in and outdoors.

I have been using antennas for my TVs for years. Terk ultra slim is easy to use, fits on the wall, bookshelf or window. I wish the cord was longer.

At first I thought this was going to be great! I put it in a north facing window, just for convenience sake, and was excited when channel scan on our TV picked up 3 or 4 stations clearly, and showed 3 or 4 more good potential stations. The picture would occasionally pause and pixelate, but I felt this would improve when I moved the antenna to a west facing direction, which is the direction from which our signals originate. To my surprise, when I moved it to the westward window, my channel reception decreased! "Well, at least it works on the north window," I thought. However, when I moved the antenna back to a northward window, I only had 2 channels, instead of the original 3 or 4. I don't feel the antenna is a bad product; but is simply not adequate if you are on the fringe of coverage, where the signals are not very strong. I would think this product would be very good in a more metropolitan area, and you certainly can't beat the convenience and size of this antenna.

We are using the antenna in our RV. It is easy to install and we use it inside. I gave it an average rating due to easy interference by person standing in the way of the signal, clothes dryer running, etc.Otherwise easy to store and maneuver.

Works as listed needs to have longer cords to reach further away windows. But does pic up lots for us no need for cable.
