Did not work for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After reading the other reviews about about this antenna, I decided to give it a try. It did not pick up any channels on the wall I needed to attach it to. It may have worked on another wall, but with the tv I was using it with, I didn't have an option.

Missing Channels
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While the antenna was lightweight and easy to install, it would have been better if I got all of my local channels.

Did not work for me.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I gave one star because channel 9 did come in good. However, that was about all I got. Returned it.

Outstanding reception
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked up this antenna just to see if I could receive over-the-air broadcasting, contemplating a more elaborate and more expensive roof antenna if so. There is no need to get the roof antenna, this one has outstanding reception simply from inside my living room... in the mountains at Lake Tahoe. (The wall faces direct line of sight to the Reno broadcasting towers 30 miles away). The quality is better than the high priced cable service, which I promptly cancelled. Plus no more local station surcharges or regular rate increases or set top boxes. And I used existing cable wiring in the house to provide the split signal to TV's in all rooms. Very cool and I'm saving boatloads of money previously wasted on cable.

Poor Reception
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We put the antenna behind the tv but only a few stations were received. Maybe it would have received more stations if attached to the window. We didn't want the wire showing across the wall to the window.

greta product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cancelled cable service about two months ago, and connected the coaxial cable to my old outdoor antenna on the roof. It worked ok for a while (did not get ABC, and Fox was sporadic), but in the last month the signal was on and off (had to go to the roof and shake the antenna several time every day). So I bought this product and I am surprised how good it is. I am getting more channels than with my old outdoor antenna including ABC and FOX perfectly. Somehow and this is a mystery I get ESPN and BBC channels (in different Ch # than when I had cable), lol. Great product.

Worth every penny
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this becasue my wife and I have just cut the cord and needed something to watch the local stations. I picked this one because I like the extra long cord, allowing me to place the antenna a good distance from my Tivo to make sure I was getting really good reception. It works perfect with a Tivo, and other than one local channel (due to the placement of the station antenna and a hill by my house) on bad weather days, I get killer reception.

Great Indoor Antenna
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was finding myself constantly moving my antenna just to be able to watch certain channels. Some channels would not even tune. This antenna picks up 10 additional channels and I have not had to move it around at all.

MONEY SAVER!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really skeptical whether this antenna would work well enough to get rid of my over priced satellite TV service. I hooked it up and I get plenty of channels that come in perfectly. I can finally eliminate $135.00 a month bill. YaHoo!!! It's as easy as plug & play!

Great Indoor Antenna
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had a highly rated indoor/outdoor antenna for a few years. It works very well. I was able to put this Winegard antenna in a better position because it is more visually pleasing. In its current position is works at least as well as the other antenna. I would definitely purchase this again.

Even better than promised!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We recently moved to a small rural town and decided to "cut the cord" by getting all our TV from Netflix, Hulu Plus, and iTunes. I also decided to add an outdoor antenna in order to receive broadcasts from TV stations in the Washington, D.C., area about 60 to 70 miles away from my home. I consulted with an "expert" and was told that no antenna would work -- not so much because of the distance but because of the mountain range between my house and the broadcast towers. Based on that, I decided to purchase the Winegard FlatWave Amped Indoor Amplified HDTV Antenna so I could watch the three or four regional stations broadcasting from Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. I was STUNNED by the results! Despite my remote location, the Winegard picked up all the regional channels plus more than a dozen others from the D.C. and Baltimore areas! The pictures are crystal clear and very stable. I never expected such amazing results from a small indoor antenna and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to eliminate cable or satellite TV expenses.

Didn't work for me
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this antenna after researching my options. I just wanted to be able to pick up the local channels in HD since my cable company took them away. I am only about 30-35 miles away from the broadcast towers. I thought I would be in range. However, due to hills between my home and the broadcast towers, I couldn't get most of the channels. The antenna did have better results upstairs. I have opted for an outdoor antenna from the same manufacturer.

Small and effective
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We use this with our Tablo and were able to receive all the expected broadcast channels in our area (via the guide). It is compact and while mounted in our window does not inhibit the use of the window at all. I am very happy with the price and appearance of this item.

Not as I had hoped, not adequate for my needs.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in the Pensacola, FL area. I did quite a bit of research, checked established review sites as well as customer reviews. Reviewed the specifications to make sure that I should be within good range of my local broadcasts towers and compared them with FCC signal strength data (http://transition.fcc.gov/mb/engineering/dtvmaps/) Keeping in mind that FCC signal strength data is based on outdoor antennas mounted 30 feet above ground. This antenna seemed to be the best choice per all the reviews for someone who has no choice but to use an indoor antenna and the specifications indicated that I should be well within range of a "strong" signal given my distance to my local broadcast towers. Unfortunately it still does not perform up to expectations nor needs. Two primary network broadcasts in my area (FOX and CBS), among others, are not strong enough to provide a viable signal using this antenna.
