I live on the 25+ floor of a building in the Financial District in NYC. This product has worked great for me, picking up lots of channels almost perfectly. The HD channels show clearly and I rarely have issues with the signal cutting out.

My sister uses this in the heart of Manhattan (she was previously using a paperclip, heh). She gets all channels 100% clear, although a little bit of adjustment to get both CBS and NBC at the same time. No problems. Coax cable ix very long, sticky pads work well. Highly recommended.

This antenna was perfect for my needs, the only thing is that since I live in a small valley, I had to buy an amplifier to get a few channels.

The antenna seems to work well when the weather is good. When there are impending storms or bad weather, it does not work well with a lot of picture freezes.

I got this to try cutting cable, but it wasn't able to get any channels clearly enough to watch. Your results will likely vary, but I had to return this for an amplified antenna.

Best Indoor Antenna

This is the 4th antenna I've tried and by far the best. Your experience may vary due to proximity of towers, natural obstructions or even competing signals in your home. Note that all indoor antennas do seem to be affected by cell phones, wi-fi, and electrical wiring to varying degrees. This is what I found in the Los Angeles region:
Passive rabbit ears: 108 channels, tons of interference and pixelation
Amplified rabbit ears: 123 channels, tons of interference and pixelation
Mohu Leaf 30: 146 channels, minimal interference
Winegard Flatwave: 154 channels; minimal interference
The Flatwave is able to pick up all channels 2-13 without pixelation, whereas the Mohu leaf 30 was missing 2 major channels, and the rabbit ears missed 4-5 major channels. The Flatwave is also $10-15 cheaper than the Mohu Leaf depending on the sale prices.
The only semi-gripe about this antenna is the thin, non-detachable cable. The Mohu Leaf has a detachable cable for adding a longer and/or better shielded coaxial cable.
Bottom line, this antenna appears to have the best performance for a reasonable price. I highly recommend this product.

Works well if you are within range

I'm in a valley so it is very difficult for me to receive signals. With this antenna, I can receive all the major channels except NBC and PBS which are only 10-15 miles from my home but perhaps it cannot overcome the obstacles in the valley. So it's okay for its range but I need something with a bigger range.

Works OK for close stations

Bought this as I'm trying to cut the cable and it just doesn't pull stations in from more than about 10 miles without moving the antenna around to find the best signal. I'll be trying an amplified antenna next. I'm only 10 - 12 miles from the broadcast antennas/
