Well, this couldn’t have been any easier. Literally plug and play! Boxed securely, shipped promptly, instructions were clear and easy to follow. I went to my phone to google the transmitter locations of the local stations, used the cable hookup instead of the USB( no reason other than I went to the port I was familiar with…USB would have been really easy tho) I read my TV (Samsung) instructions on how to scan for channels on Live Tv and came up with 46 stations right off the bat. I didn’t pull up Channel 7( Tyler Tx) so I moved the antenna to a different location and came up with 68 stations. Of those 68, 57 were crystal clear the others were just a bit distorted. Not concerned about that at all since the stations I hope to pull in, came in clearly! The antenna can be set to short range and long range. It was on long range out of the box so I just left it there to see what it would do. The area I am in is East Texas Piney Woods and slightly rolling terrain. I am really satisfied with this little jewel. As a bonus for me, it’s so easy to hook up so-we will take it on our travels in the Motorhome. Completely satisfied with this purchase!

I ordered this since we downgraded somewhat on our cable use. We live in a metal building. I had a difficult time setting this up due to this reason. My son taped it to a window near the television and we ended up finding about 10 channels in addition to two local channels which was adequate for what we wanted. reception picture is clear . something to take into consideration is that this is a USB port application not a HDMI. Fortunately the television we wanted this for had USB ports and were able to use. The other television sets did not have USB ports.

I spent a few days exploring my new HDTV Antenna. I must say first that I was amazed at the reception that I got for all the regular over-the-air channels in my area, i.e., CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, PBS, CW plus many more that I didn't even know about. I have tried antennas before but they often pixilate and have sound break up while watching shows. So far all my regular channels have been chrystal clear, but some of the ones I had never heard of did pixilate at times. Now for the specifics. I first hooked up the antenna directly to the TV without all the amplifying extras. It was remarkablely simple. Scanning found 40 channels. I moved the antenna around to see about better or worse sites, but most were good and none got more than 40 channels, but some spots only found 37 but still found all the main channels. I live close to Toronto which is about 65 miles away from the CNN Tower. So I attached the amplifier to see if I could find those channels. I still only get 40 channels, so amplification did not extend as far as their ads suggested. In addition, I noted with amplification, the picture seemed a bit poorer. So I have disconnected the amplification system and I am using just the antenna. It is a wonderful way to get the local channels. I am now looking into FireTV and possibly their DVR which would allow me to record the local channels which is what I mainly record with cable. If all this works I might be able to cut the cord and greatly reduce my expenses for watching TV. What a great product your antenna is for the local channels.

I’m so glad I decided to buy this hd antenna for tv indoor 4k. It provides over 50 channels with excellent reception, and the picture quality is superb in HD. The installation was simple, and the antenna has been working flawlessly in my apartment, even with all the interference around. It’s been a great way to save money on cable while still enjoying all the major networks. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone.

I am so glad I purchased this antenna. I use it with a Hisense smart TV. We are temporarily in an area where we do not have internet access so I thought I try this antenna just to see what channels come up. I was very please to find 73 channels. Picture quality and reception is excellent. The cord is long enough to move the antenna to a good spot to get reception. I definitely recommend. It is so easy to use. By the way, I accidentally dropped it as I was positioning it and it still works well. Very sturdy.

I have not hooked up an antenna in the past 30 years but when my wife wanted local news stations to see the weather reports i knew it was time to get to work. i would need straps for the chimney, enough antenna wire to reach the highest point on my roof and the . i went on Amazon and found this inside solution instead. i plugged it up in a few minuets and let my TV do the found stations setup. it was done and now i have many local stations and i never had to fall off the roof even once or spend more then a few moments reading the instructions and following the set up instructions. I only read those instructions afterwords. It is only then that they make any sense to read and they are for more enjoyable as an evening read afterwords. There is a reason it has a high review, it is easy to set up and brings in a lot of stations without climbing on the roof. I have read more exciting instructions on other products is the only downside i could find. On the upside i will never have to stand by the TV and be the human antenna tuner for my dads away games again to bring it back in after it fades away. Yes, he throws candy as a payment and is now going death and blind as well but on his good days i can catch them in my mouth but those are getting fewer and fewer as i sit besides him on the couch now. That alone makes this working product well worth it in my book.

I bought this TV Antenna with equal parts wonder and dread. I liked the tone of the other reviewers, and I liked the idea of a rocket ship shaped antenna rather than a 10 x 12" sheet you paste in the window. I was unsure how tall the rocket ship antenna was, but it was only 7 inches high. The installation process was very easy for this Senior. Plug it in, scan for channels and see what you get. I am about 18 miles from the broadcasting towers. I live in a house with brick exterior and a tile roof. I was able to get good reception on the major channels, although I am still fiddling with the antenna to get PBS, which apparently uses a different tower. I also got reception to a number of Oldie TV show channels that I didn't know existed. The antenna got the channels I hoped for, and was set up without exasperating me. I was happy enough that I bought the same antenna for a second TV

The lowdown is this antenna works great; it dramatically improved the signal reception / picture quality of the channels I could receive without it, it picked up quite a few additional channels (most with perfectly clear reception), and it's easy to install. I connected it to the "coax/antenna in" port of a VIZIO smart TV (I just cancelled my cable service, so no cable box; if you have cable, you'll probably need to connect it to your cable box--see included instructions). I spent a couple hours testing it out. Without the antenna, my TV can receive 14 channels, but a bunch of them have fairly poor reception--and even the major broadcast stations (ABC, CBS, etc.) flake out when the weather gets bad. When I first installed the antenna (without the amplifier) I just laid it on a chair, and was able to pick up 23 channels. A small group from the same (low power) broadcast station don't come in well, but all the rest are crystal clear; and the HDTV broadcasts are phenomenal--even better clarity than the HD cable channels I had (before I cancelled my cable service last week). After playing around with the location of the antenna (up high on window, on wall near TV), I was able to pick up 2 more channels (25 total)--still no amplifier. When I first connected the amplifier to the antenna (using USB port on TV), I was able to pick up 29 channels! But 10 of those are from two separate broadcasters with low power transmitters (15 kW), and don't come in clear; the rest come in crystal clear; no pixelation or skipping. For comparison, the major networks (ABC, CBS, etc.) broadcast at or near 1000 kW. I played around with it a little more later in the day and was able to pick up another 3 stations (32 total, 22 with excellent clarity). Fortunately using the amplifier in my case didn't result in signal degradation or the loss of any channels, so I decided to leave it connected. For a short while I had the amplifier connected but not powered (meaning I didn't have the USB cable plugged in), just to extend the length of the cord while testing the location of the antenna. I noticed that this did result in signal degradation (which makes sense since the signal had to pass through all that extra circuitry and cable length with no power). So obviously the amplifier doesn't make for a good "extension cord" unless you keep it powered. Overall, the reception with the antenna is excellent compared to what might be expected. So definitely a good purchase.

I am finally done with cable . I did some research on smart tv and antenna to stream local news and NBC ,ABC , and so on . I literally have a guide to look for channels I was unsure of the outcome . And when I installed this HDTV antenna it was the best feeling for me when that picture came up with my local channel and beyond I felt like I hit the lottery. The reception is better than any cable channel I had on my cable provider service. Because the clarity was the most impressive thing I’ve seen with a HDTV antenna. My picture on my tv is so clear the I am canceling a few other subscription channels I purchased for my local news stations and shows that I am saving literally 280.00 dollars a month my last few months my cable company put hidden prices that they were charging me 291.00 a month for cable and boxes and networks I never even watched 90% of them channels and my kid is always streaming our on his PC . Wife only watched oxygen and nbc channels for there shows. Cable was a good thing back in my childhood days but now it’s a different world were cable doesn’t matter to kids and young adults and definitely not my old butt . Only internet connection all i need and a beautiful antenna and my smart tv and I am streaming feeling very young today and even younger tomorrow for the Super Bowl. I hooked up my bedroom, my son’s room and in the middle of getting my big tv in my man cave and running the antenna out my basement window and it’s snowing and it’s scanning more and more channels now that I have it plugged into my smart tv fire tv . I am so excited that I have no more cable bill that I am going to buy a pool table for my cave and another tv to hang behind my bar in my man cave. Hopefully if you read this review you’ll see that if you just take a chance and listen to the younger generation about how to operate the smart tv, and how to stream and if you are able to get a decent setup to stream your pockets and that old antique that’s been in your garage that you’ve been saying to yourself. Can’t wait to start saving money to build my dream car. Well guess what start streaming and your car will be on the road.. Happy Streaming $$$$$$

Living in a remote town with the broadcast towers over 40 miles away, I have to say I'm really impressed with this indoor antenna. It picks up more channels than my name brand, more expensive rabbit-ear antenna. The picture quality has been excellent so far (fewer signal breakups). The antenna comes with a signal amplifier, USB power adapter, velcro adhesive pads and instruction guide. The antenna is matte black on one side and white on the other side. It has the coaxial cable permanently attached to it. The cable is on the very thin side but it's very flexible and less conspicuous when hanging the antenna on the wall. The amplifier looks cheap but does work. It is powered by USB so you could use either the supplied power adapter or the USB port on your TV. There is a green LED on the amplifier, so you know it is powered and working. It is very easy to assemble the antenna but getting a good signal can be tricky depending on your location. Perhaps I'm pretty far from the broadcast towers, the location and orientation of the antenna is very sensitive. It took me 4 or 5 trials to find a sweet spot where I can pick up ABC, FOX and other local channels. All in all, the antenna works great for me. Now I got more channels than before. I'm very happy with it.

I purchases 2 different antennas, this 1 came out as the superior product. I live in a very rural tiny town and using the long range feature, I picked up quite a few channels I'd previously been without. I originally combed over previous reviews and that's how I picked-I was super lucky. I could have spent more-but didn't have to and that alone made me super happy. In addition to living rural, I have extremely little space and this antenna fits perfectly in a small windows sill. I love that it has a long cable-16.5ft-due to my TV is hung on a different wall. Easy install, would definitely recommend.

I bought this for my aunt who just entered a rest home. It was going to cost me $70 just for basic cable, so I decided we need to get free digital tv via the antenna style. We got the U MUST HAVE 250-miles range one and to test it, we attached it to my niece's 10 yr old inexpensive dumb LED TV. My niece installed the antenna's attached coaxial cable and USB plug to the back of her TV and follow the instructions on the package to download the software onto the TV...which took a few minutes to complete..just follow the downloading icon on the TV screen until it is finished. Figuring the higher I place the super light weight flexible antenna the better the reception, I placed it in the window about 8 ft above the ground, it received transmission with clear pictures on the TV screen. However, after I lowered the mini blinds back down, we lost all transmission. I pulled the blinds back up, but still no picture. So I moved the antenna all over the windows, and even behind the TV and on the walls, without any luck. In frustration, I set it down on the sofa and the pictures returned and stayed. In her big city, we received about 20+ channels, including, GRIT (western movies), GET TV (old TV shows), KCAL, and a bunch of PBS shows and shopping channels. However no ABC, CBS, NBC, or sports channels. The shows were either 720p or 1080p depending on the channels. My aunt's place is in the large flat desert region with about a half million residents, so I expect recession to be decent there also, although she may get less channels. I'm hoping she will be able to get the A, C and N channels when it gets install at her place. She doesn't watch anything beyond the basics. I think much of what you get will depend on your location and terrain. For our purpose, it saved us $70 a month to keep her entertained. I wonder how well it works in pine tree mountain communities...anyone? UPDATE March 27, 2021: I changed it from 4 stars to 5 stars because the seller was very responsive to inquiries.

I watched the video about this antenna and thought, great just what I need. When it came I read the directions and it said it should be close to a window. When I connected the antenna I did in fact have to put it up high on my window that just happened to be close to the tv. I don't have any metal on my windows so, I had to hang over my curtain rod. When I put it in this position, I lost 2 channels that wouldn't come in due to a weak signal. Now, I've got this black cord stretched to the window instead of it being stuck to my tv like the video showed. I'm keeping it for now but, the video is misleading.

Not compatible with at least some Samsung sets. It looked promising but only one of the three TVs in different parts of our house picked up any stations at all, even though we have several within 30 miles. The one that did pick up stations got 7, but only one of those was one of the major locals. It turns out that my Samsung TVs have a "DTV Air" feature that it uses to find stations too. Those keep overriding the channel scan. Aside from that, little things that can also make a difference... the coax connector was difficult to turn because of the same-sized plastic covering at the end of the wire. On some coax cables they use a plastic piece to help you grip and turn the end. In this case, the plastic is stationary and leaves very little room to grip and turn the coax connector. My finger and/or thumb tended to be on both so there was a resistance to turning.

There are a couple of things to know: First, with digital TV reception, there are no "shades of grey", that is, the picture is either received and decoded completely and displayed perfectly, or you get pixilation, freezing, or no picture at all. Ads that show fuzzy reception with inferior antennas are bogus. Second, claims of 200, 300 even 400 mile range are ludicrous. Perhaps, if you were located on a mountain top with a clear line of site path between the TV tower and antenna, you "might" see 100 mile range under ideal atmospheric conditions. Run like the wind from any manufacturer claiming these extreme ranges. Amazon should know better and ban this very misleading advertising. Having said all that, I purchased this antenna / amplifier combo and am quite pleased with its performance. I can't speak to it's suitability for outdoor mounting, but it comes sealed in a thin cellophane-like pouch that doesn't look like it would stand up well outdoors, long term. I live on a ridge in a rural area with an unobstructed view of a metropolitan area 40 miles distant. The antenna is located well inside my home, receiving virtually all TV stations in the area, which is to say in that direction with the antenna broadside to the towers there, without the amplifier powered on. You can use the antenna without the amp by simply unplugging the power and the signal will play through. Because I'm in a a weak cell phone area I use signal boosting cell phone amps inside my house. I found that connection a couple of "LTE filters", one on the output side of the antenna and one at the TV's input, I was able to receive a couple of weaker stations that didn't pop up without the filters in line. Strong cell phone signals can interfere with the amplifier's ability to boost weaker TV signals. The same performance boost would probably be the case if you lived very close to a cell tower. Switching in the amplifier made a marginal difference in obtaining a couple of weaker stations, but again, if you are reliably receiving the channels you normally watch there is no reason to amplify their signals. If one or more of these channels is at or near the minimum threshold of perfect digital reception, as evidenced by signal disruption (pixilation) during heavy rain or snow, etc.) having the amp available (in line but powered off until needed) is a nice feature of this combo. Also, if the amplifier is used with an already strong signal you will overdrive the front end of your TV's tuner and lose the channel entirely. In all, I rate this antenna five star for my particular application.
