Even if you use cable TV service you still need this in an emergency. Hurricane season here in Florida means we lose electricity during the storm and it could extend for days. Even with a generator for our electric needs - refrigerator, lights, etc., you cable TV will not work as that service is dead in the community. This small device connects to the back of your TV - no matter the size - just connect the small unit with supplied cord to the TV’s coaxial connection. Place the unit on top of TV or nearby and (with TV power via generator or battery supply) scan available channels. In our case we got all the network channels including the local ones that offered hurricane updates. This worked great and will always be our hurricane kit supply cabinet. Other than our use, it could also substitute for your cable service - works good enough to “cut the cord” and get local network channels.

Amazing inexpensive antenna! We recently canceled our expensive cable tv service, but we still wanted local channels for news. After much research into tv antennas, roof mounting locations, attic mounting locations, etc., I eventually got frustrated and just ordered this inexpensive antenna, thinking if it didn't work we wouldn't be out much money. Connected the antenna to my Samsung smart tv and placed the antenna on an adjacent shelf, on an interior wall in the middle of our house, not even close to a window. Boom, about 12 channels with perfect clarity! More channels than I expected. We were so impressed we ordered a second antenna for another room, and it to works great too. I would highly recommend this antenna to anyone interested.

Excellent product. Got rid of expensive cable over a year ago. Tried this inexpensive antenna just to see if I wanted to go this route before purchasing a more expensive antenna. This one worked great. So, I purchase a second one for my smart tv. It works even better, picking up a large number of channels. Was told at a department store channel “2” is extremely difficult to get. I get it on both tv’s. I will be purchasing another antenna for my tv that is not a smart tv because some of the channels have started going in and out and I have to reset the antenna. I definitely believe that’s because it’s a much older tv.I definitely would recommend.

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.

These days it seems you have to choose which streaming channels you won't get because of contract disputes. My present streaming carrier is in a contract negotiation with another that carries some local channels. i bought the antenna to receive those missing channels since who knows how long it will be before that's resolved if ever. I was skeptical buying it at it's low price point. What channels did I get: I wasn't expecting too much so it exceeded my expectations being able to receive all of the major broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, PBS) plus others for a total of 60 or so. I wasn't too excited about the extra channels besides the major networks since most were shopping networks and others of low interest (to me). If you're looking to cut streaming costs you certainly can with an antenna, but expect to watch only major networks for the most part. important disclaimer: My address is only 3-4 miles away from broadcast towers. Although I can recommend this unit for others who live close to towers I can't speak to how it works at the longer ranges. You should check the digital TV map from the FCC before deciding which antenna to get as the vendor suggests. The install was easy on my fairly new Roku TV. If you have one of those choose the Live TV icon and it will lead you to the programming of the antenna channels. Once that's done the antenna channels will appear among the list those Roku offers from the internet. Afterwards you can set favorites so you don't have to scroll through all of those channels and limit them to those of interest from the antenna. I was pleased to find the Roku remote will toggle the antenna options which was something I was unsure of. The antenna itself is similar to a small flag. I attached mine to the back of a cabinet door that was over the TV. I suppose with my towers being close i didn't need to attach it to a window to get good results as was suggested in the instructions. Since I just installed it today I also can't speak to longevity but i also don't see too much there to break. Will wait to see on that.

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 $$$$$$

When I opened the box I kinda thought is this some kind of joke so I thought about it and maybe I should give it a try out I was surprised and skeptical at first this cigar shaped little antenna was good at picking up over the air channels. I was able to pick up 80 channels I live up on the tenth floor and my window frames are made of steel since the antenna has a magnetic bottom base I was able to stick on the side of the window frame then I programmed the the over the air set up am very pleased with this antenna I have to give five stars because it works great even on windy days and rainy days and nights absolutely fantastic I was surprised.

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.

As a first-time antenna user, I was expecting a complicated setup. However, this digital antenna for smart tv indoor proved me wrong! The setup process was incredibly simple—just plug it in and follow the brief instructions. Within minutes, I was enjoying HD quality channels like ABC, CBS, and NBC. I was able to scan for more than 70 channels, all of which had clear reception. It’s the perfect option for anyone who wants an easy, cost-effective way to watch TV.

We cut our tv fiber optic service. All we really watched was our local news channel. So glad we got this indoor antenna! Brings in all the local channels plus a lot more. Very pleased!

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

I downgraded my Xfinity cable plan to the Now TV package for $20/month, which doesn’t include any local stations. I rarely watch live TV and primarily DVR cable shows and use various streaming services. However Jeopardy is the one show on local TV I don’t miss, which I usually record and watch at my convenience. The savings on my cable bill was well worth the inconvenience of tuning in live when I could because current Jeopardy episodes aren’t available at all. Unless of course I subscribe to Hulu Live, YouTube, or one of the other platforms but those plans are significantly more than $20. Unfortunately, buying an antenna wasn’t the easy solution I had hoped it would be. I purchased and returned two antennas that claimed to cover several hundred miles but did not pick up one channel living in a heavily populated city with tv towers less than 15 miles away. I was about to give up on my plan and choose to pay for convenience, but I read on some tech site that this antenna was legit. I was skeptical but I was excited when I started the tuning search and several channels came up. I only cared about one and the one I wanted showed up perfectly clear. I attached it to the window behind the blinds and it’s not even noticeable. I wanted to test it out for a couple of weeks before writing a review, and so far so good. Needless to say, I’m very happy with this purchase. It literally is saving me hundreds of dollars a year.

After cutting the cord here in Cleveland, OH we had a difficult time receiving two of the national channels with a flat antenna we purchased. We were ready to give up but we thought we would give it another chance and purchased another antenna. We came across this amazing antenna on Amazon that was small in size but had wonderful reception and quality sound. A quality item that looks great and allows flexibility in placing the unit anywhere you want. We couldn't be happier.

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 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.

This TV antenna is a great choice for families with children. It not only provides clear and reliable signal reception for all your favorite TV channels, but it also helps reduce the amount of time kids spend on their phones or tablets. With access to local news, educational programs, and family-friendly entertainment, kids can enjoy screen time that’s more enriching and less focused on handheld devices. The antenna is easy to set up and works in different rooms, so parents can also enjoy catching up on the latest news while the kids watch their favorite cartoons or educational shows. It’s a great way to balance entertainment, stay informed, and encourage healthy screen habits for the whole family.

I am very impressed with the capabilities of this little antenna. It receives all of our local stations and the picture quality is very good. We got an over the air antenna because we lose our satellite signal whenever the weather gets really bad and we need to be able to watch our local weather to stay safe. The reason for the 4 star rating instead of a five star is because when there is very heavy rain between our house and the station we will lose the signal. So far I have been able to move the antenna and I can get the signal to come back in. But that is not the time to be messing with the antenna when a tornado is knocking on your door. I really wish I could find an indoor antenna that won't lose the signal in heavy rain. I also don't want to have to get in the attic to install a large antenna.

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.

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.
