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 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.

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.

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.

This was not what I expected…..it says will receive signals at 50 miles…..unless the sky is clear, in the morning, stations at 15 miles I only get 4 channels……sometimes

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

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 $$$$$$

The digital TV antenna offers excellent quality-Its compact and elegant design allows it to be easily placed anywhere in the home, whether mounted on the wall or resting on a surface. In terms of performance, it captures HD signals from local channels such as news, sports and entertainment, with a very clear image quality. Its range of up to 80 km (depending on the manufacturer) is suitable for suburban or urban areas with good coverage. In real tests, performance may vary depending on location and obstacles, but in general it fulfills what is promised if positioned correctly. I recommend it 10 out of 10

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 was skeptical, but this antenna really impressed me. Setup was super easy—just plugged it into the TV, placed it near a window, and scanned for channels. I’m getting 60+ channels in full HD (even some in 4K), and the picture is crystal clear. It’s small but sturdy, and the magnetic base makes it easy to position. Even during bad weather, the signal has stayed strong. Definitely worth it if you’re cutting the cord and want to stop paying for cable.

I purchased this to watch Football on TV. So far my antenna works great! I have not needed the electronic booster either. I was able to pull 40+ channels over the airwaves. My channels with the antenna are more clear, crisp/clean than my streamlined videos, such as HULU, Prime, HBO, Netflix, etc. The antenna BLOWS them away! My impression is, it's because there are less interference variables. It's a source-source solution, less travel and no depending on internet connectivity, other servers (signal to server to internet to appliance to TV), etc. That's a lot of movement from one place to the next. With an antenna, its airwaves to TV. I have this set up in my condo and it's next to the front door which is glass. This being said, there are times when I have the front door open ( with nice weather) it interferes with the signal, in which case I simply move and re-position the antenna. Prop Tip: I noticed other reviewers who mentioned that they were unable to receive ANY channels. Unless you're in the middle of Montana or Wyoming without ANY towers within many miles, This is nearly IMPOSSIBLE!! Unless you do not have any windows and or live in a brick and motor environment, or are surrounded by trees (anything that impedes Radio Frequency). Understand not everyone is electronic savvy. It is important to know that you will typically have to go into the "menu settings" of your TV and conduct a "channel search" or "Scan Channels", which will search digital TV, analog, antenna, cable channels. Most of the times, these antennas are not plug and play solutions when it comes to sophisticated TV's/monitors. You need to tell it what to do, essentially activate it. Regardless if you receive channels as soon as you plug it in, I still recommend conducting a search via your TV menu. I'm confident you will receive more channels! My apologies for such a long review, but I wrote this as if my mother was buying one and needed direction. She would never know to go into the TV menu and conduct a channel search. My impression is, these directions are in the user manual. Being electronic savvy, I honestly threw it away upon opening the box. Anyway, I hope this helps. I bought two of these. The 2nd is stuck to my bedroom window. Good Luck!!

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!

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 can’t believe I didn’t try this sooner. I made the assumption that because I’m in an apartment building where it looked like I wouldn’t have reception, it wouldn't work and never even considered trying. Prior to this I owned a home in another state and went without TV for 3 years due to a serious falling out with an infamous cable provider--I'm a senior on Social Security, ergo a tight budget and they jacked up my charges every month by 50% to force me to resign a contract. I had tried a different brand of antenna in my former house, which didn’t work—apparently because it had aluminum siding--so hadn't a lot of confidence this time around. (In case this is helpful: In my area there was a free online site that provides tv schedules for those without cable and there are sites with helpful hints about using antennae, which upped my confidence. When you click on the show you're watching, the tv brings up info about that show and earlier and later ones on each channel, which is a help as well. I don't know if this is a function of smart tvs but that seems likely.) Luckily, friends I visited where I now live, who are pretty tech savvy, have gone this route and really encouraged me to do the same. They live in a home outside the city, so I wasn't completely confident but decided to check this out again. So, I did some research and felt comfortable that I was likely to be happy with this brand and the Ultra-thin Digital HDTV Antenna, with a range of 130 miles. If you're concerned about the installation: I’m a 73-year-old 5’ female with ‘devastating’ damage to both shoulders--typing this was quite painful--and I still had no problems installing the antenna. Easy Peasy. Plus, it didn't interfere with the DVD player that is still attached. I did try removing the amplifier, counter-intuitive, but was suggested, and the reception immediately improved. What surprised me was that it also worked much better lying flat, right under the tv. I moved the cable modem (for internet) a bit farther back, as that did seem to cause some interference, as the instructions indicated. At that point the picture equaled cable on all stations without wavering. (Today's cable requires a modem but you can purchase your own to eliminate the monthly rental fees, which my friends have done. I'm waiting until I move to see if I should do that.) I can’t believe how long I went without tv before. I’m getting almost as many channels as I got on cable at the low tier I had, but also more PBS channels than cable (one has ‘world’ programming) and a couple more new stations that are fun. The only ones I’ll miss when I drop off the cable set are The Weather Chanel and C-Span but they’re not worth the money I’ll save. I’m in a tough location and the picture is still great, so I’m expecting this to get even better when I move. And, the reception is equal to cable, which really surprised me. (I have a Roku TV.) On the very few stations where the reception is weak, I tweak the antenna and they're fine. My friend had suggested I add tv service to my bedroom, as it’s painful to lie down so I put off going to bed until—well, it’s 5:30 am right now... (With tv on in the background, I’ll likely fall asleep better, but, I couldn’t justify the extra modem with cable. The free antenna will really be a great solution.) Re the free antenna offer for a review: If this one wasn't working so well, it would have been better to return it and get a different brand, so that doesn't affect the nature of my review. I've already suggested this to other persons I know who have issues with cable, and, even if you retain your cable, you can bring in extra stations that cable may not include, as I have. I asked one question to their customer service at the address on the card that came with the antenna and they got back the same day. (I was just checking my email--totally out of control at 65K--and located their response, duh.) I plan on updating this with photos in the near future, one of the same station with cable and with the antenna, before I 'cut the cord', which will be in the next few days :)

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’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.
