Once we tried 7 or 8 different positions, we eventually got a good signal for all the stations we expect in our area.

Update-------Ibyone went above and beyond by providing me with a free signal booster to try and see if that will solve my laggy antenna connection

I seem to have to hold it in order to get a good signal.

Works perfectly and gets crystal clear signals for me.

The closest I was to any transmitter was 10 miles, and most were between 15 and 40I used my TV's automatic channel finder to go through and find channels with good enough signal to save

This product functions very poorly and you will actually get a better signal without the use of this antenna.

However, the channels do not always show up very quickly, which may be a function of how strong the signals are and how far away the transmitting towers are from

Various locations of the antennae do very little to improve the signal

Awesome signal, Immediately started to pick up channels the second I plugged it in

This one did not give me consistent signal

He lives closer to the airport than I do, so that may have been the cause for the poor signal.

Actually a good signal and made with quality

Signal is interrupted if the antenna is bumped or moved but clears up once the antenna isn't moving.

and his antenna couldn't pick up any strong signals

By putting this antenna near the window, my HDTV received more channels than before, and the signal is stable

Product is OK but signal is not steady

works ok not very strong signal

it gets great signal and its lasted quite a while now.

I loved this antenna at first, but didnt even last more than 3 months before it started losing channels, signal was terrible, and everything just seemed to start fading in quality, I live pretty close to the tower, and in direct sight of it, so distance should not be an issue.

You'll need to move the antenna around before you get the optimal signal

I live downtown, and according to the FCC website I live 3-4 miles from the broadcast stations and should have a perfect "strong" signal on every channel

Easy to lose signal.

Often displays a choppy signal when it does find one.

I get they all works well, signal is steady, I like.

I had considered buying one for myself but based on a website I checked, it said no signals were available in my area, and I'd need an outdoor antenna

Loses signals very often but the seller is prompt on offering alternatives like amplifier and refund!

We live in the city limits and receive strong signals from all the television stations so I can't vouch for it's range but the price was

Not every antenna works for everyone and this cheap antennas only receive signals from a very short area

And when the scan was finished I was amazed how clear the signal was

Easy to install and Good signal

We live in an urban area so the signal itself is pretty strong, but not strong enough that we could get network channels without this :) Super price, too.

In that scenario, if you still use 50 miles antenna with amplifier, it skip the nearest strong signal and pickup weak far signal

and I bought this to improve on some of the channels for which I get weak signal

I replaced my old rabbit ears with this in the hopes of getting a better signal and the assurance of a lower-profile.

Gets a great HD quality signal!!

With my own antenna ... every signal is strong

It pulls in signals from about 30 miles away and only fails for a minute when there is heavy rain outside.

This is a perfect way to get strong signal for your local television channels, and so affordable!

In my case, the atenna needs to be close to the window to have good signal

It is a little temperamental sometimes on clear days, but we just open our front door and it helps it get a better signal for whatever reason.

We are 8-12 miles away from most of the area transmitters and this antenna pulled in a good signal

In that scenario, if you still use 50 miles antenna with amplifier, it skip the nearest strong signal and pickup weak far signal

Works fine but some stations that are within 25 mile range and have a strong signal sometimes have poor reception so that's why I took one star off...

where we knew it would get a strong signal from the sky

We live in the city limits and receive strong signals from all the television stations so I can't vouch for it's range but the price was

Good signal even if it lies horizontally

Antenna came with 3M double sided tape to affix it to the window near my TV which gave me best signal

The antenna design is great, but I do not have good signal and the channels come in all choppy and do not show up clear

Very weak keeps losing signal

Works great--clear signal

I mounted my antenna on the wall next to my TV with the provided double sided tape and it has provided great a signal strength when watching opening season of football the past Sunday.

I like how slim the antenna is, and when it receives channels the signal is really clear

But over the last year or so, the signal has been weak or intermittent on certain stations

1byone sent an amp out to boost my signal

The best place for the antenna is going to be on a window - for both the adhesive tape and for the best signal.

Very poor signal.

Had to resposition once because the local PBS stations would not come in (said "signal was too weak").

The only stations where I've seen signal degradation problems are broadcasting near the edge of the antenna's range, or from low-budget stations.

When I took the time to actually put some thought into placement, I noticed that picture quality on some channels degraded/improved and I was able to pick several other channels that had weak signals.

I have always gotten s good signal in analog with the OTA

We live in The suburbs about 13 miles from downtown, and this second story location with the antenna merely lying flat on a shelf in the entertainment cabinet has no problem pulling in a picture perfect signal from all the major channels and the sub channels associated with each

Can't believe this small area for antenna can provide such a great signal

We live in an urban area so the signal itself is pretty strong, but not strong enough that we could get network channels without this :) Super price, too.

Is not easy to find a good signal

Worked fine where I had a strong signal to pick up.

just plug it into your TV and experiment with where you get the best signal

Even with no amplifier and installed right against the screen it had a perfect signal.

I live in the city, so there should be plenty of signal available

My TV has an option to see the signal strength, and with that showing, I moved the antenna to find the strongest signal

If you have medium to strong signals from local TV stations, reception should be no problem.

I'd say about 15 of those were of a poor enough quality signal not to be watchable

Surprisingly good signal for an unamplified antenna

I'd say about 15 of those were of a poor enough quality signal not to be watchable

Very good signal perception

Better picture quality than cable and a free signal.

I changed the placement three times Looking for a better signal

The signal this thing gets is horrible!!

but I can slide the antenna on my curtain rod to find the best signal.

signal strength not bad, getting all the basic news channels I need to drink with my coffee/

That being said I'm sure mounting near a window helps, bUT most of the time the signal is just fine

All of my channels now have a great signal

Horrible signal, cuts out every time a car drives by the house

I do live near downtown Chicago, so, antenna picks up a great signal.

Found an old antenna in garage, got much better signal.

UpdateAfter switching rooms inside the same apartment, I went from having a fair signal to completely nothing

We live in The suburbs about 13 miles from downtown, and this second story location with the antenna merely lying flat on a shelf in the entertainment cabinet has no problem pulling in a picture perfect signal from all the major channels and the sub channels associated with each

I have always gotten s good signal in analog with the OTA

It does not as well as I

This thing isn't really picking up the signal as well as I'd hoped

+easy to install+worked as

I was skeptical on the price of this as well as how it would work considering I live in a garden level

Works as it should and I get about 10 local channels in my area

The placement was not as critical as with the old antenna and reception is more reliable

Several of the stations in my area broadcast HD and I get pictures just as crisp as when I had Xfinity.

Just as clear as if I had HDTV cable
