    Chaowei DVB66 TV Antenna for Digital TV Indoor - Portable Indoor Outdoor TV Antenna for ATSC Television,PCI/USB TV Tuner - with Magnetic Base

    • It can only receive 5 channels out of the 30 local channels available
    • The instructions tell you that the antenna works best when it is attached magnetically to a piece of metal, but I got clear hd channels even without doing that
    • I should mention it did stabilize a few channels that other antennas did not, so, that's something.
    • Received 45 channels when working for my 7.5 in. portable TV
    • The channels come in clear and it's so nice to have TV that I don't have to pay for anymore
    • Amazing picks up my Local channels as well as a few other channels
    • 12 channels took me paper like one and taped it to the outside storage room door 30 stations the Chaowel DVB66 in the same spot still 12 and we are 14 miles outside of Charlotte NC
    • I don't have to touch this antenna and the 12 channels are always clear and sharp, even in a recent ice storm we had here
    • We live in Suburbia with decent channel reception
    • and since we’re talking digital the channels that do come look great (digital channels, you either get a good picture or you don't, unlike the older analog signals where you could still receive a weak signal that was all showy
    • We live 20 miles from acmajor metropolitan city, and we str getting 50 clear channels
    • Gained 4 channels with this simple antenna
    • Now we get the majority of our available local channels with a fairly good signal
    • After I ran a channel scan, I had 30+ crystal clear channels to choose from
    • All I got was NBC and the CW plus some other pretty unknown channels.
    • Great buy surprisingly works great picked up 42 channels quickly
    • I'm only missing two channels that we wish we had(12 & 15)
    • Very good reception even the channel I usually have difficulty with holding a connection
    • All we did was plug it into the adapter on the computer, and we got clear HDTV channels on the computer
    • Had all available channels within seconds of connecting to TV
    • Also, when I had my TV "Set Up" thing scan for channels on the antenna, other channels did come up, but other LOCAL channels "died"
    • This small but mighty device brought in my local channels so clear and without interruption, and several other channels as well.
    • Remarkable it provides clear channels and signals that was otherwise unavailable.
    • I mean sure the channels aren't great, but that's not the antenna's fault!
    • I was very fortunate to have found 70-80 channels immediately (counting the sub channels like 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, etc.)
    • At least I have one local channel and others are bonus.
    • wow got over 20 plus channels
    • I cut the cord on my cable bill and stream all my movies or tv shows, but i missed live local channels
    • The Chaowei worked great, immediately picking up 11 local channels and doing it very well.
    • However, I think only five of those were even useful, watchable channels.
    • I just placed it on my window sill by the tv, indoors, and did a channel scan and got like 70 channels
    • but I only got 4 clear channels with the rabbit ears and constantly had to reposition that antenna because the TV picture would get scrambled.
    • I only got 5 out of the 20 channels available
    • Reception is very bad, constantly pixelated, some channel would become lost, then appear and other got lost
    • After plugging in this antenna I got 18 channels and all the channels that would go in and out before are crystal clear and never drop out.
    • Being 5% of the size of the other antenna and with no power boost, this brought in channels almost as well.
    • Wasn't sure how well it would work as I have tried others.
    • Extremely well made and picks up all the local stations as good as or maybe even better than the cable connection
    • it works as well as as of the more expensive antennas I have bought in the past
