Probably 10 minutes total, including reading the instructions and scanning for channels and best location to mount the antenna on the wall.

The 12' cord also isn't particularly long if your television is in one place but the best location for the antenna isn't near

more!I know if I were in a better location I'd have way more channels

double sided tape.*The trick is to locate the optimal position for the antenna (I used a piece of scotch tape to help repositioning) on a wall, window, cabinet, etc. for best reception PRIOR to sticking the double sided tape on the antenna to secure it in place.*Even though, the Sure Grip double sided tape is reusable, it loses some of its stickiness after repeated uses.*The goal is to find the best location that faces the broadcast towers through trial and error.

Performance:*All major HDTV channels are coming in clear with no interruption or loss of signals although some of the more distant channels still experience some disruptions.*Reception equivalent to my old HDTV antenna setup but much easier to place at the right locations due to lighter, thinner, flexible, antenna

Windows are typically the best location to place the antenna since signals travel better through them than walls

As much as I would love to “cut the cord”, my location pushes the limits of most indoor antennas I’ve used.

We have a difficult location with trees btw

Keep in mind that a larger antenna will not necessarily provide a better signal; it’s all about proper location, being pointed toward your local broadcast tower, and the signal strength of your area

It took me a while to figure out where the best location for this is and once I

Note: the best location was obtained through trial and error in finding the best reception (ended being the third floor of the house).

As much as I would love to “cut the cord”, my location pushes the limits of most indoor antennas I’ve used.

Perhaps if I relocated to another spot (its on a window facing the north and location of broadcast towers) it wouldn't scramble

It's got a nice looking design, and being paintable means you can put it in a more conspicuous location without it standing out quite as much

Don't waste your money on this over priced antenna as you can do as well or better with the cheaper ones

This particular Antenna DOES NOT work as

I'm going to try again in the suburbs near my office to see if it works any better there, as I want this to work as it has potential given its small size and easy hook up.

Amazing I get more than 40 channels including all the major networks and PBS stations
