Firmrock TV Aerial Newest,Freeview Indoor TV Aerial,50 Miles Digital TV Aerial 0.5mm Ultra Thin HDTV DVB-T2 Aerial with 12 FT Long Cable

OK, this aerial is not amplified and it doesn’t come with a detachable amplifier booster as the description and diagrams both imply; so it shouldn’t say that. However, it is quite good without being amplified. It worked exceptionally well for me. I’m very impressed. I have actually replaced an old amplified aerial with this one and it works fine, one less item to plug into the extension socket.The instructions could be better. Telling you to buy a set-top box if the aerial doesn’t work is annoying and stating the TV needs a HDTV tuner is not necessary. It works well with any ‘Freeview’ channels, whether they are HD or not.I’ve got 3 TVs using indoor aerials in different rooms, upstairs and downstairs. I tested in on all them and it worked well, so I will probably buy 2 more.In my case, the TVs were already tuned in via the old aerial and this makes it much easier to find the best location for the new aerial. You just plug in the new aerial and move it around until you find the best position for it (although it seems tolerant of most positions).The aerial cable is surprisingly thin for co-ax (if it is co-ax) but it works and made it easier to connect to a TV mounted flat to the wall. The aerial socket came out horizontally and the aerial lead has to bend sharply because of the confined space. The thin aerial lead made this a lot easier.The aerial is not freestanding and comes with a sticky pad to attach to a wall or window. So, make sure it’s in a good location before sticking it on because it is probable committed. It will receive lying flat in some locations. It is very light and about as thick as a credit card.UPDATE DEC2020Well, I’ve just bought my 3rd one of these and can confirm they are all amazingly good. I’ve just replaced a powered amplified aerial with this unpowered flimsy bit of plastic card and it performs better. I can just throw it flat on the desk, literally, and it gives good reception. How can it do that? These Chinese are very clever.I would say that if this doesn't work for you then no indoor aerial will

Great item works great highly recommend this product

Great does the job.

Horrific, total waste of money,

Great value easy to install and it's got great length

Why did you choose this product over others?:Nit a great range but still got some channels

Perfect picture for a very cheap price. Easy to locate and reasonable cable length. I am 14.5 km from tv mast so I didn’t need anything amplified.

I think many people who leave negative comments on this item (or similar aerials items sold on Amazon [but this is the only item I have tested, with success] fail to do one simple thing: take the time to go to TV settings and re-tune/ search (or "refresh") the channel list. I picked up over 100 channels upon re-tuning, which is absolutely fantastic (thinking originally, it did not work). Again, upon re-tuning, I picked up 100 plus channels (you read that correctly, including radio stations, well, certainly 127+... I'm not exaggerating, even if I repeat the point for emphasis!).Customer service is exceptional and friendly (response within 24 hours... hmmn... so how come [all UK internet/ broadband providers lie to us by pretending they are offering value for money and being generous in claiming [in my recent dispute Virgin Media ("VM"), and other providers before that] that they will give me 70 channels as part of my "basic" package, when this arial picks all of those channels up (examples: Dave/ Challenge/ oh.. all of QVC and that stuff), and then many more: i.e: channels VM don't even provide on their basic service (such as Sony movies, etc.). I didn't know these many channels existed on freeview! You are being robbed people (by the major UK oligarchy of internet/ TV providers!). Furthermore, VM and other providers never bother to reply to any email I have ever sent - unlike this seller.Just to point out: you cannot just plug this into a TV you have had for years (probably receiving analogue rather than digital signal) and expect this item to work (as was the case with old analogue aerials) - you actually have to spend a short amount of time to position this to get optimum reception. This item saved me buying an external roof-top arial, paying for someone to install that (and also including the cost of cable and drilling that through my walls, etc.) and hence, saving me from a lot of major hassle, and all for £9.99? Unbelievable!Inevitably, if you live in an area with poor reception (very rural/ near obstructed, etc.) this product may not work, but if so, it's absolutely ridiculous to blame this item, particularly in view of its low cost.
