Digital TV Antenna for Smart TV,360°Reception,Support 4K 1080p Smart Television,Detachable Signal Amplifier-Signal Booster-HDTV Antenna 10ft Coaxial HDTV Cable, Portable Antenna Indoor

I purchased two of these for a friend in December. I found out that she was paying over $200 per month for a cable package that include basic internet, cable TV channels, and VOIP telephone, and the company refused to negotiate the price. She is low income and basically couldn't afford this, but she thought she was stuck because the other competing company in her area didn't have a hardwired connection to her apartment building. Having just gone through the process of reducing my parents cable/internet bill from $155 per month to $15 per month by changing companies, I set out to help her. First I had to make sure that I could replace each of her services.Internet: I found out that her area was covered by a company (Verizon) offering 5G (wireless) internet service. She opted for the 300MB/s speed. We received the modem/router (no rental fee!), it worked great in her apartment, so she now has hardwired and WIFI home internet connection for a really low base fee (and a 5 year price lock, where her previous cable bill was being increased every year).Telephone: We ordered an Ooma VOIP unit ($100 from the company, cheaper if on sale at other retail locations), hooked it up to her new 5G router, and she instantly had essentially free home telephone service, paying only the required local taxes and fees per month (currently about $6.50 in our location, and which was already previously paying over and above her previous cable bundle price).Television: This is where these HD antennas come in. She had two relatively new TVs in her apartment, both digital ready. She has a Roku device on each, so I knew she could stream a bunch of stuff on those, but I wanted to hook up an HD antenna on both TVs so she could receive all of the local channels as well. Having looked at the Digital TV channel map available at the government FTC website, I had determined that her location should have had relatively good signal strength for about 11 channels, and these included all of the major networks: ABC,CBS,NBC,CW, and PBS. So I figured she didn't need anything super powerful or expensive, especially since she is located relatively high up on the 3rd floor of her apartment building, and so I did a search on Amazon to find the most affordable antennas that should work in her situation. These came up, the few reviews available seemed positive, so I gave it a shot and ordered 2 of them, one for each of her TVs. The antennas arrived quickly (thank you Prime :) ), we hooked them up, and did channel scans on each TV. It should be noted that I did not use the included amplifiers, since the FTC site indicated that signal strength for the channels she needed should be relatively strong, and I didn't want to overload the TV tuners. Even just laying the antennas flat on the table next to the TVs, after doing the scans, she was receiving 31 channels one one TV and 37 channels on the second! I had her store the amplifiers for possible use in the future since they obviously were not needed in her current setup.So, bottom line, we are extremely pleased with the performance of these antennas. For an absurdly low cost, my friend was able to get more channels (with better, HD picture quality!) than she was getting when paying a ridiculously high price for cable, and getting all local channels for free, when previously her cable provider was charging two extra monthly fees, one for local channels and one for local sports programming on those channels. It's a no-brainer folks, make the switch.

Cable is dead! When I realized that I could find 85% of cable content I watch broadcast for free by local stations, I cancelled my $120 monthly subscription and converted my television to receive digital signals. The process could not have been easier: simply unplug the cable coax from the antenna input on the back of the television and attach an indoor digital antenna. Then, locate the programming menu on the remote unit to allow the television to identify and save available digital signals.Warning: you will be stunned by the number of channels available. Not only will your television find your standard local affiliates of the major broadcasters (CBS, NBC, ABC, etc.), as well as what we used to call the UHF stations with offbeat programming, you will also see several new listings adjacent to those channels. For instance, my local CBS station is normally listed as Channel 4, but now, it is 4.1, with a few more channels appearing on 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4. This occurs throughout the spectrum of channels with potentially hundreds of station signals free for viewing.The gold is hidden among the subchannels, where broadcasters present vintage and recent episodes of major weekly series, old and new movies, home shopping and self-help programming, current events and news programs, and foreign language stations. You will find many old favorite shows rebroadcasted and you will discover some shows long since off the air but which are new to you. Many of these shows were padding the schedules of the cable channels for which you were paying big money each month but now they play absolutely free!The magic that makes this happen is the digital antenna you install and that is the reason for my review. I paid less than $10 for this antenna and installed it in 10 minutes – with half that time devoted to unhooking the old cable that used to link me to the Matrix! You can buy more sophisticated digital antennas that cost as much as $150 but the more expensive models simply amplify the same signal received by the cheaper options. The secret is positioning the antenna properly to capture the most signals in one setting.Positioning is much like what we used to do adjusting the old “rabbit ear” antennas on Mom’s old RCA. When you find the location that provides the clearest signal on the set, leave the antenna in that position, and let the set identify and mark all the digital channels it likes most. This little digital antenna has an adhesive pad which secures the device in the ideal spot for reception to ensure consistent visual quality.In addition to the adhesive pad, this antenna comes with plenty of cable to stretch beyond the television monitor, and a few adapters to connect to various antenna ports on the back of the set. At less than $10 per antenna, I bought 5 additional units to use on all the televisions in my house and garage. Now, for less than half the cost of one month’s cable bill, I have hundreds of great channels and a digital screen image far superior than anything I saw on cable.

First, I live in Houston Texas, and have all of the local station antennas within 5 mile of my home.Ordered the products and they arrived quickly.Hooked the up, had the tv auto program, and waited……….And nothing! Nada! Zip! Zilch!Not a single station. I’m not surprised though, this thing looks like a cheap sheet of plastic. It would probably make an ok fly swatter if you glue a stick to it.On second thought, it would only lower the value of the stick.But, if you’re a sucker for cheap crap, and really want one, send me a note and I’ll save you money by gifting mine to you.I’ll even pay for the stamp, just to get this POS out of my house.

Purchased this and it works great! Super easy install and connection. After getting a 2nd TV, hubby bought a more expensive antenna at a big box store, couldn't get it to work at all, returned it and ordered this antenna and it works perfectly! Great product and simple to use!

Reception is good for Fox local, NBC and CBS, not so good for ABC . I live in an area with a distance of less than 25 miles to all of the above. It is very easy to hang on the wall in the right spot, with dual side stickers. The length of cable is an ideal. The signal booster amp has a negative affect, so I am using it without. Overall I am happy with the product.

So it does work well for channels I am able to get. I live within 20 miles from most towers in my area. However, I was not able to get the channels with Hi-V Band, regardless of distance. So for me that's ABC and FOX. I am not sure if others have had issue getting Hi-V Band channels, but I would recommend checking the FCC antenna map for your area to see which channels are Hi-V. If those are the channels you want to watch, I recommend getting a different antenna.
