What's great about it: Good price, easy to set up and install, able to pick up all my local channels
What's not so great: Difficult to find a place to put this - rather large footprint when placed flat
I upgraded to a new HDTV and my old rabbit ears didn't work, so I needed to buy a new antenna. After my initial sticker shock for some of the prices, I decided to try this one. It was right down the middle of the road as far as price goes. I plugged it in, scanned for channels, and I was up and running! There are times when the weather seems to play havoc on the signal strength, but overall I'm quite pleased that I only had to spend $40 for this and not $80!! The only thing that bugs me is that this has to sit flat on the shelf next to the TV. I tried to hang it, but lost 2 of my local channels.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Take it out of the box and attach it to the TV
What's not so great: The signal comes and goes
The picture received is great; but signal constantly comes and goes and there's really no way to adjust the attena since it's just a flat box.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wouldn't buy another one, ended-up going cable. If you have trees or are more than 20 miles from a transmission tower this probably won't work for you either.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: No Reception
Getting rid of Dish and thought I would try it out. It brought in a total of only 3 channels! Since its been over 30 days, I was told that I couldn't bring it back. When I bought it, I was told in the store that all antennas were the same. When I came to take it back to complain, they told me they were all different or you might have a cheap TV tuner in your TV. Sorry Best Buy, you lost my business and this product is junk! TOTAL JUNK!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: Doesn't work.
Tried this and lost almost half the stations I had with an 40 year + antenna in the attic (but on that one not all channels came in clear). Even on major channels this one fades in and out...frustrating. Tried a step up with an amplified and that didn't do anything either.
Am now trying the most expensive high gain indoor antenna that BB carries...we'll see.
Am really bummed because I don't want to lay out $500/year for cable or satellite when I don't watch that much TV.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good price. Easy use. No "rabbit ears". Blends into wall.
What's not so great: I'm too far away for one of my local stations.
I'm a little further than the recommended range for this antenna. That said, reception is great for all my local stations except 11.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I went into store having looked at top rated products and I now have found out this one was way down the list. Sales person pushed this product. I was not satisfied with reception and will return today. Now I know why this is BB #1 selling antenna and it isn't reception. I feel like I have to make wasted trip to store to find the antenna I need.

+No adjusting rabbit ears every time you change the channel.
+Sits flat or hangs- minimal space needed
+Picture seems clearer than rabbit ears
-I'm not sold on digital tv over analog (nothing to do with the antenna)
My TV is in the basement of my house, so there is a bit of interference at times, but usually goes away after a minute.
