If you really want to watch some basic channel programming this will do it but may leave you frustrated. Purchased to watch the 2012 olympics in my new house while deciding on cable/internet packages. Picture quality was great. Quickly became frustrated with reception quality due to pausing/skipping of shows. Ended up ordering cable service. Have not tested other antennas so cannot say if my poor experience was due to the antenna or to broadcast quality. If you want to avoid an expensive cable bill it's worth trying out.
What's great about it: Low cost, great picture quality
What's not so great: intermittent reception, picture constantly freezing
