HIDB TV Antenna for Smart TV Indoor, Digital Indoor HD Antennas with Strong Magnetic Base, Easy Installation, Long Range Reception for Local Channels 4K 1080P, 10ft Long Cables (Black)

This antenna is great! It gets 10 more channels than the Mohu Leaf that I paid twice as much for and another off brand style Leaf that was a little cheaper. The Leafs require an amplifier that I had to buy a multi-plug outlet to provide them power along with my TV and sound bar. This antenna is much easier to use, easier to install, and gets much better results. If I am moving around in the room, the Leaf gets interference from my movements and the signal fades in an out. I also need to move it from time to time, because for some reason the signal stops working in the place it is in or one channel will just stop working and start displaying no signal until I do move it. I do not seem to have that problem with this antenna so far. The picture stays the same no matter what I am doing or where I am at in the room. I can also place it behind the TV and stick the magnet bottom to the TV mount. The Leaf has to be somewhere away from the TV on full display with a wire hanging out to it. I'm really happy I made the choice to try this antenna.

If I would have known how many channels were still available for free, much less how easy it would be to install an antenna, I would’ve done this so so long ago. Ages ago. I barely paid attention to the install instructions, although they were so very easy. No long booklet of 15 different languages, simple steps that were very user-friendly and how to get set up quickly. The antenna itself is smaller than I expected, which I was happy about. I didn’t pay attention to the measurements listed. I thought it needed to be tall for a signal, I thought it was going be some odd looking thing I was going to have in a weird space out in the open. That could potentially look phallic. 😂 When in actuality, it is so small that it blends in with decor that I have around my television and you can’t even see it. I had no issues with having to find a spot for it to be a clear picture. The first place I put it. It worked perfectly with crystal clear reception. I don’t know if this is because I have windows in my living room, but I was just shocked and so happy about how easy it was to connect. The instructions say to have it as high as possible, so right now it is on a bookshelf, but, again, because it’s so discreet in size you can’t even see it mixed in with my bookshelf decor. These streaming companies that charge $90 a month JUST so you can see local news, I don’t understand how it’s legal according to FCC. Which, by the way, I checked, the FCC doesn’t regulate pricing of any kind for streaming services, nor what they offer. That’s another topic, but how is that legal? I’m currently on limited income and canceled all streaming services that aren’t somehow discounted by other membership, etc.. I also had some of my streaming services on auto draft and didn’t realize how expensive they had become. Ignorance is bliss, actually no it’s not. Even when I get into a better financial situation, I will not pay for those streaming services again. I’m able to watch local news, which means I can watch for the tornado warnings that I will have this afternoon. As opposed to some of the other “free live TV” streaming that shows “local news” for, yes, I counted, 22 other cities that mean nothing to my local safety or community. One time investment of $19, vs minimum of $89 a month. No counting the free coverage of some football games when the cheapest o found for just one sports channel was $20 a month. The only semi trick to setting it up was really based on my TV, and it had nothing to do with this product. Even then it just took 2 to 5 minutes of patience and reading through the e-manual on my Samsung. Hint: you have to find the feature that has your television search for all updated channels, no matter the connectivity. I also thought that I would have to change the source or input on my remote when I wanted to watch local TV from the antenna coverage, no it loaded into my TVs free channel lineup. So no flipping over even from source/input. Wish I would’ve done this years ago, and certainly will keep it no matter when better financial days 🙏🏻 come my way.

surprised with how well it works...set up was easy and able to get all the main channels for free (ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS) there are times when the frequency drops which is why I am giving it 4 stars but for the price, it is well worth it despite the minor glitches.

This antenna works!! You don’t have to put it outside! I simply screwed in the coax to the back of my TV then went to my toolbox in my TV and generated a channel list. It found 49 stations!! after that all I had to do was hit the TV button on my remote and the stations came in nice and clear. It is as plug and play as it gets and works fantastic. “ note” if you live out in the boonies, I’d recommend going to the FCC website putting in your exact address and see what stations are available in your area. Those are the ones that this will pick up that are in the green zone.

I bought two antennas at once. This one and the big flat panel with amplifier. The area I live in is quite a distance from the UHF stations. Both antennas work great for the VHF lower channels but for the UHF channels the flat panel missed channels above 26. This little antenna received all of these channels with no pixelation. So this small antenna works better in that frequency range. I therefore bought two more of these to be used if we lose our cable signal. This antenna works great proven that I purchased 3 of them total.

I bought this as a backup since we mostly stream but still like to access local channels. On the TV in my bedroom, it barely picked up anything. The antenna I was replacing (I was trying to get even better reception) found 52 channels. This one found 0 channels. I was ready to return it, but I tried it on a different TV and it worked much better there! Even so, placement makes a huge difference. I have to move it around to get consistent reception and some channels come in stronger than others. Once positioned correctly, it works— but it’s not something you can just plug in and forget about. It’s helpful if you have something magnetic to stick it on. Otherwise, forget about it. If you DO have something magnetic (window frame, picture, frame, etc.), it does stick great and is what gives you more range! It feels well made and heavy, not flimsy like some of them out there, and I really wanted this little guy to work. 🫤 For occasional use, it’s fine —if you depend on an antenna daily, you may want something stronger. If you don’t want a wire hanging out and going across the room, this is not the antenna for you.

I was getting no channels! I purchased this and got 30 channels when I scanned.

My previous antenna works much better than this device. I would like to increase the number of channels but the opposite happens with this product. Not recommended.

Acceptable product

Esta antena me parecía muy poca utilidad por su tamaño tan pequeño al mirarla fuera de la caja de embalaje, cuestión de tiempo para instalarla que fue muy rápido y me pareció bastante buena idea aberla adquirido la recomiendo por su alcance y sobre todo el excelente precio gracias

After cutting cable costs, I owned a Mohu antenna for 5 years. I have tried other antenna to replace it. This is by far the best reception & easiest to mount on its magnetic base . I face north away from the CN Tower and reception is clear picking up 8 channels. The most that I would ever watch CTV, TVO , Global ,City and Radio Canada all as clear even the best cable. I also pick up 3 ethic channels but do not watch them. If I still had cable I would have had to pay for them irrespective. The simple coaxial cable is so easy no need for a UHB port. I highly recommended this inexpensive product.
