the best we tried
We live 35-40 miles north of the signals in DFW (Highland Village). We did not try and rooftop or attic antennas (at least not yet), but this was easily the best of the others we tried (and the cheapest). My only problems (and they are minor so I am still giving this five stars):1. We bought this mid-move and I lost the stickers. They are no where to be found and I'm wondering if I would get better reception if I didn't have to use painter's tape.2. It can't be moved from place to place easily so you have to find one spot that works and stick it there, which leads to #3;3. In one spot on the wall, we can pick up all channels, but one tends to fade in and out, move the antenna to a different spot and we can pick up the other channels, but no way to move it easily between spots.Overall, great buy.

+4 Stars for Antenna, -3 Stars for Design
This May be a good antenna, but I can't set it up to tell. The design is awful. The Antenna mat is fine. There is a rather large connection at the wire out at the bottom of the mat, but that's not my issue. The Amplifier Box is 5½" below the wire out off the antenna. That SUCKS! Not only do you have to mount the antenna, you have to mount the amplifier box too. That is not awful, the box is small and not very heavy. (The do give you several 3M pads to stick stuff to a wall) BUT The power cord has to plug into the amplifier box, and the cord is about 5 ft long. So you have to mount your antenna within 5' of a power outlet.So it was very difficult for me to test. Where I temporarily put the antenna, I had no place to put the amplifier box, and it was not 5' from an outlet. (you could defeat this problem with an extension cord, mine are all in use on Christmas lights at the moment)The top picture is accurate, I didn't notice the issue looking at the picture. (during a lightning deal)To differentiate, most indoor antennas (Mohu, Wingard, etc) have the antenna mat, and a wire out of 6-12' which leads to an amplifier box, and one end goes to the TV and a power cord is tethered in to go the power outlet a few ft away (this is fine, the outlet is by the TV, right)Maybe they have to put the amplifier so close to the antenna to get 65 mi range, if not, they really screwed the pooch on the design.If your antenna is going to be really close to the TV (and a power outlet) and you have room to stick the amplier box within 6 inches of the bottom of the antenna, this may work for you. If it sounds like a lot of restrictions, look elsewhere.

Not worth the money
This product may work for homes in a town or city area but if you live in the countryside like I do...It is not worth the money. You can get some channels in on your television but it's very static in the picture area. This may be due to the cord being very light weight and flimsy. My previous antenna hd amplifier was of better quality made. The sticky circles included with this product, do not stick to walls or windows. It falls right off, not staying in one place. I moved this flimsy square plastic thin like antenna around my living room several locations up and down to try and get more channels and the static gone but nothing worked better. Like I said before, if you live in a rural area or countryside you are better off paying more money on a better quality made product. It may work in towns or city areas though. I am dissatisfied with this product and plan on returning it.

Good range and reception
This antenna picks up a few additional stations that I couldn't get with a 50 mile antenna. Picture is very sharp for stations that are not on the reception fringe. Only problem for me is the placement of the small amplifier box on the coax line. As the product picture clearly shows (and I failed to appreciate), the box is located about 6 inches from the antenna. This means that when the antenna is on a wall, the box and additional power cable are clearly visible dangling from the antenna. Other manufacturers place the amplifier box close to the other end of the coax that plugs into the TV, which means that the box and power cable reside out-of-sight behind the TV.

it was worse picture quality and fewer channels were found than the ...
I purchased this indoor amplified antenna hoping for improved picture quality, less drop out, and more channels than provided by a set top 35 mile range, rabbit ear unit. This product not only failed to provide that, it was worse picture quality and fewer channels were found than the current non-amplified old school rabbit ear set that I bought a couple of years ago from a big box store.Installation: I attempted multiple heights, different angles (north/south wall, east/west wall) I even went so far as to take it outside my house with a coax extension on the side closest to the tower cluster, to no avail. Previously mentioned rabbit ears see 9 channels. This unit only sees three. With extending from 35 to 65 mile range, I was hoping to pick up the other 12 channels that are within that range from me, but it lost even some of the channels that are on the limit of the 35 mile range unit.Coax cord is very thin: not necessarily a subtraction, but very light weight. Velcro adhesive pads that are provided with unit will not hold it's weight, i.e. the velcro holds, but the adhesive on the velcro will not. I don't know if I received a defective antenna or not, but I'm just not impressed with this item.LED light did come on when plugged in, so I believe there was nothing wrong with the unit.

Really Works!!!
I purchased this item because it had a 65 mile range. I live in the foothills of California and am at least 45 miles from my local channels. My husband had installed an outdoor antenna but my TV was only getting 3 channels. I purchased this because it looked like it was something I could install. I put this in the window and hooked it up (really easy). Ran the TV through a set up and now have 24 channels. I must say that I was surprised at the performance of this antenna. The price and ease of set up made it a good deal.
