positively shocked at how reat this is
This gave me over 20 stations, 8 of which are not available on my satellite dish or from my one available cable company. IT WAS HOOKED UP AND LOADEDWITHIN 10 MINUTES OR LESS. IT IS HEAVY, NOT FLIMSY AND CHEAP, AND IT IS NOT NEAR A WINDOW - IT IS INSIDE MY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER ACROSS THE ROOM. MY ONLY CONCERN IS THE MANETIC PORTION. DOES IT EECT DVRS? DOES IT AFECT ANY O MY OTHER TECH IN THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER - I JUST DON'T KNOW AND WAS CAREUL TO PUT IT IN THE BOTTOM O THE EC SO IT WASNT NEAR ANYTHIN IT COULD DESTROY. I REALLY WISH THE MANETIC PORTION WAS A REMOALE BOTTOM OR A REPLACEABLE BOTTOM SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY. THESE DAYS THERE IS TOO MUCH TECH ALL OVER THE PLACE AND CLOSE TO EACHOTHER THAT INDIN A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A REALLY SUPER STRON MANET IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. BESIDES THE FACT THAT IT WORKS GREAT, I WAS ABLE TO 'BEST' OR 'ONE UP' OR 'BEAT' MY CABLE/INTERNET COMPANY WHICH IS A RARE FEAT. AND TRULY ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE THESE DAYS. USUALLY YOUR CITY PICKS WHAT COMPANY WILL CARRY YOUR PHONE, CABLE, INTERNET, POWER, WATER, GARBAGE, ETC. AND THE CONTRACT GOES TO THE SAME COMPANY EVERY YEAR WITH NO CONCERN FOR THE PRICES OR THE SERVICE OR THE QUALITY. EVERY SINGLE AREA NAMED IS ONE COMPANY WITH A COMPLETE MONOPOLY, GIVING YOU NO CHOICE AND GIVING THEM NO REASONS TO KEEP THE COSTS DOWN AND THE QUALITY UP. SO BEATING THE DREADED COMCAST WITH A $10 ANTENNA MADE MY DAY BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL. I STILL NEED INTERNET SO THEY CAN ALWAYS CONTINUE TO BLEED MY WALLET DRY FOR INTERNET WHILE HAVING HUGE PORTIONS OF THE DAY/NIGHT WHERE YOUR INTERNET DROPS OUT CONSTANTLY-- BUT BETWEEN SATELLITE AND THIS ANTENNA, I HAVE NOW FREED MYSELF FROM THE TENTACLES OF CABLE TV FOREVER. OH IF ONLY I COULD GET INTERNET ROM SOMEONE OTHER THAN COMCAST OR ATT... Recently COMCAST 'upraded', GIVING ME worse and more expensive service. we used to have cable on one tv, solely because it costs less to have internet with cable on one tv than internet alone ($20 less) so we had it to decrease our bill. 2 years ago THEY made the lowest package 6-10 stations DEPENDIN ON THE DAY instead of 25+ -makin it even more worthless, but still cheaper than internet alone. Now, the upgrade requires a cable box to get any stations at all, making it more expensive than internet alone - AND MY THEORYON COMCAST IS "NOT A PENNY MORE" but I liked having a tv with something on it that was not linked to my satellite. I have bought numerous antennas for hurricane season, in order to get at least one station or news, to no avail. They have all been worthless pieces of junk. SO I was leery o wasting another $10. NOW I AM GETTING 2 MORE SO I CAN GET TV STATIONS THROUGH DVD PLAYERS THAT ARE HOOKED UP THE THE TVS NON-DVR/SATELLITE CONNECTIONS, ALLOWIN ME TO WATCH OR RECORD STATIONS IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS RECORDIN ON MY DVRS, SO I NEVER HAVE TO CHOOSE TO GIVE UP A SHOW DURINGG THOSE FEW PRIMETIME HOURS WHEN THERE ARE MORE SHOWS THAN DVR CONNECTIONS. FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!!!! SORRY OR THE CRAZY CAPS, MY KEYBOARD WENT HAYWIRE AS SOON AS I STARTED THIS REVIEW, CHOOSIN WHEN TO CAP AND WHEN NOT TO CAP WITHOUT REARD TO THE SHIFT BUTTON.

Magnetic mount signal grabber antenna
This little antenna did remarkably well. Being a mag mount, I can place it on the roof of my van.

Works like a charm
I am about 30 miles or so south of Salt Lake and I get 39 stations with this little antenna I originally bought it to use with my Simple. TV box but it was borderline noisy on a few of the channels so I purchase a more expensive amplified omni direction antenna. Otherwise it is really a decent antenna but the Simple TV device is super finicky about little digital dropouts and it kept hanging the device. For normal viewing you probably would nt have noticed the few little blips here and there that I had on 2 of the 39 channels. Also, it's a solid little antenna, with a strong mag base on it and I don't doubt that it would stick to the roof of a car if you wanted to receive TV channels when you were mobile. All in all, a good little product, well worth the ridiculously low price.

Absolutely incredible little antenna, goodbye cable company…..
I have been with the same cable company for more than 21 years. In the last three months I have experienced so many problems with them that I actually had to report them to the Board of Public Utilities. I have placed a disconnect order that will take place in seven days. I never again do business with them. So I ordered this antenna in anticipation of the changeover. I will be using streaming services from now on but I still need access to the major networks and local channels. This little antenna arrived today. Since I still have cable service in the main TV in the living room, I figured I would test this one out on my bedroom TV. The bedroom TV is not a smart TV and I disconnected the cable service in that one about three months ago, just to save some money. The bedroom TV has been unused all this time. I went to YouTube and found a few videos that explain how to install one of these antennas and how to have your TV scan for available channels. The actual installation is just a coaxial fitting that gets plugged into the back of your TV. The antenna does not even need any kind of electrical connection. So I plugged it into the TV and I had my TV scan for available channels. I could not believe my eyes!! be My TV found about 109 channels. I have CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PIX. In addition, it found other channels, such as PBS, MeTV, Toons, LAFF, STORY, OXYGEN, Fox Weather, MOVIES!, LOCLish, CREATE, WORLD, ION, BOUNCE, RETRO, Shopping Channels, just to name a few. The quality and reception are equal to what I was getting with cable and all for the incredible price of about $21 (I bought the antenna during yesterday‘s prime deal day). I actually just went into Amazon again to order a second antenna for the living room because this little bad boy is staying right here in the bedroom. My bedroom TV is inside a cabinet and I simply put the antenna on top of the cabinet. I didn’t even bother moving it around. One thing I will tell you is that will find the same channel name will multiple versions. For example, the TV found three different MeTV channels. Two of those were broadcasting an episode of “the Beverly hillbillies“. The third one was broadcasting “Mission impossible“. This was bound to happen since I am getting signals from different areas and those stations might be broadcasting different shows under the same channel name. I simply went into the settings of my TV and deleted the duplicate one. Additionally know that the channel numbers might have extensions. Again, this is also due to receiving signals from different areas. For example, I am picking up MeTV on channel 33–001. I am getting Toons on channel 33–002 and LAFF is coming in on channel 33–003. I have already cleaned up the channel list and kept the channels I want and the others I simply deleted. So now when I use the channel button up or down, it will only show me the channels. I am interested in. This is one of the best gadgets. I have bought in a very long time. Even if you are not very good with electronics do not be afraid of installing this. Like I said, it’s just a coaxial fitting that goes in the back of the TV. The YouTube videos will take you step-by-step into how to do the rest. I am incredibly delighted with this antenna. In seven days I get to do this all over again in the main TV. I can hardly wait. And in seven days, I also end a monthly bill of $180 that I was paying to the cable company. Go for it and get one of these. It is absolutely worth the reasonable price.

I have moved into a house with only one aerial and several TVs so was just streaming, but I missed regular TV in the morning on my bedroom tv. I was really sceptical about this. After all, the price was so low & I’d heard internal antennas were poor. I was so surprised and genuinely delighted with it. It’s tiny! I opened the box, put it together, plugged it in, put it by the window and scanned for channels. 100’s found. Picture fine. Up and running in less than 5 mins. I’d highly recommend it.

Questa piccolissima antenna magnetica piazzata sul bordo discendente della cappa, inclinata e appoggiata sul muro a circa un metro dalla finestra ha risolto alla grande un problema di segnale della presa tv (che mi sarebbe costato un nuovo sopralluogo a pagamento di un antennista) ricevendo bene decine di canali. Sarò stato anche fortunato per la buona posizione della cucina come ricezione ma non posso che fare i complimenti per questo articolo, pochi euro e una resa notevole
