Does exactly what it's supposed to do, great value for money

Before I review the product myself, let me tell you, dear reader, one very important thing. WAR IN THIS SIGNAL. Yes exactly. There are many places you can place an antenna, but none will ever be perfect for all channels, and placement never guarantees that no other signal will interfere with it or that nothing can get between that signal and your signal. antenna to block it. It's amazing, as they say. I'm getting 20 of the registered 24 channels available in my area and I'm stuck in a hole in the valley where my Verizon phone's signal is only 1 band out of 5 in my kitchen window and a burst of signal in the rest of the house. (For those of you who pass as millennials, "puff for the signal" is what people ten years older than you say when they say "you'd be better off with a can of soup and a rope".) Most channels are pretty good most of the time, meaning I usually have no problem hearing or seeing what's going on. Sometimes there is pixelation. And sometimes there is a lot of pixelation. But here's the thing. It's not for those who watch TV to get the best sound and picture quality without interruptions and access hundreds of channels. It's the antenna for people like me who need local news and weather and something to lean on when the internet goes down but don't care what's flowing down the line to pay for cable. (For those of you who are considered millennials, "whistle" is what people ten years older than you stopped calling it TV when we started seeing flat screens, so half of you get it Don't tell me why anyone ever called it that in the first place (I'm not your teacher, google it.) Finally, if you just want to pay for TV once and get local news and weather and a few things like a PBS channel or MeTV want to get and you're not a person who likes to flip through hundreds of channels and discover that twenty-six are doubles, seventy-three are musicals and sixteen are in a foreign language you don't understand, and of the rest there are only about four things that you want to see and you've seen them all five times. So, i think you get it If you want me to explain this further, you need a cable. As for the product itself, then it is strong enough to withstand several attacks from a cat, and once hung on a tightly fixed, but fairly ordinary ledge. Not those pretty round ones for fancy curtains, oh no. I just told you I'm cheap. I mean cheap, flexible, weird little tin can curtain rods with a bent end that you attach to these twin hooks and then snap right through them as you step on the curtains. Yes, this antenna was attached to THIS ledge. I wouldn't advise or recommend you to do the same because to be honest it was pretty stupid of me as my cat likes to attack things in the middle of the night and I'm glad that he didn't destroy him and the window (that's why I moved it), but I say that to illustrate that it's not heavy or bulky. The craftsmanship seems pretty good, and it doesn't take up much space. Most of you would probably make better use of it if you put it outside, but I left mine inside and it still works great.

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • I'll write back
