Review on 2021 Newest Antenna TV Digital HD Indoor: TAOPE HD Antenna for TV Indoor, 250 Miles Long Range Digital TV Antenna - Amplified Signal Booster for Smart TVs by Juan Moncrief

Bought to replace a cheap antenna we used before but unfortunately our puppies broke. We recently gave up our cable TV to save money so I chose it because it was cheap and worth just watching soccer games on Sundays and sometimes the news, but this thing sucks. I followed the instructions completely, tried to move it in different places and even in the window as suggested, but every time I did a channel scan I got 6 channels at best. The cheap antenna we had before we had cable, which I bought from Wally-Mart for about $15, had at least 30 channels and wasn't even set up in a window compared to this junk that gets 6. Also, My fault for not reading the full description, but after setting it up I found that the amp used USB instead of the power cord. This wasn't a common problem, but our TV didn't set up USB ports, I had to plug the USB charging port into our surge protector. to the food (wasn't a big problem but would like to mention it). It has two settings, a short frequency and a long one, I tried the long one first and got 6 channels at best. Tried to short out just like that, but nothing happened. As I said, before we had cable, we had a cheap antenna that I bought new, maybe $15, and it picked up at least 30 channels indoors, our locals, MeTV. , heaps, but this antenna only caught 6 (and all the crappy channels, not a local ABC/FOX/NBC etc.), bought these to watch soccer games and that doesn't happen with this antenna (although I can watch QVC , ironically one of the six channels fits perfectly). Do yourself a favor and don't buy this, no matter where it was posted and even on the window it barely caught anything. I won't even send it back because it was so cheap but I will definitely buy something else.
