QERY 50 Miles 1080P Digital TV Antenna , Indoor Amplified HDTV Antenna with Detachable Amplifier Signal Booster, USB Power Supply and 16.5FT High Performance Coax Cable - Better Reception … (black)

Sorry to be one of the rare bad reviewers, but I do write honest reviews.This antenna is a disappointment. First, I purchased this antenna solely based on the almost 100% 5 star reviews. So I expected a better experience.I had a similar antenna that quit working about a week ago. That antenna easily picked up 23 crystal clear channels. This antenna picks up 17 sketchy channels, off and on, but not all 17 will come in at the same time. As I write this review, a local channel I’ve always watched without one problem, and that always had a strong signal, is breaking up, both video and audio, quite badly. I’ve been working with this antenna for a few hours, moving it around many many times, and one odd thing I’ve noticed is the cord coming from the antenna seems to be very sensitive. If that cord is not dangling just right, or placed in exactly a certain way, the channel breaks up. If I touch the cord slightly, the channel may come back.The only other comment I have is this antenna was only $26.00, pretty inexpensive as antennas go. But with almost all 5 star reviews, the price shouldn’t have been a factor in quality.It looks like I need to find another antenna. This one just isn’t working in any usable way.UPDATE: I sent this antenna back yesterday (one day after receiving it) and went to a local Walmart to buy another antenna. I hooked up that new one and it immediately picked up 27 crystal clear channels. No pixelating, no dropping signals. Huge difference! This new antenna cost $49 and is worth every single penny.

I don't understand this antenna. I'm on the 3rd floor of a condo and it's mounted close to my 9-foot ceiling. There's nothing around me but for flat Florida. In the morning I can get the news but not at night. Sometimes, I get some channels and other times I get no channels. It's not like a building is being put up between me and the TV broadcast tower at night and then taken down in the morning. It's really inconsistent.

I bought two of these - one for a TV in our front room; one for the bedroom. The front room window faces North, the bedroom South.I live on the first floor of a brick apartment complex on the far west side of Houston.I never realized just how *many* broadcast stations are out there! The TV facing North was able to scan 85 digital channels (this faces into a courtyard), the one facing South 95 channels (faces the street)!I can get all the local four major broadcast networks - ABC CBS Fox and NBC. All come in crystal clear. In addition PBS, KUBE, MyTV and a boatload of other stations, although some of those have a bit spotty reception.

This antenna is small enough to hide behind books and such, but more importantly it brings in stations that would otherwise be marginal. We are in a rural area and this brings in the "city" stations.

This antenna works great but only if you have a perfect location near a tower. I am <10 miles from the nearest tower and was only able to get 10 of 50 channels that my previous (and cheaper) antenna was able to pick up. I tried for 2 days to find the best spot to install the antenna only to find it barely picks up the channels I want (FOX, CBS, etc.). I will be returning this antenna.

Just bought this last week...it's great. I don't get 100 channeks, but going from 12 to 23 is pretty good!

Works good but still cannot pick up all our local channels here in Chicago

didn't get strong signal from our third floor place. but good for the price.
