HIDB TV Antenna for Smart TV Indoor, Digital Indoor HD Antennas with Strong Magnetic Base, Easy Installation, Long Range Reception for Local Channels 4K 1080P, 10ft Long Cables (Black)

If I would have known how many channels were still available for free, much less how easy it would be to install an antenna, I would’ve done this so so long ago. Ages ago. I barely paid attention to the install instructions, although they were so very easy. No long booklet of 15 different languages, simple steps that were very user-friendly and how to get set up quickly.The antenna itself is smaller than I expected, which I was happy about. I didn’t pay attention to the measurements listed. I thought it needed to be tall for a signal, I thought it was going be some odd looking thing I was going to have in a weird space out in the open. That could potentially look phallic. 😂 When in actuality, it is so small that it blends in with decor that I have around my television and you can’t even see it. I had no issues with having to find a spot for it to be a clear picture. The first place I put it. It worked perfectly with crystal clear reception. I don’t know if this is because I have windows in my living room, but I was just shocked and so happy about how easy it was to connect. The instructions say to have it as high as possible, so right now it is on a bookshelf, but, again, because it’s so discreet in size you can’t even see it mixed in with my bookshelf decor.These streaming companies that charge $90 a month JUST so you can see local news, I don’t understand how it’s legal according to FCC. Which, by the way, I checked, the FCC doesn’t regulate pricing of any kind for streaming services, nor what they offer. That’s another topic, but how is that legal? I’m currently on limited income and canceled all streaming services that aren’t somehow discounted by other membership, etc.. I also had some of my streaming services on auto draft and didn’t realize how expensive they had become. Ignorance is bliss, actually no it’s not.Even when I get into a better financial situation, I will not pay for those streaming services again. I’m able to watch local news, which means I can watch for the tornado warnings that I will have this afternoon. As opposed to some of the other “free live TV” streaming that shows “local news” for, yes, I counted, 22 other cities that mean nothing to my local safety or community.One time investment of $19, vs minimum of $89 a month. No counting the free coverage of some football games when the cheapest o found for just one sports channel was $20 a month.The only semi trick to setting it up was really based on my TV, and it had nothing to do with this product. Even then it just took 2 to 5 minutes of patience and reading through the e-manual on my Samsung. Hint: you have to find the feature that has your television search for all updated channels, no matter the connectivity. I also thought that I would have to change the source or input on my remote when I wanted to watch local TV from the antenna coverage, no it loaded into my TVs free channel lineup. So no flipping over even from source/input.Wish I would’ve done this years ago, and certainly will keep it no matter when better financial days 🙏🏻 come my way.

I got this so my household has access to live broadcast sports. We stream everything else, but this is without subscription fees. Hooking this up was simple right out of the box. I situated it in several spots in the living room and got a good number of channels. In the spot I finally decided on, I pulled NBC, CBS, and several Fox affiliates, along with a few CWs, PBS & Spanish language. There are plenty of sub-channels as well (Comet, Cozi, MeTv, MeTv+, MeTv Toons, Get, Grit, West, Oxygen & several others that my family are not familiar with or don't watch). I haven't yet figured out the location to pull the CBS affiliate, but this is most of what I wanted.The reception is crisp. It was a blue sky day, and our living room has huge glass windows and glass sliding doors overlooking a long open run to a treeline, so no idea if reception will be the same on overcast days, but I'm satisfied and think it was worth buying. Your mileage may vary.

Overall this little antenna works well for me. Picks up plenty of channels in my home office where it wasn't feasible to run coax from my outdoor antenna. The length of the coax on this antenna was more than enough for my application--I actually have it mounted by the magnet base to the swivel arm bracket for the TV where it is out of sight, out of mind. Installation was super simple--stick the antenna to the metal swivel bracket, attach the coax, and navigate to the TV tuner scan menu. For comparison, at my location about 25mi from Charlotte NC I receive 85 OTA channels with my outdoor antenna and just under 60 with this little jewel discretely out of sight so no complaints here.

Works great but I can only get about 10 local stations, the best one for reception is my local ABC station but the antenna is very small and easy to hide

This small antenna is just perfect. Mine is used on a second TV that is on second floor. Picture comes in and I can watch pretty much anything. I have a regular antenna that is supposed to allow many channels. It does poorly. I am going to purchase my second one.

This is a superior product to others I've bought. For the first time since purchasing and using AirTV antennas, I can now watch television without the high cost of cable. I can also get many channels in my home, especially upstairs in my townhouse. Additionally, I get to see all the old shows on t.1, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, and so on and so on. Cable TV has become a racket that costs people tons of money for repeats of show after the same shows. What happened to the days of regular TV when one could just turn on the television and enjoy a good show? Cable companies are a big ripoff, sucking money from people who cannot afford it. This investment is well worth my money and time. I do miss not being able to record, rewind, or pause, but it's still worth it. The only thing I would say about this product is that the cord is too short. I have two of them, and the one in my guest bedroom cannot reach my window from the position of where my TV is. The only negative comment I have is that it could use about two or three more feet of cord, but the magnet is very beneficial for easy watching. The cord is also made of thick, durable material, and not that thin, twisty cord. I love it. I'm going to buy one more.

Small, works fairly well . Reception good most of the time . Some glitch’s but it’s free major networks so that’s a win. Easy to install and download.
