Title: Perfect, even without the booster!
Review: I mounted the antenna on the top of my Samsung 85 inch and picked up 31 digital over the air channels without the booster. It is barely noticeable, and if you do notice it, it doesn't look out of place or overt. I love the minimalist look. (NOTE: Because this is the first time I've had an antenna hooked up, my TV did not recognize that an antenna was hooked up, so I could not scan for channels. To fix this, I had to re-set my TV to factory settings because it didn't recognize the antenna as a signal source. I did not find this in my TVs manual or anywhere online. Samsung's failure, not the antenna's.)

Title: Works good in Bucks County PA (outside Philadelphia)
Review: I'm a recent cord cutter and have been trying out a few different HD antenna models. This one looked appealing to me because of the sleek design for TV attachment and potential to avoid any wall mounts & visible wires.I live in Bucks County PA outside of Philadelphia. I was only interested in getting the main local channels from the antenna (3,6,10,17,29,57 - ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX/etc) but this antenna was actually able to find over 30 channels for me! I did see better results from this antenna on the main & upstairs floors compared to the basement. In the basement, I was able to still get around 30 channels but 6-ABC and 10-NBC were not as easy to get. I couldn't just place antenna on top of TV, would have to move it higher on the ceiling to get it but that defeats the purpose of this model design.I've only been using it for a few days so far but the picture quality for HD is really good too, doesn't look much visibly different than picture from a HD Fios box. I've mostly been watching sports (NFL playoffs) and I'm extremely satisfied with the picture quality.The only obvious tip to give is to read the instructions with the antenna. Simply plugging in the antenna and going to channel doesn't work. I tried this first and got nervous when nothing was found. The instructions indicate that you must connect the antenna and run a channel scan from the TV in order to find the channels. After doing this, the 30+ channels were found.Setup and install of this model is easy and only takes about 5-10 minutes. It is small and light and attaches to the TV with a clamp in a few seconds without any tools. The antenna connects to the TV thru a provided coax cable, about 6 feet I'd estimate. The amplifier connects to the antenna thru coax cable (provided) and is also pretty small, about the size of a travel tissue package. The amplifier needs a power connection which is provided for plug in to outlet. On this model, the amplifier MUST get the power source from an outlet. I've seen other antennas that allow the amplifier to connect to a USB port on the TV for power which is really nice if the TV is not located near an available outlet but this model DOES NOT have this feature. The antenna, amplifier, and all provided coax in my set were black.In all, I do prefer the discrete look and easy setup of this antenna type over the panel antennas that mount to the wall but what really matters are the # of channels found and picture quality. I went with a hybrid approach in the end using this antenna for my main floor and upstairs TVs while using the panel antenna type in the basement.A good resource to try in your area is nocable.org which allows you to enter your zip code and see a list of channels that should be available and even recommends an antenna model that may work best for your area.

Title: Great but one thing
Review: Easy set up. Just screw into cable thing. Easy to have remote do a "search" it found 3 channels. only downside is I am not in a major metro area. So the 3 local channels it found within 30 miles were all PBS stations. Extremely effective if you live in the city.

Title: Best antenna for broadcast television
Review: I got this awesome antenna to replace my hideous rabbit ears that I had to put in a window to get proper reception. This sits right on top of the flatscreen, has a nice glossy black finish to it, and it's hardly noticeable. It almost looks like a part of the TV, if you didn't know better. With the amplifier plugged in, it pulled in over 125 channels, but I live in a major metro area. A lot of those channels are in Spanish, Korean or Chinese. All the major broadcast channels like CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC, and the CW come in clearly. This is truly the best antenna I've owned, and it's a relief that someone designed it to replace rabbit ears that are so ugly and often don't work well even with digital broadcast signals. This works far better than my rabbit ear antenna. This antenna also pulls in VHF and UHF rather than only UHF, which is important because there are still stations broadcasting in VHF in most cities. I highly recommend this antenna above all other indoor TV antennas. There's another brand with this same design, but I chose the GE model because the reviews indicated that other brand was cheaply built and got bad reception. Also, it only had a range of 50 miles, whereas this has a range of 55 miles, theoretically.

Title: Underated Awesome Digital TV Antenna!
Review: I decided to purchase another digital TV antenna for a guest room TV & did not want to spend another $45 dollars for a amplified digital antenna I have in my living room. I bought GE antenna because of the price value & small size. I didn't really have great expectations for it, just to get some local area channels on the guest room TV. I was really surprised from the scan it got over 70 crystal clear channels on a simple connect extended antenna with NO built-in amplifier. It actually got 8 more channels than my amplified digital antenna when I was scanning for comparison. Don't let this little fellow fool you with the extended antenna bunny ears. Some of those other new tech amplified digital antenna that cost more did not meet my expectations & have returned a couple in the past. This one is a keeper & satisfied with my purchase!

Title: Works GREAT
Review: We have a TV upstairs that we use for watching movies streamed from a tablet but my wife wanted to watch the news while getting ready in the morning. Rather than wire the upstairs for internet I thought I would try an indoor antenna since weâre only interested in the local news stations. I chose this one based on size and price. I connected it, ran the channel search and ended up with 82 channels. The picture is perfect and the antenna fits behind the TV so isnât noticeable. Couldnât be happier!

Review: I was previously using a large bulky outdoor antenna then I purchased this little tabletop antenna⦠it works way better than my old antenna! Once you find that sweet spot for TV Reception, and you adjust the rabbit ears, it never strays off signal. The seller was very attentive after sale, in making sure that I received my antenna and was happy with its performance. Five stars! âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸
