Title: Amplification was the key in our area
Review: This is my 2nd purchase. I purchased the first antenna in the fall of 2014 for $40 mainly to see the state of “Over the Air” broadcasting. At the time of the purchase we had an analog cable TV subscription that cost more each year and had fewer channels.I placed the antenna over a chair in a room of the house that just happened to be located the furthest away from the major broadcast towers. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to pick up about 30 channels. Depending on how I jiggled the antenna I could add a few channels and lose a few. After 2 months of testing, I decided to move the antenna into another room of the house.Our house has a coaxial connection in every room of the house. All the coax connections home-run from a closet in the room that is closest to all the broadcast towers. This is the room of the house that I moved the antenna to and placed it in a window that just happened to be dual-pane and low-E. I was pleasantly surprised to pick up about 40 channels. For grins I tried it without the preamp and was down to 1 channel. I later confirmed this with other brands that were not amplified, and at best was able to get 1-3 channels but not without issues. The amplifier was definitely required in our location. I tried the antenna flat against the wall and even flat against the window, but it seemed to pick up more channels when I wedged it in-between the two shades on the window (see photo). I've seen "curved" antenna's and now I had a "curve" antenna and signal reception was even better than flush on the window or wall. Because it was wedged in between the two shades, it was easy to take down for cleaning.I connected it to the main distribution network in the house which has a 1:8 HDTV drop amp with 4.5dB of amplification. In each room of the house that has a cable jack I ended up running the signal through a 2nd 1:4 HDTV drop amp with 7.5dB of amplification and was able to get from 40-50 channels depending on the TV or DTV converter box that we were using, so even though the antenna was in a fixed location there was enough of a difference between coaxial runs and different hardware to account for up to 10 channels.For grins, I opened the window and moved the antenna outdoors and was able to get 55 local channels and all the other tuners in the house varied by 3-5 channels, but obviously this was not an outdoor antenna - just wanted to know how much the “house” was actually causing us to lose in signal strength and channel availability.I ran this setup for another 3 months after I had cut the proverbial cable and would eventually decided to purchase a bigger outdoor antenna which in reality was not that much bigger but I also purchased the outdoor version of the same Winegard amplifier used on the FL5500A product. The outdoor antenna with mast mounted preamp got us 96 total channels while mounted on the side of the house at a height between 9 and 10 feet. Of those channels we paired those down to 42 that we like and can receive the same channels on all the hardware in the house. The bigger antenna lets us pull signals as far away as 120 miles even though it’s only rated for 60+ miles.So this antenna with its amplifier worked very well for us. We gave one to our daughter and picked up a 2nd unit. It’s our backup antenna in case something should happen to the outdoor antenna.The number of channels that you can pick up will vary by geographic location, home orientation, building materials used within a home, and location within a room. If you live very close to broadcast towers, the amplifier may actually hurt as it would overdrive signals - you’ll have to play with it to find what works best for your installation. For us, the amplifier was absolutely essential for both this indoor and our current outdoor antenna. Both use the Winegard amplifier.

Title: Wow!!!!
Review: I’ve used these types of antennas is the past, usually with marginal results, some worked, most did not. This one works exceptionally well, and bonus, it actually comes with enough cable, most don’t…. It is likely at a 1080p resolution, which yields a good picture. . Just be sure to run a scan after you install it. I will be adding one to each tv in the house as a backup to Satellite. Thanks Winegard.

Title: Worth the investment!
Review: I purchased this antenna about 6 months ago and it works pretty well. I live within a 35-40 mile radius of downtown Chicago area and this antenna was able to receive 40 channels (out of 67 available based on antennaweb.org for my zip code) from my upstairs bedroom on a 1080p Vizio LED television. I have the antennae hung up behind a picture frame above the television so only the white cable shows through. This didn't seem to enhance or degrade the reception at all. Most stations are super crisp and of HD quality but there are some that are not broadcast in HD so they're a little grainy. I had initially hooked up this antenna to my 780p Panasonic television which is directly downstairs from my upstairs bedroom and I was only able to get about 27 channels. Downstairs, I just couldn't seem to find a good ideal spot for the antenna and no matter where I placed it, it just didn't receive as many channels. This could be that my television just couldn't read/pick up signals beyond 780p unlike directly upstairs where the cheaper television was a 1080p and able to read those signals. I used the included USB cables for both televisions instead of the 110v adapter because it seemed more convenient so I can't say if testing with 110v would have helped with the amplification/signal. In any case, I don't believe the problem rests completely with the antenna because it was able to receive more or less channels based on my location and my own television's capability. Once in a while, the signal will burst and get pixelated but it's not as often as I thought it would and it only happens for certain channels or during a storm or inclement weather. For the $60 that I spent on this device, I'd say it was money well spent because I was paying more than that per month for "200" channels that I barely watched but only a handful - NBC, CBS, ABC, WTTW, PBS...although I do miss some channels like The History Channel and Discovery. What's interesting is that I could only get either 7-1 (ABC) or 5-1 (NBC) but never both. I could, however, get 7-1 (ABC) and 59-2 (NBC2) which is just as good. Overall, I would definitely recommend this antenna because it really does work in the Chicagoland area and has helped me to cut my cable cost a lot (i.e. $80 incl fees x 6 mos so far). I'd give it a solid 4.8/5.0! -09/22/2014

Title: Terrible Antenna
Review: I bought this based on the glowing reviews to replace a Antennas Direct flat amplified antenna. I figured if it was as good or superior, I would use it as the primary antenna or as part of a dual antenna setup. I put is antenna in the same place as my Antennas Direct antenna and instead of picking up 22 channels (like the AD antenna) I ended up picking up only two channels. Yes, the amplifier was powered on.On top of that, the QR code on the amplifier would not scan to locate the app. I searched for the app in Apples Store and searched for Winegard and installed the Winegard TV Signal app. It was the only app I could find. That app didn’t do anything, literally. It did not connect via Bluetooth to the amplifier. When selecting the “Connected” app in the menu, the message received was that it is currently not available in your country or region. ???!! Did Amazon sell something meant to work in a different country or did Winegard box and distribute these antenna’s incorrectly?!I went through the troubleshooting steps with no resolution. I sent it back.

Title: So-so.
Review: Looks good. Easy to set up. Just couldn’t pull in the stations for our locations. Had to return. We live about 43 miles away from some of the antennas.

Review: Due to raising monthly fees with the CABLE COMPANY I purchased a WINEGARD FL5500A FlatWave HDTV indoor antenna & a friend set it up in less then 15 mins. - it works, it is worth the MONEY for this antenna. I would recommend this antenna to anyone who wants to "cut the cable". The cables were set up, the antenna is on the wall - I have TV (news, movies, soaps, a station that has multicultural languages). It WORKS, I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada & can truly tell people to buy it, even for an additional TV in another room. Or for the cottage or Motor home. The antenna picks up AIR WAVES - it if FREE broadcasting/TV. Everything needed is in the box. Note the MODEL information - purchased from AMAZON.

Review: Yo vivo en un edificio de departamentos, intenté con varias antenas recibir señal y ninguna me funcionó debido a que el departamento es interior. Sin embargo esta antena funcionó de forma increíble, solo la coloqué junto a mi ventana y tengo excelente recepción de todos los canales.
