Customer Reviews for Winegard Flat Wave Amped HD TV Indoor Antenna

I’m about 35 miles from TV towers. Watched football in backyard. Worked great.

Good value if you can get all channels from one spot and don't mind how it hangs. You'll need Velcro or will have to perforate it between the metal strips with tacks or hooks to keep it from falling. You can't tack it flat on the wall either because the cord connector sticks out on both sides. I'm over 30 miles from DC and picked up some 30 stations. But I could not get them all indoors facing one way, even though they're all to the north. It's a building material or shape issue, and some being on VHF rather than UHF. But I got everything when I dangled it outside on my porch. (Note: When testing, you can't just hold it here and there, because your body will help conduct the signal. Must let go of it!) My solution was to spend a bit more for Clearstream's 2V indoor-outdoor antenna with a separate VHF receiver, screwing it to a wooden base and standing it up indoors.

I really like this antenna for how small it is yet how many digital channels you can receive using it. Easily hides behind an flat panel display after hooking it up to the coax cable port. A quick autotune and you're in business. Comes in a white or black finish if you really want to display it but I think most will toss behind and forget its there. Overall highly recommend, especially considering I get some 40-50 channels which is excellent!

This antenna is so useful and easy to hide. We used it to replace some ugly rabbit ears on our new LG tv mounted on the wall. What is really kewl is how you can just shove it anywhere (as long as you mount it high like all antennas) and it just works! I did not even use the amplifier part of the antenna - just connected it and jammed it (I really did jam it in and not mount it) into my closet and turned the tv on - no problemo! It worked like a champ. Love it. There ya go!

This antenna works great! It is small, about a foot square, lightweight and receives signals better than I expected! It is white on one side and black on the other. I attached it to the wall behind my TV and connected it to the antenna in. It comes with a plug-in USB power supply since it is amplified, but I plugged the USB cable into a spare port on my TV. I then initiated a channel scan (important) and it found 56 channels in my suburban location. This is better than the roof antenna I used to have! The picture is fantastic, and now I get high Definition TV for free! Great for the local channels or when the weather makes satellite unusable. Great item!

Like a million others I have said goodbye to cable TV and living my life cord free for about 5 years now. The worst part was when cable companies started encrypting basic free to air channels and you had to pay a significant amount to watch these on your TV using the cable line (plus another fee if you want these in HD). I have been using the leaf antenna and have been pleased with the results so far. However, for certain channels I had to place the antenna in a certain direction otherwise the reception would not be perfect. I decided to give this a try since this was amped unlike other basic low profile antennas. The results have been more than satisfactory. All the free to air channels in my area are crisp and the reception is flawless. I would however suggest that before buying this, please check antennaweb or any similar website to see the FTA channel reception in your area. The installation is very simple. The antenna comes with a USB powered amp which you can power with the TVs USB port or if your TV does not have it, the product comes with an extra charger. Overall, very happy with this product and would recommend this for every cord cutter.

Not to my liking. Will return.

works great, get 386 channels.

Could not have been an easier to install or set up on the TV

Bought this antenna to try to bring in garbled channels from another antenna. The channels it did pick up were clear and the sound was great. I'd recommend this antenna for someone who does not yet have one. It likely will not improve on an outdoor antenna.

This antenna solved the problem with my old Channel Master which was not allowing me to rescan the latest upgrades in no time. It is practically invisible on my wall! Winegard Customer support helped me find the serial number for registration… on a separate piece of cardboard in the box.

We got two. The only difference in performance seems to be the lack of modern tuner in the 30 year old TV. We plan to replace that and expect the same excellent reception with both antennas.

It’s a good product and increased my OTA channels from 56 to 116. However it does not have any cable disconnects that all it to be snaked thru my existing cable chaseway and I had to return it.

Arrived quickly. So far it has worked as advertised. With it I’m able to receive all my local over the air channels with very little occasional pixilation.

Short of buying an external roof mounted antenna, this is the best OTA "inside" unit I've found. It costs a bit more than some, but performs as advertised. It definitely boosted reception of the channels I had trouble with.

The antenna seems to be well made, high quality and a fair price. The cable is long enough to place the antenna a good distance from the television. The power supply for the amp is integral to the cable and attaches easily to the provided charging block. I rated this product as good because I am disappointed with the reception. I did the channel scan as instructed and found 29 stations, however only 4 would tune in with any stability. Their TV Signal Finder app is a little wonky and takes a minute to figure out. All things considered, I think this is a high-quality item and I will eventually find a good location in my home to maximize the reception. I do recommend this antenna to anyone trying to figure out how to cut cable.

The long cable made it super easy to install in a good spot. I was using an RCA antenna. This one got twice as many stations.

Consumer Reports overrated this antenna. Reception was only so-so, even after using the Winegard station located app.

goes in and out with pixilation

Antenna works well but the design doesn't readily allow you to extend the rf cable. I was 5 feet short from the window that works best. This is a rather fundamental design flaw that should have been caught at the prototype stage. Make sure you have a mounting spot that's within the factory cable length.

Reasonably good reception, all things considered. I’m happy with the purchase.

Worked well, easy setup. unfortunately I live more then 55 miles from city signal towers and only local channels were available.

I was not smart e ough

Still having problem with one station but was able to pick up a couple new ones.

Excellent, didn’t mourn ridding ourselves of cable for a millisecond!
