not enough antenna for my circumstances.
I live in a difficult area for reception and the antenna was inadequate. In the channel scan, I couldn't receive even one channel. I am about 30-35 miles away from the transmitter.

It was an easy installation and seems to work well. We still get some interference with the signal from time to time so it’s not a strong signal all the time. Also, it is white on one side and black on the other, so unless your wall is white or black it will stand out.

has great reception. I recommend the system with the signal amp plug in. It has an incredible range & I get a very surprising large number of channels. Use the placement guide for advice but I had the best reception aimed towards the Southwest (Texas, for instance). I plan to buy a couple more.

I replaced a five year old Leaf with the Winegard Amped Indoor antenna. I receive more channels, and the picture quality greatly improved. It is also smaller than the old antenna, and with help from the app, I was able to find the best location in the room for installation.

Cut the Cord and Saving $100+ per Month
The antenna was easy to install and setup. It is taped up low on a wall near a sliding glass door hidden by a indoor plant. We are within 20 miles of the broadcast antennas and picked up 40 plus digital stations, including all the local network stations that we frequently watch. With the Winegard antenna and two internet movie services, we canceled cable and saved over $100 a month.

    I expected more from this antenna being that it came highly recommended by consumer reports. It does not seem to perform anymore better than an older less expensive antenna I had.

          I read that it was the best wall/window antenna, but some channels don't come in at all and others are pixilated...maybe need 2 in parallel?

            Bought this because we lost CBS from Dirctv.We live in a very wooded area.The antenna worked great.We only got 6 channels with it but CBS was one of then.Picture is better than what we get from Directv. Probably would get more if I move it closer to a window,but there was no need.

                  Only received two English language channels plus a shopping channel and multiple Asian and Spanish language channels in an area with five network channels, one local channel and two PBS channels. Non-amplified Mohu received more (but not all) English language channels

                    The antenna actually picked up about 50 channels and I am on the central Jersey coast. Hard to keep the antenna out of sight though. Picture quality was very good for a significant amount of channels.

                      Best Antenna so far
                      I had tried two other antennas from reputable vendors before I tried this particular one. The others did not pick up many channels at all. This one does lose some channels but not very often. So far I have always been able to re-scan and pick all my channels. So far so good!

                        Connects easily, low profile. No better than my old RCA rabbit ears in my test. Winegard found 29 channels, RCA found 33.

                        Doesn’t work much better then just the TV. Sets stations that have no and or very weak signals. Fuzzy signal during bad weather or just walking in the room. Not impressed. Reviews indicated it was the best but not in my case.
