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)

This antenna is great! It gets 10 more channels than the Mohu Leaf that I paid twice as much for and another off brand style Leaf that was a little cheaper. The Leafs require an amplifier that I had to buy a multi-plug outlet to provide them power along with my TV and sound bar. This antenna is much easier to use, easier to install, and gets much better results. If I am moving around in the room, the Leaf gets interference from my movements and the signal fades in an out. I also need to move it from time to time, because for some reason the signal stops working in the place it is in or one channel will just stop working and start displaying no signal until I do move it. I do not seem to have that problem with this antenna so far. The picture stays the same no matter what I am doing or where I am at in the room. I can also place it behind the TV and stick the magnet bottom to the TV mount. The Leaf has to be somewhere away from the TV on full display with a wire hanging out to it. I'm really happy I made the choice to try this antenna.

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 do feel like it’s a decent antenna I love the magnetic field it has on the bottom and how small it is. I do feel like I picked up some good channels and they are very clear no static or buffering. I was looking for a specific channel that I could not get before I brought this antenna and still don’t have after buying it. I feel like it’s my house NOT the antenna. But it better than my old antenna and it does work better than what I had before. I live in a main city

I have purchased many “Digital Antennas” in my day - I have different types- most are flat panels- this one works as well as all the others- However this type is a little more convenient as is not a flat panel and does not have be mounted on a wall or window. I actually chose this antenna because it was not a flat panel and the price was good. If you have never purchased a digital antenna before- positioning is key - you may have to experiment a bit - I am presently using 6 in my house each antenna picks up different channels usually about 50 depending on what part of the house I am in- for example we get ABC in the back of the house but not the front - simply the back of our house faces Philly. Also be aware that the channels you do get are not “prime” so to speak- a lot of the channels are old movies, old tv shows - kids stuff - a few in non English language- these off channels are actually very entertaining for a older guy like me. Most of my TVs do get the network channels ABC, CBS, NBC, or at least 2 of them it varies on what part of the house. By the way the picture quality is excellent!

The antenna was easy to set up. It’s small, about 6 inches high. So it is easy to place. I live in a city & I receive a large number of channels and my picture comes in really clear. This is a great buy. I purchased two.

I live in an apartment building in NYC and only have streaming services (Netflix and YouTube) and needed something to watch the ball drop or Super Bowl with when my friends come over, this checks all that, I watched the Olympics with it, although not all the events I still got to see a bunch for free, live. It’s also nice having live news again and random cartoons for background noise. Reception is pretty good, setup was pretty easy, I think it depends on your TV though, I have a Samsung smart tv with a digital antenna and just followed the instructions after plugging everything in and placing it near my window, very long wire

I bought this as a backup since we mostly stream but still like to access local channels. On the TV in my bedroom, it barely picked up anything. The antenna I was replacing (I was trying to get even better reception) found 52 channels. This one found 0 channels. I was ready to return it, but I tried it on a different TV and it worked much better there! Even so, placement makes a huge difference. I have to move it around to get consistent reception and some channels come in stronger than others. Once positioned correctly, it works— but it’s not something you can just plug in and forget about. It’s helpful if you have something magnetic to stick it on. Otherwise, forget about it. If you DO have something magnetic (window frame, picture, frame, etc.), it does stick great and is what gives you more range! It feels well made and heavy, not flimsy like some of them out there, and I really wanted this little guy to work. 🫤 For occasional use, it’s fine —if you depend on an antenna daily, you may want something stronger. If you don’t want a wire hanging out and going across the room, this is not the antenna for you.

Doesn’t really work well where I am. My local hockey team signed a deal with a local broadcast channel and it isn’t on my TV provider’s lineup. Sometimes this will pick up the channel, sometimes the channel completely disappears and I have to tune the receiver again. It was inexpensive and I got what I paid for. It’s small and the magnet is strong. The cable is RG59 so it’s harder to extend it and keep the signal quality. Would probably be good for an RV or camper.
