Important things to know when purchasing an indoor TV antenna
- Make sure there is a local broadcast tower in your area. Depending on your location, you may not be able to receive signal with any antenna.
- Determine which channels are being broadcast from your local broadcast towers.
- Indoor TV antennas require strong signal for reliable reception. Make sure the channels that you wish to receive are predicted to have strong signal strength at your location.
- Keep your expectations realistic. While indoor antennas work well for many customers, there are situations where they may not provide reliable reception due to signal strength at your location, nearby trees, buildings, obstructions, home construction materials, placement of the antenna, & interference from LED lights and other electronics in the home.
- The Flatenna has minimal components that can fail, making it very rare for it to be defective.
Channel Master offers online tools for looking up your address to determine broadcast tower locations, available channels, and predicted signal strengths.

Honestly, I’m pretty impressed with this little Flat antenna. It’s ATSC 3.0 and Next Gen compatible so knowing it has a little future proofing is nice. Works great about 20-30 miles out picking up about 70 stations not even the Top Rated Indoor Antennas on here that claim outrageous range capability that just isn’t accurate. Hung it once, scanned the first time and was able to get several 1080i/p stations including the main ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, that the others ‘claim’ to pick up but really can’t. Returning the other 5 start rated junk box antenna I bought here. This thing is so simple to set up and it just works. The audio is Dolby Atmos for all channels with the capability and the picture quality is great even with the non amplified version. Keep in mind the amplified one can actually degrade performance if you’re too close to the station. The cable is solid and feels sturdy. Instructions were simple and easy to follow. I’d definitely buy again. This is equivalent or better than the Insignia Flat Antennas from Best Buy everyone swears by for OTA. But again, so far, would totally buy this over any other VHF/UHF antennas that claim absurd coverage. Make sure to filter those reviews by criticality to see the actual performance you’re paying for. Came just in time for the Super Bowl :)

I tried in the window, but metal surrounds the antenna. No reception. I need to stay away from the outside walls and away from the TV for best results. Even with the preamp I use with the rabbit ears, I could not get solid reception on Channel 12 (UHF 18), 1000kW, 16 miles away)VHF Rabbit ears are on the shelf in the closet and away from outside walls and TV. Collapsed and leaning forward toward the broadcast towers. All the major channels are seen but lower-power VHF channel 8.

Exceptional indoor antenna, this pickup lots of OTA channels. Long coaxial cable and sticky tapes help with positioning the antenna at optimal position. Easy to setup. There’s a review by Tyler on YouTube Antenna Man on this particular antenna. Works as advertised.

I live in a close-in suburb to Washington, DC and purchased a "triple bundle" from Xfinity about 5 years ago -- internet, landline phone, and a mix of TV stations off a menu (I chose "TV light," which was mostly local to my area).I had a three-year contract and made the mistake of not going back to see what services I needed and what they would cost. I did see my bill going up and up, and recently, it was about to hit $210 from $120 when I first purchased it. I looked carefully at my new bill and saw that the TV part was costing me nearly $80 a month, including a $12-a-month rental for the TV box.The bottom line is that I realized I could get rid of the TV option in my service bundle and simply use this antenna to get local stations and (if I cared to) purchase premium channels (which I don't need) on my own as streaming. So, after dropping the TV option from my "bundle", I find myself about $80 a month ahead with perfectly fine reception through this antenna for my local channels - $35 very well spent!!The only additional expense that came was $10 for 25 feet of coax cable - needed more than the 10 feet that came with the antenna to put it closer to a window to get a better signal.Other than too long a time on the phone waiting to reach a real person at Xfinity, switching over to the antenna took maybe an hour total - some time scanning channels on my Fire TV and some time attaching it and finding a good spot to mount it (product documentation gives you a website to locate nearby broadcast towers). A plus of the antenna is that it is white on one side, and black on the other - I ended up mounting it with the included adhesive blocks so that most of the cable was behind a bookcase and the white side of the antenna was high on a (white) wall - not overly conspicuous at all.This was a great product for my situation - I REALLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE CHECK OUT OPTIONS FOR WIRECUTTING AND USE ITEMS LIKE THIS AND VARIOUS STREAMING SERVICES TO DROP OVERPRICED TV SERVICES FROM PROViDER BUNDLES.I highly recommend this antenna as a good place to start if you are in an area with TV broadcast towers nearby.PS I am using this without amplification - not needed in this metro area.

Even when installed behind TV set on first floor, brought in all major channels without any issues. Well worth the money.

Picked up four channels; which is good, considering antenna was mounted on an inside wall facing the opposite direction of the tv towers. Recommended.

Easy to setup - just a matter of figuring out which direction the signal is coming from but this has nothing to do with the antenna itself. Once that is sorted, antenna picks up the signal and produces a near perfect picture. No need to adjust or move like you do with smaller antenna's or the old style rabbit ears. Solid sound and picture but I do recommend you have a good mount to ensure it doesn't fall off where you'e set it up.

Cumple con su función, pero no es excepcional. Es más delgada que otras antenas de “pared”.
