1byone Outdoor TV Antenna 360° Omni-Directional Reception Long 100+ Miles Range Enhance VHF&UHF 4K Ready HDTV Antenna with Added Stability for Outdoor/Attic/RV Use - 39ft RG6 Coax Cable

The media could not be loaded. In my quest to save a little money, I thought why not drop my cable? Or at least reduce my cable bill by getting rid of channels I can get for free over the air. Ok, now that I had a plan and a goal to achieve, I set out on a quest to find an HD antenna that would suit my needs.The quest was not that long or epic, thankfully it was pretty easy. I did a few quick searches and found 1byone, a company that makes many different HD antenna solutions. I felt I was sure to find the device I needed from them, and I was right. I purchased the 1byone Shiny Antenna super thin version from Amazon. After reading the reviews and looking over the features, I was very impressed and excited to get it home and set it up.The setup process was pretty easy and straightforward. You plug the antenna into the tv's antenna input, go to "my setting" and scan for channels. The first time I did this I was a little disappointed, I had only got 28 channels. After carefully reading the instructions and putting my tech mind to work I thought hmm I should have placed the antenna in a window facing the great outdoors, walls and other objects can block signal so let's bypass this stuff. I did another scan and got 58 channels. Wow I did not know there was so many local HD and non HD channels free over the air.To my surprise, I did not have to use the supplied amplifier and the window I placed it near was less than 20 feet from my main tv. I get mostly all the channels I could want for my needs. Here in my area, I am lucky enough to be within 50 miles of Philly where the broadcast tower is located. You can find out how close your local broadcast tower is by doing a quick google search. I am extremely satisfied and blown away how good this antenna works and the HD quality you get from your local broadcast.I definitely recommend the 1byone Shinny HD Antenna, however before you cancel or cut your cable subscription, purchase this product and test it out. Its very inexpensive for what entertainment it can provide. I know some people who connected the antenna to their child's tv for local kids shows, this was a good idea it eliminates the need to rent another cable box. Also, your performance will vary depending on a number of factors: what's available in your area, your desired entertainment needs as well as objects that may be blocking the HD signal.For the money, this is a great device to test out your HD local broadcast and ultimately save you some money.

Works great, get every local channel in a spot where I normally get 3, lots of trees and buildings usually blocking signal.

SO I live in Manhattan, NO-EA-HA (north east Harlem) is my neighborhood and I pay way, Way, WAY TOO much for cable and had been looking for a way to "cut the cord" with Time Warner" so to say and for some reason just didn't believe that this thing would work. Problem number one is all the tall buildings around (I live in a Brownstone) and don't have a direct line of sight to the World Trade Center also all my windows face east west, SO I have no south facing window...bummer, BUT I said I would try it anyway, I had already reduced my bill by getting rid of the modem and getting my own ($8.00 a month saved it'll pay for itself in 16 months, I could have gone with a cheaper modem but trying to get ready for what's coming next). So everything showed up the other day and after watching a YouTube video or two I was ready, it was a very easy set-up and after re-readying my TV manual (my HDTV is 9 years old I was a little worried it wouldn't work with it) I was ready to go, I hit the scan button and a message came up tell me it could take up to 50 minutes, so I fixed myself a drink and waited after about 5 minutes there was nothing and I said to myself "I guess I'll be sending this back" I then went into my office to do something and when I came back about 5 minutes later I had 55 channels, talk about Shocked the entire process took about 15 minutes with a total of 60 channels...SO here are a few problem I have, a few of the stations don't come in well, the signal is a little weak and the pictures freezes up and buffers... the one thing that was surprising was that I got ALMOST all of the local channels CBS, NBC, WOR, FOX, WPIX, PBS, just to name a few of the locals and the pictures are nice, Sharp, Crisp just like if I was watching cable I was SHOCKED!! BUT my BIGGEST PROBLEM OF ALL is NO ABC!! I watch ABC everyday, the main station I wanted and nothing...not a drop of a signal, my heart was broken I'm going to be STUCK with Time Warner until I can get ABC or figure something out. If you live in the city and you live high up or have a window facing the Trade Center and you're looking to cut cable cost this is the BEST $29.00 you can spend, I'm going to play around with moving the antenna (it has a 20 foot cable and I can always attach another cable to get more footage to run the antenna to the bedroom windows where I may be able to get a better signal) SO yes this works in the city and you will have to play around with where you place it to get the best reception and maybe even more channels (I got Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Scandinavian and Russian Channels in that group of 60 stations) SO TAKE THE CHANCE, if this can help you cut your cable bill down to just internet service it's worth it! once I get the ABC thing figured out I'll be saving over $100.00 a month (I still need internet service, I'm not trying to live in the dark ages by living on free hot spots)
