> 3 dayI bought two antennas at the same time. The 2023 Ostrat 450 Mile antenna and this BTFDREEM 320 mile range model. I live in Knoxville Tennessee and there are 74 channels available in my local area. This antenna is tiny and has almost no footprint. I connected this BTFDREEM model and instantly got 70 channels with the antenna completed hidden behind my living room TV. I put it on the window sill 2 feet above the TV and still got 70 channels. I used the full 18 feet of cable to place the antenna outside of my backdoor on the deck. Rescanned and got all 74 channels. Ideally I would like to find a position next to the TV that gives me the full 74 channels but of the 4 missing channels, PBS is the only channel of note I dont get when the antenna sits behind the TV. And I do still get a different PBS channel so its no big deal. Next, I plugged in the Ostrat 450 Mile antenna. It is about double the size of the BTFDREEM model and when I scanned, the maximum number of channels I could find was 22. I moved the antenna around to different parts of the room and couldnt get any more than 22 channels. This antenna also has an 18 foot cable so I extended it outside to my back deck, scanned, and was able to get 24 total channels. Needless to say, Ill be returning the Ostrat and keeping this BTFDREEM model. I bought the BTFDREEM on 5/28/2023 when it was on sale for $6 which was a steal. Unfortunately, I only bought one and 2 days later, the price is back up to $24. The Ostrat was $23 so at least I can return the more expensive model and get my money back. Ill be keeping the BTFDREEM no matter what, but if I am unable to find the perfect spot behind the TV that gets all 74 channels, I may consider trying a few more antenna models in the future. If you can afford to be patient, consider saving this BTFDREEM model in your cart and waiting for it to go on sale again. I hope this review helps!

Greater than one weekI live within 25 miles of our local tv stations and this antenna was unable to get a signal from any of these stations. Advertising this antenna to have a range of 320 miles is misinformation.

> 3 dayPoor quality antenna provides barely any reception for my local channels. I cant even watch the news channels because this antenna doesnt work. Bunny ears antennas work better than this. But its 2023 I didnt want to use those anymore. I want something more modern.

Greater than one weekI had low expectations for this antenna. There are so many choices. I know the flat antennas work pretty good, but I wanted one that I could place by the window on the window sill, without hanging it on the wall. I am completely surprised at how good this antenna worked with my Sony TV. I just wanted to get the major networks so I can watch the occasional large sporting event on our large screen TV in the movie room. Every local major network channel came in perfect. I am in Clovis, CA, fairly close to the foothill antenna locations. I used the distance setting and plugged the antenna into my TVs USB port.

> 3 dayThis is exactly what I was looking for. I canceled my cable service about a 2 years ago but miss watching some shows. I installed this antena in the bedroom tv and I now I am able to watch live news and some TV shows without paying the high cost of cable.

> 3 dayUnfortunately, this antenna didnt work well for me. I live about 85 miles south of the major stations local towers, but the antenna only received one of them and only when connected to a small TV upstairs. It only found a handful of other stations upstairs but nothing Id care to watch and found nothing downstairs when connected to my main TV, which is what I bought it for. (Im thinking because it was downstairs and not near a north-facing window like the upstairs TV.) Hint to new installers: make sure your TV is set to antenna if it shared a connection with cable or else it wont find any stations.

Greater than one weekIts not the greatest but at least it received more local channels than the one I sent back.
