Given the other reviews I bought this item locally just in case I had to return it. It was very simple to put together (<5 minutes).
The reception is a lot better than with my old RCA amplified rabbit ears. It is certanly not perfect in a few channels but I can now see all the channels I want to see. Additionally most channels reception is near perfect.

Well in reading the other profiles- I must say that they might have installed the TV-5 wrong- In the beginning- I thought reception was poor compared to the rabbit ears that I had before- I adjusted and the reception became better- What you need to do is slide the amplification to MAX and then you get more channels and much better reception compared to the rabbit ears- After I boosted power - I was quite happy to get better reception than before- including channels I never got. So I am a happy customer.

I purchased this from the local electronics superstore hoping to improve my local reception. I'm located in the burbs and don't have line of sight with the transmitter towers. After a simple hookup, I couldn't tell that the antenna made any difference in reception. You may have better luck, but, I would suggest you purchase from a vendor that provides an easy return policy.
