Well, for the price I paid it's not terrible, however...
The included amplifier is garbage, I've plugged it into 3 different power sources (TV (As recommended), PC (Cause it's also right there), even gave it its own cellphone charger adapter) and it actually makes the signal worse, not better. All 3 powered it up by the way, the blue light lit up for all 3 sources of power, so it's not a power issue.Amplifier aside, the Antenna performs marginally well. I am getting 34 channels OTA with minimal loss of signal, there are supposed to be 46 in the area that a "50mile" antenna should be able to pick up. So to get 2/3 of that, without a working amplifier, seems pretty reasonable to me. I did try different orientations and locations with it, 34 was the best I could do, any other orientation/location combos produced ~25 channels with lots of signal loss.So I am as good as I am gonna get I suppose, and I am only about 12-30 miles from all of the broadcast antennas that this thing is picking up, which is why it's only being given 3 stars. Even at the antenna that I know is 12 miles away (No mountains or hills, and I am on the second floor of the house) there's still loss of reception that occurs 2-3 times every 1/2 hour. It's for microseconds typically, and usually results in tiling, or stutter, but it definitely could do better. For $13 though, it's not bad enough to warrant a return at this point.

Great product worth the $$$
Great product I was skeptical, but I was sick of taping up my rabbit ears anntena which my cat thought was a toy. I got this because I wanted to watch the Beverly Hills 90210 reboot on FOX, but I got a few stations I didn't think Id receive. It is easy to install and well worth the money... Thank you Iam soo pleased with this purchase!!!!

Must have a USB port for optimum results.
I was able to scan 22 channels with this antenna. I have a cheap GE model rated for 49 miles and was able to scan 47.
