This product along with any other antenna works great if you know how to hook it up.
1. Remove the cable line from the back of the TV.
2. Screw in Clear TV or any other antenna where you removed cable line.
3. Go into menu on TV and switch from Cable to Air.
4. Auto program.
5. That's it, you are done.
Stop bashing the product if YOU didn't hook it up right.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
