Overcharge

By Kristin, Gwinn, MI, Verified Reviewer

I was charged $27.93 for the Free TV. They refuse to credit my card even though I sent them a screenshot of my statement showing I was over charged. Do NOT order through this company.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Don't blame them

By Cary, Staten Island, New York , Verified Reviewer

The thing is, the wrong people are being to blame. Everything was going great until the FCC stepped in and took away analog, now you have to pay for something that was once free. The government is in your pocket once again.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Biggest junk - waste of money

By Merle Kapp, Daytona Beach, FL, Verified Reviewer

The first time it was able to bring four channels. Then 13 channels. All useless Spanish or old useless channels. Now, three weeks later, it's dead. Nothing!

I bought two. I am unable to return. If you see this ad on your Facebook, click to let them know it's a scam. Straight from China.

100% scam

By Terri S., Woodward, IA, Verified Reviewer

Absolutely worthless! I tried it on 4 different televisions in different areas of my home in every configuration possible. I received not one single station! I don't know what else to say except that it didn't work at all!

Not worth it.

By Carlos Garcia, Texas, Verified Reviewer

It only gets one channel. I tried to look for instructions to see if I did it wrong, but it turns out that it's just the antenna. I would mot recommend it to anyone. I lost out on ten dollars.

Defective

By Bonnie Q., Walkerton, IN, Verified Reviewer

Poor customer service, tried to talk to them about the little black box not working. It only picks up 16 station, where my cheap $19.99 picks up 27.

I hooked it up to different TVs in different rooms, nothing. I told them I was sending it back, no help with the cost of shipping back, even though it was not working correctly. It cost $35.00 to send back. Writing BBB.

My $10 antenna works better

By Gary P., Broken Arrow, OK, Verified Reviewer

Also, charged me $30 to return it. That's a lot of money to try a product. It has cured me of ordering, will never order an item again. Plenty of local stores selling antennas. It would benefit them to have quality customer service and cover shipping to create happy customers.

Gave it a try and I paid for it.

Total scam

By Dana G., Middleton, ID, Verified Reviewer

I received the product and hooked it up. I now received only 7 channels! Before connecting with “Free HD TV” I received 21 channels. Their customer service is non-existent, they don’t speak American English and intentionally try to confuse and evade customer contact. It is a pure scam of foreign entrepreneurs sucking American dollars for a bogus Chinese manufactured product of non-indigenous origin.

They cannot support this inferior product, have no technical involvement, and will only steal your money without any support.

They need to go home and get real jobs!

Not worth the money

By Derek L., Flint, MI, Verified Reviewer

I thought this antenna might be better than the $35 window antenna that I already have. It's not!

Save yourself $50–$60 plus the $29 shipping fee and the return fee and buy a good quality window antenna.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

It was easy to assemble

It doesn't work as well as described

It's large and awkward looking for indoor use

You have to pay for shipping

Not worth the money

By Barbara K., West Seneca, NY, Verified Reviewer

First of all, this antenna is not worth the money. The picture tears out. As much as you move the antenna and move the knob on the box, you can’t correct the poor reception. Even with much less expensive antennas, local channels came in clearly. Not with this one! It even distorts the picture and sound when anyone moves around in the room.

Not so good

By Vicki Ross, Van Alstyne, TX, Verified Reviewer

I believe this antenna is too small to get good reception. I have better reception with my homemade antenna.

Have to move it for each channel.

Worked for a while

By Enzo Aiello, New Jersey, Verified Reviewer

I got this antenna, and it worked for a while, then it just stopped showing clear channels. I tried changing it from the location because I thought the walls of the building next to ours were blocking the signal, but it did not work any better. I stopped using it.

Long range not as advertised

By John B., Gainesville, FL, Verified Reviewer

I purchased this antenna based on the advertised range of 200 miles. I tried positioning the antenna in multiple places including finally a window.

Unfortunately, this antenna worked no better than a less expensive indoor antenna I use on another set, barely picking up stations about 45 miles away.

I guess the 200-mile range advertised only works if you live on a very high hill or mountain.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Easy to hook up and place

The product description advertised a 200 mile range, however, the product barely picked up on stations 45 miles away

It does ok, for the price

By Robert M., Jacksonville, FL, Verified Reviewer

On the channels I'm receiving, the picture looks very good. It was very easy to install. I got it thru Amazon, and it arrived fast.

Advertised as "200+ miles channels reception", and yet I can't get a station that's only about 20 miles from me; what's up with that? The flat piece of ugly plastic has to be moved around to get certain channels and some do get cut off and come on.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Easy to install

Good picture quality, only on good receptive channels

It's ugly, a big flat piece of plastic

Does not get promised range (200 miles)

Have to move around to get certain channels

Good locals but nothing over 35 miles

By Jeff E., Indianapolis, IN, Verified Reviewer

Good local stations but I did not get any reception over 35, not 120 miles reception. I probably can get as good an antenna cheaper on Amazon or anywhere else.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

It's black

Nothing special about it, a long piece of wire does as good a job

Just okay

By Elle, Scottsdale, AZ, Verified Reviewer

I have an HOA that does not allow external antennas or anything that takes away from aesthetics. So this was clear and not obvious from the outside. I also live in a cinderblock building. The window faces the courtyard and is on the first floor. I suctioned it to the window with no problem. I hooked it up to a basic HD TV no smart apps. I logged 37 channels. However, channels like the CW were spotty at best. I was able to get the news and weather. Total of three main channels that were clear. The other clear ones were all televangelists. PBS did get intermittent distortion.

That being said, there was a thunderstorm going on. My neighbor has a GE and says he gets good reception. I will need to check his out. I plan just to adjunct Netflix and Amazon TV. I was able to use the USB option and got the channels while untethered to the TV, not too shabby. I need to experiment on location to see if it helps reception. I did not have high expectations. However, I do feel it's overpriced at $29.95.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

TV Antenna

By Wanda B., Jasper, TX, Verified Reviewer

We received our TV Antenna and have it in use now. We programmed the TV and have ABC out of Beaumont, TX. They have four selections Ch.12-1, Ch.12-2, Ch.12-3, and Ch.12-4. We are disappointed to have only the four listed above as our selection on this TV. When we used another antenna, several months ago, we were able to get reception from Louisiana. We placed the antenna in a North-facing window. It is placed as far on the upper part of the window as we can.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Very easy to install

Unable to receive any more than the four, as listed above

Posted on Jan 21, 2021

Just okay

By Patricia T., Spanaway, WA, Verified Reviewer

So far the most I’ve gotten is two channels that are worth anything and then only sometimes. The rest of the channels that load are horribly distorted or it says no signal. I had my heart set on at least three out of four of the local channels that I miss so much.

Length of Use: 3–6 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Didn’t cost that much

Easy to hook up

Hard to find a good location to receive channels

Constantly have to rescan for channels

Bartlett's Review

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pros and Cons

Price

Light-weight

It does not pick up as many channels as I hoped for

I sometimes pick up different channels at night than I do in the daytime

By Nikandra R., Akron, OH, Verified Reviewer

I do not think it is my area.

HD Free TV

By Linda, Texas, Verified Reviewer

I guess I'm one of the exceptions. I bought mine from Groupon (2 for $18). I installed them in two bedrooms and I'm picking up over 30 channels. I'm located in a Dallas suberb. I'm going to buy more for other bedrooms to get channels I don't get on Time Warner cable.

Works for me

By Carl McLean, Charlotte, NC, Verified Reviewer

Good thing I didn't read the reviews until AFTER I tested this product. A friend gave me the antenna for free and said: "try it." So, I never had to go through the purchase process. But, my TV is on my deck, and I'm watching at least 22 channels with NO issues. Great signal. I wonder, though, if I will have a different experience once I move the TV inside? Time will tell. Until then, it's ALL good!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

OK but not perfect
