Review: Amazing effective for something that looks more like a place mat than an antenna. - How well any HD antenna works is dependent on 4 things; design, location of antenna in house, strength of signal or proximity to signal, and obstacles between you and the signal source, such as tall buildings, mountains, or electrical towers. I have had 3 experiences with HD indoor antennas. The first two were with Terk style indoor antennas, the kind with one arm and several varying sized cross pieces. In one instance, in a house in the middle of a subdivision in suburban St. Louis (Creve Coeur), I only pulled in 8 stations, and had to adjust the antenna for half of them. In the 2nd instance, I was in Lake St. Louis, MO, where there were no tall buildings, and even though I was farther away from the signal towers, I pulled in 13 stations, and did not have to move the antenna once I determined it's optimal position. The design of the Winegard Compan FL-5000 FlatWave HDTV Indoor Flat Antenna has been described as looking "like a place mat at a table setting." That's accurate, it's just a coaxial cable attached to thin rectangular pad looking piece. Despite it's flimsy and non-techy appearance, this antenna works very well for me. I presently live in Bridgeton, MO, a northern suburb of St. Louis. I am in the middle of a subdivision and our house is on the crest of a hill. It is surrounded by 60 foot trees, but they don't seem to interfere with the signal. Installation is easy. You attached the end of the cable to your TV or monitor, go into the channel setup and scan for channels. I installed this in my basement. I have a Sanyo TV/Monitor that I have attached to my computer, and I attached the antenna to it. Initially, I hung the antenna from the ceiling of the basement. The antenna comes with 15 feet of cable, which is more than most of them have. I used cable connectors and added 2 more 6 foot sections to it so I could place the antenna in one of the basement windows on the other side of my basement. After I did that, I was able to pull in 20 stations, of which 16 come in strong and steady. I highly recommend this antenna, but with the qualifier that as stated in the beginning of my review, be mindful of the other variables affecting reception. It works best if you can install it in or near a window. I bought this one used for $20 and consider it a bargain.
Review: Piling on to the positive reviews - Like many others here, I was skeptical even as I was ordering this thing. How in the world is this non-amplified, flimsy, *internal* antenna going to be any better than the amplified external antenna I have on a mast on the roof of my two-story home? However, we'd just experienced some of the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in the Midwest (obviously, NOTHING like the coast, but we did get some pretty stiff winds). The antenna mount broke off of my chimney sending the Phillips antenna crashing 10 feet to the top of my flat roof. While things seemed okay, OTA TV reception was never the same. Prior to the storm, we were able to receive Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, and PBS digital stations. After the storm, the only station that was reliably coming in was ABC (at least we got to watch Castle!). Even before this, though, I was never fully happy with the external antenna. It was VERY sensitive to direction, and we would momentarily lose signal whenever a helicopter or airplane went overhead (which is pretty often... we seem to be on a common flight path for medevac helicopters in one direction, and we are on long final for a business jet airport in another). Invariably, our commercials would be interruption-free, while just at the moment a show was coming to climax, a police chopper would loiter in just the right spot to screw up our picture. ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ First world problems, right? So then I unbox the Winegard Flatwave. What? This is it? This flimsy little sheet with a few lines running through it and a wimpy little coax cable (seriously... it's not much thicker than an iPhone charger cable)? How in the WORLD is this is supposed to be better? These other reviewers must be smoking something. Whatever. So I plug it in and run my channel scan on the Samsung tuner. At the end of it all... 25 channels. Wait... what? 25? But... I only started with around 14! Sure enough... this thing freaking works. I don't know how. I don't know what kind of black magic Winegard has blessed this with. I hope I haven't sold my soul to anyone to get crystal clear OTA from channels I saw on AntennaWeb but never thought I would receive. I am absolutely astounded that this thing works, despite being slapped haphazardly near my TV in the general direction (not specifically aimed... just kinda sorta aimed somewhat in the right direction) of our local transmitters. On the bottom floor of a two story brick home, absolutely surrounded by other two story brick homes and large, mature trees. I've spend a ridiculous amount of time aiming, tweaking, and otherwise messing with the amplified external antenna. I literally spend all of 90 seconds installing this, and that included unpacking it and snipping the wire ties from the coax, disconnecting the other antenna from the digital tuner and connecting this antenna. Another few minutes to run the channel scan. Then another few minutes sitting with absolute amazement in front of my TV at how well it was not only pulling in the channels I had to work so painstakingly to get before the wind storm, but also channels I never thought I would get. For those in the St. Louis area, I am in the South City area near Tower Grove Park. Aiming the antenna in a generally southern direction (as it is draped right now, more of a SSW direction), I receive the following digital channels, as well as all of their subchannels: 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 24, 30, 46, 51. Don't bother with huge aerials, messing with needing to ground masts on your roof, trying to find the EXACT aiming point, running coax all over the outside and inside of your house... just buy one of these Winegard FL-5000 FlatWave antennas for each TV you want to get OTA on and save yourself the time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slightly Better...
*by J***X on March 7, 2014*

For my precise environment. location, & reception sweet spot, I find this antenna slightly better than the Mohu Leaf or the AmazonBasics Extreme. I find it significantly better than the RCA "tile" looking antenna which was good but much less useful due to its greater weight and related less flexibility of use. In general, all of these thin indoor antennas work well, the bigger the better. I think what makes this one one effective for me is that this FL-5000 is larger than the Amazon-Basics versions and both are bigger than the Mohu Leaf. Surface area of any antenna and not amplification is what makes the difference. The general finding among outside antennas is regardless the fancy design differences, 30 inch is the cut off point. Know this: any outdoor antenna is superior to any indoor antenna, simply due to the fact that the signals have no walls or indoor electronics to pass through. Height is a factor. No indoor antenna can defeat the real gains obtained with significantly greater height. Also, when a major brand indoor antenna produces little to no results for you, this doesn't mean the antenna is no good or that the other 90% of pleased owners are demented. From all three antennas I mentioned I got at least 9 channels. With the AmazonBasics I get very good signals from 6 towers that are 50 miles away in another state (Toledo, Ohio). With the FL-5000 I get 9 from Toledo and three from Ann Arbor. Here is what I do. I make a "tower" out of cardboard boxes so my antenna is equal to the top of my walls. I then begin methodically testing positions, running a channel scan with each move. Once, I find the sweet spot, I try all three flat antennas. I did this for my main living room and the family room. I can not get the same channels in both rooms. Between two rooms, I receive a total of 30 channels. In one room I get CBET 9 Canada and both Toledo and Detroit PBS stations, 6 total. We have Roku & cable TV. The picture quality of the HD channels is significantly better with over the air than with HD Cable TV. This spring I'm getting a Winegard outdoor antenna. From my precise location, I figure I can get 50 channels when I add Ann Arbor, all of Toledo and Detroit and channels in line with us & Lansing - Flint. Tip - try different antennas. Begin with the least expensive one that has a good buyer rating & locate your sweet spot. . Keep the shipping materials and keep the antenna in pristine condition so you can return it and try the next cheapest antenna. ..
