Small and neat
Love it. I recently hung my tv on wallnin lounge. I wanted to hide my wires. This is great because as it's magnetic it hides behind my tv on the wall. Good clear picture. Good reception. Does what it says on the tin. Very happy.

Works for me, but beware no return policy!
I took a chance on buying this on a Black Friday deal, despite numerous warnings of it not being returnable. I've never been able to get Freeview where I used to live, but used the Freeview website postcode checker first and it said I could get 45 channels. So I thought I'd give it a go. I live in an old house with thick walls, so thought I was taking a risk with such a little aerial (I don't have a main aerial, I only have Sky) but still, I plugged it into my bedroom TV and set it to auto scan. It took a few minutes, but 37 channels appeared and all crystal clear! Still, I was perplexed though - the website said 45 channels and I only got 37. I re-ran the tuning process several times but kept getting the same. Frustrating! Then I realised it was actually all the HD channels that were missing! Even more frustrating! And then, with a little bit of research, after holding the aerial responsible, I realised my 5 year old TV only has Freeview built in, not Freeview HD! DUH!!!! So it wasn't the aerials fault at all, despite the TV being capable of a HD picture (as in through Sky), it doesn't have a Freeview HD tuner, so simply cannot pick up the HD channels! I admit, I did feel a bit stupid! So to summarise - the little aerial is great! I've knocked off a star for the no return policy which I've NEVER seen before on Amazon Prime! It's quite shocking really and I don't understand and wonder if it's an error? There's absolutely no reason this should not be able to be returned. What I will say, is CHECK YOUR POSTCODE FOR THE CHANNELS YOU CAN RECEIVE FIRST! The website is there to help and is incredibly accurate. I tried the aerial on my newer TV and got all the HD channels as well, so indeed got the 45 channels promised. I believe in some areas it's possible to get over 100 Freeview channels! But not where I live. And that's ok because the website told me exactly which channels I would get, and hey, they're free! DON'T just expect to plug it in and be guaranteed channels, and don't expect to plug it in and for the channels to magically pop up without tuning your TV! I can't help but wonder if a lot of the negative reviews are due to user error? After all, I was blaming it for having no HD channels, and it wasn't the aerial at fault at all, it was me being thick! I'm really delighted with it, but please do check your areas service first because that no return policy is a kicker. I might even email the seller about that because I'm sure it can't be right? Can it?

Not as expected
Wasn’t what I expected and doesn’t do what it was intended for, ie improve viewing on some tv channels

Brilliant ariel that works
This ariel is absolutely brilliant, my tv is in the middle of my bungalow, so it's very difficult to get an ariel fitted. Thought I would try this ariel and it works, brilliant picture on 50inch tv. Highly recommend

Improved reception and easy to use
I bought this as part of our outdoor setup for watching the World Cup games, and it has performed well overall. The main thing I wanted was a decent signal for match nights outside, and this did improve reception enough to make a noticeable difference. It was fairly straightforward to install, and once in place it has worked reliably without any issues. For the price, I think it offers solid value and does exactly what it’s meant to do.

Excellent small aerial.
Really surprised by this. I didn't pay attention to the small size when ordering and when it arrived, I looked at the box and thought "that's going back", but gave it a go. It's not flimsy plastic and the picture is really good for a non-powered aerial (I wanted to keep the USB socket on the TV free), only very occasional glitches and the HD freeview channels are fine. Also the small size makes it unobtrusive on the window ledge.

Oku kazıklanma
Anlatılanlara inanmayın hiç bir etkisi yok. Çekim gücü hani o tel çubuk antenler varya radyo anteni gibi inanın onlar daha etkili. Paranıza yazık etmeyin

Fa il suo lavoro ma occorre pazienza per trovare la giusta posizione
Ho montato la antenna in prossimità di una finestra e ho constatato che anche piccole variazioni della posizione determinavano forti variazioni del segnale ricevuto ho allora fatto le prove in tutte le pozioni e altezze, anche con la antenna inclinata e sono riuscito a trovare una pozione che mi permette captare tutti i canali come la antenna che ho sul tetto.

Preis-Leistung sehr gut – Lasst euch nicht von den schlechten Bewertungen täuschen!
Ich habe diese DVB-T2-Antenne jetzt seit einigen Tagen im Einsatz und bin absolut begeistert. Kurz gesagt: Empfang und Bildqualität sind top! Das Bild ist gestochen scharf und es gibt keinerlei Ruckler oder Pixelfehler. Auch haptisch macht das Produkt einen super Eindruck, das Material ist wirklich hochwertig verarbeitet und wirkt keineswegs billig. Für diesen Preis ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis sehr gut. Ein wichtiger Rat an alle Käufer: Meine klare Empfehlung ist, vor dem Kauf zu checken, ob es in der eigenen Gegend überhaupt möglich ist, mit einer Zimmerantenne Signale zu empfangen (dafür gibt es im Internet einfache Verfügarkeitskarten). Wenn ich mir hier die negativen Bewertungen durchlese, kann ich nur den Kopf schütteln. Die schlechten Rezensionen kommen zu 99 % daher, dass Leute gefühlt in ihrem Keller, 500 Kilometer entfernt vom nächsten Empfangsmast, ein Signal empfangen wollen und sich dann wundern, dass es nicht funktioniert. Eine Zimmerantenne kann keine physikalischen Wunder vollbringen. Ergo: Lasst euch nicht von den schlechten Rezensionen wegen mangelnder Empfangsqualität täuschen. Wer in einem ordentlichen Sendegebiet wohnt und die Antenne richtig positioniert (am besten in Fensternähe), bekommt hier ein absolutes Spitzenprodukt. Von mir gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung!
