This digital TV antenna receives clear digital TV signals from up to 35 miles away. The table- or wall-mountable design allows for optimal placement.

Nice antenna to get those local HD's

from Imperial, mo
I purchased this antenna as an option for when Directv fails and also to see if I can go without Directv in the
The antenna tended to be priced higher than I wanted to pay, but I have used the companies antennas in the past and loved them. They are also a local Missouri company so I like to support them.
I had some problems assembling the antenna with the stand. I will admit I did not read the install directions, but I feel it should not need to be done.
Also I decided I did not want the stand anyway as my plan was to hook it into the TV and place the antenna flat and under the TV stand or flat against the wall behind the stand. Both options have provide excellent reception!
Love the antenna
What's great about it: small form factor, great reception
What's not so great: price tends to be high compared to other options, assembly
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm stunned how a little Android TV like this can pack so much punch!
What I love:
- Small
- no noise what so ever
- comes with a remote and gamepad
- quick, responsive
- It plays local files and files over my network, EVERY format I THROW AT IT!
- How it was shipped (the packaging), the box, the experience
- Pairing any type of external peripheral devices was a total Breeze (Rii i8+ Bluetooth Mini Keyboard, and Xbox 360 Controller)
- It's a futureproof box. I do not see myself changing this anytime soon, and I don't even have a 4k tv yet!

What I like:
- The software it comes preloaded with!
- The quality of streaming - YouTube, Netflix, Amazon, Kodi! (Video)
- The community (help, tutorials and more)
- Playing my classic Emulated Games
- Cord cutting all in one replacement (I flushed my cable service provided TV and replaced it with the Shield and Antenna)
- The price for what you get. It may seem steep, but when you actually see what you get for $200 it's a decent deal
- The remote seams cheap at 1st, but it really is top quality, even compared to a PS4 remote
- Game selection is good

What could be better:
- The interface (OS) of the shield it a bit clunky in my opinion
- this box can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be, and when things get complex, you got to know what you are doing.
- My Wife cannot use this when she wants to show something to our kids
- Not as many compatible apps form Google I would have liked.
- I found GeForcenow to be a good selling point, but in realty I do not use it that much... The experience is stable but you need a very good internet connection, and the games are a bit dated. I rather play my emulators, but that might be just me.

Get this box if : You want a fantastic streaming cord cutting futureproof machine !!!
You will not regret it!
It's an All in one package for a good price!
$200 is a hefty sum, but think about it, you just cut $80-100/ month on Television, you will pay this back in no time!

Gaming tip
February 26, 2017
I had the same issues with the GEFORCE Now games. I found out in the GeForce now settings it is set a default at 1080p 60fps. I changed it to 720p 60fps and saw much better performance. I might even try lowering it one more time to 720p 30fps.
