Cheap but worked after finding a position
Needs the antenna cable fully unwrapping and then place the antenna on a metal surface as itβs a magnetic base and works much better on metal.I actually magnetised it to the back of the tv so itβs hidden now too.Overall a bit temperamental so if you are struggling to get a signal hold it in your hand when scanning to confirm the signal works as thatβs the best way to check. Then find a metal surface.

Good value
Good value did have a few problems in the beginning finding the right place to put aerial to get freeview reception nearly sent it back kept loosing the TV PICTURE but in the end I found it and have had a good clear reception since

Depends where the transmitter is
Easy to assemble but is dependent on how close you are to a transmitterMagnetic base and nice and neat but if you move in front of it or move it pictures fragmentCheap and cheerful, neat and unobtrusivebut donβt expect outdoor aerial results

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?

Amazing little aerial gives great picture
Easy to screw together and so small , I had doubts as Iβm not at all tech minded but it worked a treat on my friends 10 year old tv at her new flat with no tv aerial sockets or other means of getting TV channels just had to retune the tv .
