We got this for our spare bedroom as we live in a new build house and we had cabling two the other rooms we wanted TVs but not to the spare bedroom. We thought this would be a good option which did not involve drilling any holes or routing cables.
When this arrived I was quite surprised quite how small it was, I thought that it was probably not going to get a good signal being so small, as we do struggle a bit even with our big aerial in the loft. It is easy to set up, all you need to do is screw the receiver part into the base and plug it in the to the TV, then depending on your TV, all we needed to do was scan for channels.
It picked up all the channels we would expect and they are all crystal clear, we are very impressed! One thing to note is that the room we are using it in and the windowsill we have it placed in faces the direction we get the best reception, I imagine if we tried it at the other end of the house it would not be so successful.
The aerial is well made and is made out of a sturdy-feeling metal. When my partner asked how much it was worth and I told her she was shocked, she would have been willing to pay double for it as it was such a good experience to set up and use. One other thing is that the length of the cable is not the longest and if you have far to run it then you maybe will want to measure before buying, but for us, this worked well as it was literally 6 inches from the window to the TV so it meant we did not have too much excess cable.
