I have to admit that I was a tad bit frustrated at first when I hooked this up to my TV; I got fewer channels that I did with my old flat antenna. I had the amplifier attached, which, should at least get me more channels not less. I tried different positions with the antenna but nothing seemed to work, 24 channels only (my old broken antenna got 32). Then I decided to disconnect the amplifier and scan again. 41 channels!! I am not sure why it work better without it since I am really far from the TV towers, but it did. I am happy with this product.
