I live in a valley and am within 15 miles of most major towers in the Pittsburgh area and I am pulling in 26 channels with good quality pictures...I have used the MOHU antenna and was getting poor reception with it, only 14 channels, so I get the major networks - ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC without issue. I bought this at a CVS store for $15.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
