Good evening,
I also bought this specific antenna because of its ability to pick up cable channels, but while at first it was able to catch all the channels, some with ease and some with difficulty, suddenly it stopped picking up most of them except for the state channels. The previous reviewers mentioned that it requires some adjustment on the decoder. I don't know how to do this from the TV; from the antenna? How?
Anyway, initially I will say it's good, but in a later stage, after I learn about the adjustment, I will come back with an update. I can't give it 5 stars... I give it 4 because it worked and maybe with the adjustment I can make it work again.

In the midst of the Coronavirus and lockdown, surely the time spent with the TV in operation has increased. I want to emphasize that I live on the first floor, but luckily there is no other apartment blocking me from the side where I have the TV and the antenna. I placed the antenna right next to the TV, seeing other rooftop antennas pointing in a similar direction. I had difficulties catching all the channels, but I made a modification that helped me. I cut a piece of aluminum foil and placed it with a clip on the antenna cable between the antenna plug and the cable, not on the TV plug. Since then, it catches all the channels perfectly, I don't know if it affected it, but it did the job for me.
I consider the antenna very good in terms of being able to catch all the channels right away, but if you're not in an ideal position, you might need some additional amplification. I couldn't manage to do the amplification that someone mentioned.
Overall, I am satisfied with this indoor antenna.
