Solid Signal HDBLADE100VC Xtreme Wide Clear Flat Indoor HDTV Antenna

Best reception I have received after trying several other variations of indoor antennas. The problem I had with the others was that they would only get certain channels in a certain position. This is the first one that gets all the channels without having to move it for better reception. I did have to try different areas, but I was able to find the one that was best for all channels. It was not possible to do so with the others.

I cut the cord. I did it. Was tired of having to donate plasma twice a month to pay my cable bill! Well not really, but you get the idea. I bought this as I'm a fan of Solid Signal (get their daily e-mail deals alerts) and am impressed on how they stand behind their products. They also have an antenna help line number and videos that help with things like installation, mounting an antenna on your roof, attic, etc. I have it hooked up to my 60 inch Vizio and it pulls down about 32 channels within about a 35 to 40 mile radius (I live in Tulsa, OK and have towers to the North and Southeast from where I rest my weary head). I actually have mine laying flat on top of my entertainment center and it does fine. I saw where some folks have used menu holders on these flat antenna's to get them to stand upright. SS offers a little plastic holder for $4.99 on their website but you end up paying just as much in shipping so I'm not willing to purchase it (I think it should actually just be included as part of the deal and not a separate item - but hey, it's all about getting you to pay extra for the accessories these days...am I right?). Speaking of accessories, this particular model does include an amplifier. I have mine plugged into the USB port on my TV for power and most of the time it does well. Occasionally, the cable does wiggle loose and it loses it's amplification ability, however I think the culprit here are my 6 and 3 year olds who tend to bump the cabinet when fishing for lost Legos. Also, if you didn't notice, it's clear, so if you wanted to stick it on the wall it's probably less obtrusive. It does come with 2 pieces seriously sticky double sided tape (mounts on the small back square at the bottom center) so maybe check out where your best signal is with some masking or painter's tape before you peel and stick this stuff to the antenna and/or wall. So if you want a "solid signal" get you one (or two or three of these) if you live fairly close to your TV towers and want to stop giving your kids college fund to the Evil Cable Empire!!!

I have been trying to find the right indoor antenna, from HD rabbit ears to flat HD antennas.When I read the reviews on this antenna, I thought "What do I have to loose?, if it doesnt work out I'll send it back & ask for a refund." From the moment I hooked it up the picture quality was sharp & the reception is at least 90%, compare to what we tried. I haven't lost reception on the main channels that I would normally loose reception. Once you know where to place it, you would be surprised at how well it works. It scanned 69 channels, most were not of my interest so I programmed only the channels I want. The only con with this antenna is that you have to buy your own caox cable, which I purchased for no more than $6.00 on amazon.I recommend this to anyone that does not want to burn a hole in their pocket for an HD indoor antenna to pick up over the air channels.

The Solid Signal HDBLADE is a mini powerhouse antenna that is as good as any I have tried. Because of it’s small size and light weight it is easy to place or hide in a convenient location. You can see the difference on your HDTV screen between this and other antennas. The HDBLADE gives super sharp image reproduction that is surprising and quite enjoyable to watch. It’s definitely the best of its class.

So far so good. I bought this to replace my Muhu Leaf antenna, which got about 30 chanels, but the was a lot of "choppiness"The Solid Signal HDBLADE Wide Clear Flat Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna (HDBLADE100VCA) went up in minutes and I picked up about 10 more channels. The only down side is the amp has a USB power cord. I found an old iPhone charger and plugged the USB cord into that so I could plug it into the 110 wall receptacle. Seemed to work. The mini USB is pretty flimsy and made of soft metal so be careful! I bent mine to 90 degrees just by pushing it in for power. Thankfully, it bent right back as I thought It was going to snap off for sure. It's obviously made from recycled Chinese beer cans. Other that that, it's fine!

I had an RCA indoor flat digital antenna rated at 25 miles. Now, I'm not 25 miles from the station towers, not even close, and I couldn't pick up the 12 channels available without moving the thing around.This one is fabulous. I'm picking up 3 additional channels from the adjacent state! I am using the amplifier from the RCA...which saved me 15 bucks.This thing is super thin, you'd barely notice it whether on a wall or a window.Between Amazon Prime, Google tv & now this antennae, I'm pocketing $120 in savings from cutting off Dish. This antennae is the bomb!

I've tried alot of indoor antennas for my tv....and not one would really pickup all the signals floating around in my neighborhood. The first time I connected this antenna and did a reset on my channel's...this toy looking antenna 📡 worked.... It pulled in every station in my area. I highly recommend this antenna.

The antenna is OK... The amplifier is OK. I get more consistent reception from more stations with a 3 foot single telescopic antenna to be honest. I did get less drop outs from planes flying over head (Im a few miles from the air port). What annoyed me is the genders on everything are reversed to what would be helpful in my setup. For instance, you cant try the amp with another antenna without a gender adapter. I've tried the brand name (leaf) and knock offs (like this one) and they all need fiddling with between stations. The one I had the most success with was "HD Digital Indoor Flat Amplified TV Antenna (Powered By USB) by Satechi" but I left it attached to the wall at my old apartment when I moved out and foolishly didn't repurchase it.
