Clear TV Blackbox

I keep seeing the clear tv black box advertised.
Anyone knkw if it really does work well...or just another scam product.
I am almost tempted to order a couple but hoping someone here can give me feedback.

Thanks.

I haven't tried one because I doubt I would pick up more than 1 or 2 station where I live. But since broadcast TV went digital it might bring in a pretty good picture. Let us know if you try it.

I looked around a bit, and you can get it at Amazon and possibly Walgreens.
(Then you could bring it back!)

Amazon reviews were not too good. It apparently works to some extent. I did see some online reviews that said that it didn't really work any better than a lot of much cheaper antennas.

Your mileage may vary

Save your money. Indoor antennas only work if you live near the transmitter.
