Overview
A living room window or wall is the target spot for this Flatwave panel, a very thin indoor antenna that gathers broadcast television signals and passes them to the TV over a coaxial lead.
Winegard makes the panel thin enough to disappear against glass or paint, and the listed reach gives a rough idea of the distance it can handle. The model name includes Amped, but the listing does not describe the amplifier or any power supply.
Who it's for
Renters and small households that want over-the-air local channels without drilling or mounting suit this panel. Rural viewers far from broadcast towers should consider a larger outdoor model.
Pros and cons
- Thin panel for window or wall
- Light enough to hang on a wall
- Range quoted in miles
- Amplifier details not described
- Power adapter not listed
- Indoor use only
Performance notes
Reception depends on how close the towers are, what stands between them and the panel, and how high and near a window it hangs. Glass and thin walls let signals through, while brick, metal and foil-backed insulation block them. A small repositioning often changes which channels lock in.
