SHERRIVA SAF-6500 Indoor Amplified TV Antenna

Make your older TV a TV again.

Since cutting the cable to my TV, this antenna made my bedroom TV enjoyable again. Being on the second floor, my reception is fantastic. I have no idea just how far the tower is, but my picture quality excellent. Install was simple. Screw onto the old cable post, plug in the USB for power, and place the antenna in your window. The shape and color are not distracting at all. The adhesive foam pads allow you to mount it to the window. My faux window pane frame allows my to slide the antenna panel in between for support. You will definitely need to look-up how to program your TV for use with this antenna in order to get it to function as desired. This part will take the most time. For my older TV, it took roughly 6 minutes to log all the available stations.

Great Backup Option for Local Channels

I originally picked up this antenna as a backup, and I'm really glad I did. When our Fire Stick stopped working, this antenna kept the TV useful, and my daughter got to experience something I grew up with—flipping through regular TV channels. She actually thought it was pretty fun!

Setup was quick and easy. I connected it, positioned it near a window, and was able to scan for channels without any trouble. The reception has been solid, and I was pleasantly surprised by how many local channels it picked up.

One of my favorite things is being able to watch local news and sports without needing a subscription. It's nice to have access to those channels, especially during severe weather or live local events.

Overall, this antenna has worked great and is absolutely worth having around. Even if you mainly stream your content, it's a reliable backup for when the internet goes down or a streaming device stops working. It's an inexpensive way to make sure you always have access to local TV.

Ultra thin!

Having back up cable is really important for weather outages and just to save money overall. This antenna is paper thin. I mean seriously it is so think. It has a very clean overall aesthetic. The cable is white and can be hidden pretty well.

Easy to Set Up and Great Reception!

I won't be abandoning our cable provider any time soon, however this indoor TV antenna by Sherriva serves a good purpose. You check for available channels and the direction of the tower. Find a safe place to sit it on. Connect it to the back of the TV. Scan for channels. It's that easy. I was able to capture local TV channels with ease. You get the major news channels which is what I want and nothing else. This smart antenna device is very practical and inexpensive. I stick on the panel to the back of the TV and that's it. Highly recommend.

Great super thin digital antenna

I have a couple spare TV's around my house that I have hooked up and connected to WiFi for streaming apps, but none of them could view any local channels. I ordered this antenna and hooked it to the TV that I would most likely want to watch the local channels on, then I performed the channel scan built into the TV. My Tv was able to find over 70 local channels, and even more impressive was the local news channels are all coming in at full signal strenght. On the TV in our master bedroom I installed a digital antenna that costs 4 times what this antenna costs, and that TV only has 40 or so channels and the local news channels are constantly choppy and barely have a single bar of signal strenght. Overall I am very impressed with this super thin digital antenna, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable digital antenna!

Easy Setup, Strong Channel Reception, and a Great Alternative to Cable.

This indoor HDTV antenna turned out to be a much better experience than I expected, especially considering how compact and affordable it is. I mainly wanted access to local channels without paying for another cable package, and this antenna delivered surprisingly clear and reliable results.

Setup was extremely simple. I connected the antenna, plugged in the USB signal booster, ran a channel scan, and started picking up local stations within minutes. The included 16-foot cable was especially helpful because it gave me flexibility to position the antenna near a window for stronger reception.

What impressed me most was the picture quality. Channels came in crisp and clear, including HD broadcasts that looked excellent on a smart TV. Depending on location and signal conditions, reception can vary, but in my experience the antenna pulled in more channels than expected once positioned correctly.

The amplified signal booster definitely seems to help stabilize weaker stations. I noticed fewer interruptions and less signal drop compared to older non-amplified antennas I’ve tried in the past. The support for VHF and UHF channels also makes the antenna more versatile for different local broadcasts.

Another thing I appreciate is the slim, lightweight design. It’s easy to place discreetly behind a TV or on a wall without creating clutter or looking bulky like traditional antennas.

For anyone trying to reduce monthly cable costs, this feels like a very practical option. It works especially well for local news, sports, weather, and major network channels while complementing streaming services nicely.

Overall, this antenna offers solid performance, simple installation, and excellent value for anyone wanting free local TV channels with a clean indoor setup. If you’re looking for an affordable way to cut back on cable without losing access to local broadcasts, this is definitely worth considering.

Small & slim enough to hide behind the tv

This ultra-thin HDTV antenna was surprisingly easy to set up and works well for pulling in local channels without paying monthly cable fees. The slim design makes it easy to hide behind a TV or mount on a wall/window, and the included accessories made installation straightforward.

Channel reception was solid overall, especially for local stations, though results will naturally depend on your location and signal strength in the area. I also liked that the antenna feels lightweight without feeling overly cheap.

For anyone looking for an affordable way to access free local channels in HD, this is a simple and practical option that gets the job done.

Good Indoor Antenna

This is a very lightweight antenna that I was able to stick to the wall behind the TV, and once plugged into the TV and scanned I got a lot of channels with some tweaks to the location. I was able to pick a lot of channels every time I had to run the scanner again, and it picked more channels. One of them was a 4K channel. The antenna is compact and comes with a double-sided tape to stick to the TV or the wall: very easy setup and good quality.

Excellent reception!

This review is for the 2026 Indoor TV Antenna, Amplified HDTV Antenna with 65 Miles Reception.

After trying a few indoor antennae with mixed results, I finally found one that gave me all local channels without interruptions. This offering from SHERRIVA conforms with the latest ATSC 3.0 is the next generation of television broadcasting standards, which will give you up to 4K resolution (2160p) at 120 frames per second, wide color gamut, high dynamic range, Dolby AC-4 and MPEG-H 3D Audio.

I love the included 3M adhesive pads. You get 4, one for each corner, making it super easy to install. It is powered by the your TV's USB port which makes it convenient to hide the the slack of its 16ft cable. It shows it's connected and working by an LED light that sits above the antenna logo.

If you've been looking for an excuse to finally cut the cord and have only plenty of local channels, get one of these and you won't be disappointed.

Cut the Cord!

This antenna was very easy to connect. The USB powered amplifier really boosts the ability to tune in stations than those without this feature. The supplied cable length is plenty long enough to reach where you need it.

I was able to scan and find 89 channels in my area. Some came in stronger than others. Move the unit around to find your sweet spot before you mount it. I placed mine in an East facing window. I was happy that the color of this antenna is white since facing the east, other units black in color quickly fade.

Works way better with local channels than the last antenna I had.

I really like this amplified hdtv antenna. It was easy to install(plug and play) and only took a few tries (without a tower app) to get the reception as best as possible. The signal light is not bright and shows enough for me to know it's on and working. The 3m stick pads work well for placement after finding the right position. All the local channels come through great, and I don't have to move the antenna to get different channels to show. My old antenna was decent but many of the channels came through choppy and I was constantly adjusting it. I haven't had to move this antenna to get any of the local channels since I installed it. I have to say the only problem I had and it wasn't a big deal, we had a storm recently and only about 4 of the many available channels broke up a bit but when the rain passed they came right back. I'm glad I can watch Western channels that would show with my old antenna, and there's a handful of channels with nostalgic shows that I didn't know existed. I feel like this antenna is worth the price, if you're having reception problems.

Good Performance from USB powered Amplified Flat Panel Antenna

This is a review of the Sherriva SAF-6500, 65 mile flat panel antenna. I live in West Los Angeles and most TV stations are located on mountains 25 to 50 miles to the east. My reception quality has declined over the years due to construction of taller buildings. With this antenna I can receive 127 channels. So I am satisfied with its performance.

The 9 1/2" x 14" flat panel is 1mm thick plastic with an eggshell textured finish. The panel is somewhat stiff but has a little flex. A metal antenna is sandwiched between the layers of plastic. An amplifier is located in the boxy rectangular bulge at the bottom center of the panel. One side of the electronics box is covered with a light gray muslin fabric for appearance. In the center of the box is a power indicator LED. It has a very low power consumption of under 1 W.

The panel has a coax cable just over 16' long (3 meters). This coax then connects to a "Y" adaptor. The Y-adaptor has a 6" coax that connects to your TV or tuner and a 6' USB-A cord that connects to user supplied power (which might be on your TV). The Y-adaptor has a power indicator LED. The power LEDs are helpful.

Performance:

There is significant signal amplification. 24db VHF and 22db UHF (most digital channels are UHF) The UHF performance is quite superior to my old amplified antenna (rabbit ears and loop). This is moderately directional.

They provide foam mounting blocks with adhesive on both sides. However, your available flat surfaces may not orient the antenna in a suitable direction. I wedged the antenna panel onto my old "rabbit ears" antenna and used that to orient the flat panel in the optimal direction. Ideal would be the option to hold it up with a plastic clip stand.

This is a mid-priced antenna and the performance is worth the price.

Simple setup and good reception

I hung the antenna in my window using the included adhesive pad and connected to my FireRecast TV. The adhesive works but I would have preferred a window suction cup as the mount instead of adhesive. Installation was simple, just plug in the cable and scan for channels.

Very impressed with the amount of channels this was able to capture; I live in a mid-size city and was able to pickup 30 channels in my scan with good image quality and clarity.
