The item was easy to put together. When I opened the box it looked a bit daunting but was actually quite easy. It was hard working out how to put the plugs on the end of the cord and so instructions for that. I looked on Youtube and found a video showing how to connect the F plug and got it working straight away. Once I finally got it together it did the job and I now have all channels. Tried various expensive indoor antennae which did not work.
