I have bought 2 of these, one for me and one for my dad.
I live in Gonzales and he lives in Maurepas (Livingston Parish)
I pick up 24 local Baton Rouge Channels.
My dad picks up 30 Local Channels, some from Baton Rouge, Some from New Orleans, since he lives halfway between the 2.
It comes with the Antenna and Signal Amplifier.
It does not come with pole, so you would have to supply your own.
I highly recommend it, especially for the price. I have had mine for 2 years now and its held up. Its not heavy duty, mostly plastic, but works great.

Edit: I have both installed up pretty high, 20 - 30 foot up, so just putting it outside your window or below your house level, you may not get a very good signal.

i have 2 of these, one in the attic connected to one tv, i mounted another on a tripod atop roof which has it 5 ft above the roof - i get the same channels on both though the one on the roof will occasionally pickup a few more stations on some days if i re-scan - the "quality" of the stations content wise of those stations doesnt make it worth the extra scan

i had one go out (wouldn't turn and the "boost" didn't work the LED on the antenna wouldn't light")

i do have a 2 story apt complex between my house and the direction of the sources im aiming

i have a friend a few miles away, he does not have any obstruction, his is about 12 feet above the roof line - he picks up , depending on conditions, New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette and occasionally Houston

the one thing we have questioned about the design of these thinks it the face all metal components attach to plastic frame and would seem to not have any affect on the operation

but overall works great especially for the price -
