Add Your Review
Lately we have been dealing with an increasing number of attempts to manipulate antennas ranking. Note: each person is allowed to post one and only one review for each antenna model. Exceptions can be made only under special circumstances when the reviewer feels that his earlier review must be corrected.
We have a sophisticated manipulation detection system in place and we will not tolerate any attempt to game the system and mislead consumers and our visitors. We reserve the right to delete any review that we feel is misleading or inappropriate and do that at our sole discretion. Thanks for understanding.
Also, from now on we require all reviews to be at least 100 words long. Short reviews, such as "a piece of junk" or "works as advertised" are not very helpful. Consider specifying more details. Elaborate on your location, the equipment you are using, reception quality of specific channels in your area. Check the word counter at the bottom when writing.

| Summary: Gets Two Digital Channels and they break up. |
| This antenna gets two digital channels from my location and those break up. Spend the extra money and get a outside tv antenna. Thats what im going to do. Will be worth it to spend the extra money on a outside antenna rather than have something that doesnt work properly.There are roughly 20 to 40 channels an outside antenna will pick up in my area. This picks up two NBC channels. Waste of my money. Mainly wanted this to see MEtv. No such luck will not even pick it up. So once again go with an outside antenna.You will not regret it. |

| Summary: Worked ok while they lasted. |
| I bought two of these antennas about three months apart. Digital channel reception was adequate. I didnt expect miracles since Im surrounded by brick buildings. All I had to do was adjust the angle and gain setting for best possible reception. The amplification adjustment did help with certain channels. Then, after about a year and a half of use, the amplification feature on the first antenna went dead. I replaced the AC adapter but no luck. Turns out it only carries a 12 month warranty. Later that same week, the amplified gain on the second antenna died too. Go figure! |

| Summary: truly a mixed bag |
| I have two of these antennas and I wish I were able to give a rating for each, because I would give one five stars (maybe even six) and the other one would get four (maybe only three), thus I'm averaging them to a four.
The five-star antenna pulls in every digital station within about a 30-mile radius without even turning up the gain control all the way. The four-star antenna pulls in all but two, which is a net loss of five feeds. I'm tempted to take the lesser one back and get another in hopes that it will duplicate the performance of the other.
Seems like RCA would have better quality control than that. |

| Summary: great directional antenna for small investment |
| I have two of these antennae - on either end of my house. I learned that one worked great and the other ... worked great, but not where the other TV was located. that's when I learned that I needed to do some research to have an antenna that worked for my other TV. It would not be quick or easy. The great antenna is located on the side of the house where all the TV stations are located. I get anywhere from 70 to 95 stregth of signal on each of the stations. I'll have to pull coaxial cable through my attic and mount an external antenna to get a solid signal for the other TV. But, this is a great antenna if it is near the outside wall of the house facing the channels you with to lock in. |

| Summary: Another piece of junk |
| RCA has been hoodwinking us time and a gain since the fifties with the "new, high gain, boosted" antennas. This thing is worthless. After 5 months it seems that the power supply failed and now I get nothing in HD and might as well be nothing regular over the air.
