A good antenna for use when your cable goes out. We get a good signal for a number of local stations (approximately 30 miles away), the picture is very sharp. Very easy to set up and use. Not sure this would replace cable as our primary reception source, but is excellent as a backup.

Who needs Cable TV? This thing is amazing! One of the few reasons we get cable is to get the local channels and a handful of cable channels we watch. With this antenna we got over 60 channels, clear picture, and the local channels were all there as well as channels I did not expect to have access to. It pays for itself in the first week!

I replaced a non-amplified antenna with this RCA Amplified HDTV Antenna.
For starters, there is a huge difference between no antenna and any HDTV antenna. However, I found no significant difference in my reception. It may be due to the fact that I live within 30 miles of the major broadcast antennas, or maybe because I do not have a window in which to place the antenna (as recommended by RCA).
The original non-amplified antenna found almost the same number of televisions stations during the scanning process. The quality of the image was similar with both amplified and non-amplified. If anything, the amplified antenna amplified some of the artefacts in the image.
The app correctly found the broadcast antennas but I was limited in my ability to direct the amplified antenna in the direction of those antennas because of my layout. I also wanted the antenna to be out of the way.
I think an amplified antenna is a good idea of you live far away from the large antennas which broadcast the signals. Otherwise, I do not think they are worth the extra money over a non-amplified antenna.
