    It’s about what you would expect from an RCA product. Cheaply made, poor signal reception, and large footprint, especially with the twin antennas. Not a fan.

    This fancy antenna is not much of an improvement over the "rabbit ears" it replaced.

      Hello RhondaN - Performing a channel scan is a crucial step after setting up your antenna, and it’s sometimes missed even though it’s mentioned in the instruction manual and Quick Start Guide. Without performing a channel scan, your TV will not display a single channel. Remember to rescan every time you reposition or relocate the antenna to ensure your TV updates the available channels in the antennas new location. Proper antenna placement near a window facing the broadcast towers is also very important. Be sure to fully uncoil any extra antenna cable, as coiled cables can weaken the signal. Reception can be affected by factors like distance from towers, terrain, and obstacles such as trees, buildings, and your home’s construction materials. If you need any assistance with setup or troubleshooting, we’re here to help. Visit https://www.rcaantennas.net/ask-engineer for expert support.

      Hello LukeR - The most common reason an antenna seems not to work is that the TV hasn’t had a full channel scan performed—your TV won’t display any channels until that step is completed. Reception also depends on the broadcast signal strength inside your home, which can vary with distance to the towers and building materials. Placing the antenna high and near a window facing the towers usually improves results.

    Bought two antennas. One worked well for the new TV, not for older TV. Second box was never opened but I waited 21 days to return. Was told I could buy a membership that allows 60 day returns. I told the person no thank you, not sure I want to do business with Best Buy anymore.

    Big Disappointment

    I would like to give this product zero stars but that is not an option. I had high hope for this antenna. The second I took it out of the box though, I could see that the quality was poor. It was made of thin plastic with extendable rabbit ears on the back. Then we hooked it up to our tv. Scanned it multiple times both digital and analog and it picked up zero channels. Yes, we know how to set it up and scan, not operator error. Super disappointed and taking it back.

      Hello LeonardoS – The most common reason for no reception is a weak or obstructed over-the-air signal in your area or not performing a new channel scan after connecting your antenna. Make sure your antenna is placed as high as possible, ideally near a window facing the broadcast towers. Nearby buildings, trees, or distance from towers can also affect reception. You can check signal strength and tower direction for your exact location using the FCC map at https://www.fcc.gov/media/engineering/dtvmaps

    This antenna would not pick up the NBC and PBS channels 15 miles from our home. We live in a small town in Central Illinois. No tall buildings or hills. Returned the antenna to the store for a refund.
