Customer Ratings & Reviews

I always recommend keeping a tv antenna around. You never know when the weather or another event could knock out tv, internet and everything else. This RCA antenna is amplified which is needed in most locations. This antenna also has what they call "SMARTBOOST" so it wont interfere with cell phone signals (up to 5G). Please note this does need a power supply to amplifiy your antenna. The power supply is not needed but you may not pick up as many channels depending on your location. I have a very large power bank that can handle powering my tv and amplified tv antenna during times of need. The antenna also recommends an RCA app which I have used prior. It helps you identify which local channels you should be able to pick up based on your location. Easy to use and helps take the guessing work out of which way to point your antenna. I highly recommend RCA TV antennas and specifically this model. I gave it 5 stars as it is compact but still able to pick up a 45 mile range. I was able to pick up tons of channels depending on the location of the antenna.

We all know over the air digital antenna's come in many options on the market, but this RCA amplified antenna is definitely the one that has done the best job out of any amplified antenna I have ever used. It is sleek and stylish with a black antenna panel that is slim and does not take up a lot of room. Every situation is different, but my RCA antenna was able to pick up around 15 HD channels through heavy tree line and being in the middle of the room. It also includes two retractable antennas (Rabbit Ears) for strong signal pick up if you are not able to be plugged in to a power outlet or want to take your antenna easily on the go. It only comes with about a 4ft coax cable which may make it a little tricky to connect to some tv's, so you may need to buy longer coax cable. Overall this antenna is great for what it does and is well worth the buy.

It is working really well. Occasionally we have interference, depending on which channel in particular ABC. However overall it beats the cable price we were paying and we had the same issue.

Picks up the following channels ok: 2.1, 2.2.2.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.5, 9.1, 9.4, 9.5, 11.1, 11.4, 13.1. 13.2, 54.1, 58.3 during the day, but has trouble supplying all of the above at night, when they are most desired. It has big trouble supplying channel 7 at any time. To a friend, we would suggest they continue to shop around and come back the this one if they can't find a satisfactory unit.

This antenna produced much better results than I expected. I live in a mobile home in Cheyenne, WY and near-window placement was impossible. Nonetheless, I am able to receive all major networks + some oddball stuff. Hint. The finder app that is offered as a download to tablet or phone is useless. If I had believed the results from that, I would have returned the phone. But I tried the antenna anyway and wala- excellent results.

The RCA amplified indoor HDTV antenna combined with the RCA signal finder app is a great resource in today's world. When testing, I considered why we would need an HDTV antenna in today's world. My first thought was for a gentleman like my father-in-law who is older and refuses to spend money on cable. Whereas, he currently has a HDTV antenna he would love the app. He does have a smart phone of all things and the app is simple enough for him to use successfully as a way to know right where to point the antenna to get the best picture for the programming he is currently watching. Next, I considered myself and why I actually wanted this unit. We stream most things and we do not have cable boxes on every TV in the house. In my office for instance, I have a smart TV, but I do not have a cable box since we primarily us it for streaming movies and playing games. I like any one though, do really enjoy having the news on in the background while working and this device allows me to access local news without cable and without having to run a cable through my wall to an outside antenna. The unit is super light but feels well-made and it has a pretty blue light. It also comes with a coaxial cable but is it only about 4 feet in length. I ran the cable search on my TV prior to connecting the antenna and my TV was only able to find 1 channel. After connect the antenna, I now have 33 channels that will come perfectly depending on which Tower I point the antenna towards. I would very much recommend this device and or the RCA single finder app.

I actually had an older antenna from RCA, and this one is so much better. Higher quality, and better reception. I live in the counry, and getting over the air stations is usually hit or miss. With this antenna, that has changed. Just in time for the Super Bowl!

This RCA amplified antenna features UHD capability however in my location, we get very few broadcast signals in general. This would be a great tool to have in areas where several broadcast signals can be received from multiple towers. It also has an app which you can find the signal locations and move the antenna to face that direction. Overall, it works just as well or better than a non amplified antenna but it will only do better in areas which signals are broadcast within a farther but obtainable distance such as the 45 mile range this antenna claims.

I have been a "cord-cutter" for longer than there was an actual term for it. I've tried several different kind of OTA antenna - ranging from flat ones to far more expensive and larger outside ones. This one is exceptional for the money. I followed the instructions and used the app recommended for its placement and replaced an existing large antenna with this one and the results were simply amazing. The large one was sometimes losing channels on bad weather days; this one did just as well as the large on even when it was inside. To make the comparison fair, I left all the channels that were pulled in with the large one (in my area that was over 40 different channels) and the smaller and less expensive one pulled all but four channels (those four were from a more remote location but were shopping channels that I already could receive - redundant). The clarity of the picture was superb and better than the larger antenna. For the money you'd be hard pressed finding something that is this good.

I set this up indoors and it did not receive weaker channels. The movement of the rabbit ears did not have much effect. If you are in an area where TV signals are very strong, you could use this antenna to enjoy clear TV pictures for over the air channels. However if you are in a fringe area, this antenna will disappoint you. I would advise paying more for a better antenna.

This antennae could not be easier to install or provide better reception - and saves a fortune over services such as Hulu live or cable. I love it.

This is a great antenna for pulling in over the air stations. I have stopped using cable and other streaming services and rely on the old fashioned way to watch my programming. The RCA app is a great tool to help you set your antenna in the best position. Additionally, this antenna is quite directional so the app helps you to adjust its position if you need to when switching channels too. I had an older non amplified antenna that didn't cut it for one of my stations that was further away. Once plugged in, this unit was easy to set up and I now can see all the programming available in this area. Be sure to read the specifications to make sure this unit is right for you. If so, you will have good sharp image and sound.

This item was returned only because I didn't need it.
