    Worked better than I expected.

    I had previously tried an antenna that looked like a tablet. I found the RCA antenna got better reception on some stations, and also got reception on some stations the other unit didn't find. Even though I have all of these local channels on my cable package, this antenna gives me peace of mind that I can get some news and entertainment even if my cable goes out. Some users might find the bunny-ear appearance of the antenna to be difficult to disguise. And it does need to be plugged in to AC power to work well.

    Antenna delivers but am considering the flat one..

    I may exchange this for the flat RCA antenna mostly due to the look of having these big rabbit ears in view. I've got both types in other rooms and am leaning now towards the exchange. It's a great product, I just don't want to see it anymore.... :( And for the flat one... I'd want a black one and not a white one...

    ok if no one is walking around your house...

    This product works great when there is nothing to shake the antennas, but I have children and they are constantly running around the house. When this happens, the signal cuts in and out. I would recommend this to those looking for HD locals in their area and do not have children, but those with children I would spend the few extra dollars and invest in something more stable.

    Decent antenna

    Absolutely no issues with this antenna (and I hook this up on my tv in the basement). HD looks great, reception is solid. Only issue is the price. I recently bought the other RCA antenna that's $11 and it works just as well. Still, at least it doesn't look like an eyesore and it is pretty decent.

    Gets you the basics

    I get CBS, Fox, WPHL (a local channel), and a couple of Spanish channels. I didn't really want much else out of this but if you are looking to get all not non-cable channels I would not reccommend. I have the antenna hooked up to a LED-LCD TV that is about 2 years old. For the channels that I am able to get the picture is crystal clear.

    Co-ax Cable is too short

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    To place the unit where I could get good reception I ended up balancing it on a book case. The built-in cable is not long enough and can not be replaced. I had to buy an extension cable and connector. In its' current location the reception is much better than I ever received before.

    Works Better Than Imagined

    I have mine connected to a digital tuner and also to my Marantz reciever for FM channels. The unit has rabbit ears but I do not need them. I have them tooked in behind the main unit. I had another type of antenna up and my wife made me bring it back because it looked so ugly and it was. This unit is plugged in and powered up. Connected to my digital tuner and receiver. I get all the channels plus some I did not know was even offered. I highly recomend this unit. I figure I live about 40 miles from the television towers. I also receive all of the radio stations with this unit and did not with one of the other ones that cost more.

    Good Antenna

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It's a good antenna. The thing bad about it is a short cable. Also, there's black paint on the antennas that rubs off when I handle them. Otherwise, it seems to help bring in far away channels pretty well.

    Somewhat Good Antenna

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this antenna after reading reviews that it was better than other indoor antennas. In my opinion it is only slightly better than others I have tried. I only received maybe one or to more channels with out much adjustment, compared to other antennas. My roof antenna on my main tv gets about 20 channels. With this antenna I only get 3-4 channels.

    Like with any rabbit ear antenna, always adjusting

    This antenna is out of the box, ready to go. It comes with an A/C power cord that is also a "booster" for signal, and I was told will change most channels to 1080p resolution. I have found that after days of moving small amounts at a time, to find the right place for the most number of channels, and keep all of the channels that were important to me, the best resolution found is 1080i. This really does take some time to keep changing areas in the room, and direction of the antenna. I did find the further away from a windown, or across the room from the window has been the best reception for me. I don't have any other electrical items near the antenna other than the television and a blueray player. I guess I would rate this just OK. I wish it was better, however it does the job that is intended.

    Good solution to problem!

    This was actually recommended to me by a friend as I didn't want to pay the cost of local cable service. I'm home very little and watch very little TV so couldn't justify the cost. This little antenna works perfectly enabling me to enjoy the basic channels.! Am very pleased.

    Works better than the one it replaced. It's somewhat bulky, which makes it a bit difficult to place on a window sill.

    Considering the BB assistant in the store tried to talk me out of it when I told him where I lived I'm so glad I ignored him and gave it a go. Brilliant antenna. I live about 60 miles the wrong side of the state of CT according to him. Took it home, plugged it in and got 23 channels. Granted about 8 don't come in all the time and some are repeats but I get Fox in better HD than I did with my cable company. So glad I cancelled cable. This is very sufficient. I live in quite a remote area and out in the woods and this sits in my living room on top of a speaker. If you are unsure...give it a go. You can always take it back.

    The antenna works well most of the time. Sometimes I have to move it around until I find a place where the reception is better, however it works well enough as an alternative to paying for cacle.

    all of my local channels look better on this antenna then they did on the $70 terk i bought. i went into the store dissapointed because i bought the terk and it didnt do anything more than regular rabbit ears but the sales person told me to get this one and i thought he was nuts at first but he was right i guess this one has the highest amplification and thats why its the best so try this one out if your dissapointed in what you have now the hd looks better than my time warner cable box does

    I get more than 100 channels, but when a plane passes over the picture gets lost. Also when I want to watch more channels I have to move it around, but if I move I may loss some channels.

    This device works exactly as described. There was no assembly required. Simply unpackage, plug into the wall and attach to the TV cable input/output connections. Once turned on, the antenna actively works to increase reception and the digital reception is superb.
