Customer Ratings & Reviews

This antenna is very good for a lower dollar cost. I live in a town with several hills, trees outside my house and the source being on top of a mountain outside of town. Signal has been great with all those things in mind. I have noticed when temperature outside is in negative temps, the signal is a bit sketchy but that only happens a couple days a year. This antenna connect to my new smart tv's very easily and only took 5 minutes to install and start watching. Picture is amazing for an antenna on my 4k tv. Definitely recommended!

I was frustrated missing so many NFL games because of the DirecTV dispute with Tegna and finally decided to cave and buy an HD antenna to pick up my local NBC and ABC. I was concerned with mounting an large eyesore monstrosity to the wall or stuck on al window, and assumed the reception would be sketchy, at best. I also wasn’t thrilled with the thought of climbing on the roof or crawling through the attic to improve reception, so I decided would have to make an indoor antenna work. I knew I wanted an amplified antenna, and when i saw the photo of this RCA laying flat on the tv console table, This looked the the best solution for my needs. My first impression when i picked up the order was that it was much smaller than i had envisioned, and i was very happy to see that! Looking at the customer photos online, it can be hard to get a good perspective of the size, and i thought it would be more than double its actual size. This thing is only about 8”x9”, and can be very easy to conceal! Hookup was simple, and when i did the channel scan, it pulled in 33 channels. I was happy with this result because it provide the channels I wanted with the installion location that wasn’t intrusive, so i rolled with that configuration. When i tested the picture quality, i was amazed! It is flawless! See the photo i provided. This is local channel 25-3. You can see the antenna laying to the right of my sound bar. Its nearly invisible. I highly recommend this RCA antenna because it has exceptional quality at a good value. Looking forward to game day!

Compared with an earlier-generation 15dB amplified antenna, this RCA ANTB55EV has a lower output but gives cleaner signal. Clean signal is a positive. It boasts an omnidirectional design. This could be one reason why output is lower although I didn't test this claim. If you are looking for a TV antenna, know that there is no such a thing called HDTV antenna. It is just a TV antenna. All those 4K, 8K, ATSC3.0/NextGen labels are nonsense. It is just about signal/noise ratio, band shape, and to some extent directional reception. In these aspects, this is a descent amplified antenna.

I purchased and placed it above my tv which is located between to windows. Easy installation and option to hang on wall or atand up like a picture was reassuring. I was able to get the 4 major stations plus more. Price was very reasonable

Rca Antenna, Not bad purchased after cutting the cord on cable TV , Enjoy getting the local channels. it does act up when windy out , raining ..But if not it works perfect & I receive 60 Channels with this . I am happy with it.

So long live in the old building in Washington d c one Those prewar buildings. My room unfortunately doesn't get good signal but with this antenna. I hope to talk to my Samsung TV and bam. I get at least sixty channels now I had a different Antenna It kept going in an outs and I wasn't getting much. Channeling was always fuzzy so when I bought my new TV I decided to buy this new antenna and it worked well. It has a very long cord. So I could run the antenna from the t. V to the window without issue. I don't even have to put it in the window. I just choose to put it by the window. Also it stands upon its own black kind of blends in.

This antenna is easy to install and receives a lot of free programming. This is the second antenna I have installed and I like it very well. I recommend it for anyone looking for free programming.

Is constantly losing the picture. Have to regularly move the antenna to accommodate 2-3 channels.

Good build quality. I was hoping to get the advertised 60 mile reception, but can only get 17 stations. My friend 8 miles away gets 45 stations with same antenna! I live rural but high on a hill and can SEE my tv broadcast antenna! The Best Buy salesman said that the antennas are rated for line of sight un obstructed. Aiming toward Syracuse doesn't help. I still 17 stations. To be fair, my antenna for my bedroom gets the same number of stations and it too is amplified and rated for 60+ miles. My broadcast tv station's antenna is 10 miles from my home!! Dont believe the 60 mile reception claim, when I struggle to get 17 stations at 10 miles from the broadcaster! Thankfully, Roku has some of the PBS channels but local programming was my goal. These antennas do not meet any goals.

I am not a huge fan of this antenna because the reception can be VERY picky. My area normally has about 10 regular (non-HD) over-the-air channels. Living in a shared environment where my bedroom IS pretty much my apartment, space is limited. Although this antenna is mountable, for convenience, I placed it vertically with the built-in easel stand on top of my home theatre system but below my television. I've heard placing it near a window could help with reception. However, I don't feel I really have that option because my bedroom window isn't very close to my television.

This a great product. However, the cord needs to be much longer in order for better placement near a window.

Antenna works great on my living room t.v allowing great reception for a quality view

i bought this because AT&T was having a war with CBS san diego and i couldnt watch football on Sunday. I hooked it up and it receives over the air broadcasts just not CBS in El Cajon So, it works, but just a meh for me

I got frustrated with another yearly rate increase for cable so I got rid of 2 DTA boxes and decided to try a digital antenna for the non-essential kitchen TV. We kept cable on our main TV though. This RCA antenna worked fine after a few tries moving it higher, stretching the antenna cable and rescanning the TV after each move to pull in all available channels. We get about 40 of channels including 3 local, one that broadcasts in UHF which is usually harder to receive. We don’t need more channels than that for this TV location. Problem solved. We actually think the picture reception is better than it was with cable and the volume is much better. It was reasonably priced and available in store with a 15 day return policy.

Works good in our small rural area. We receive 20 channels are more.

I've used my fair share of antennas with smart TV's this one by far is the best. Didn't get the name of the sales rep who recommended but I absolutely love him for that! Minimal interruptions and easy setup

Awesome product and very easy to install. Once my Sony tv auto tuned and scanned for stations, it provided me with 68 HD channels. Definitely recommend this product as it works and does what it says. There is an app you can download to help you aim the antennae to maximize coverage but i just propped it up against the wall and was good to go.

Works good. Gets some channels, the bestbuy employee was helpful in me getting the right one

Was easy set up, just wish cord was just a bit longer!

This antenna works well for Netflix viewing. Nice clear picture.
