Customer Ratings & Reviews

Hello Albert - The signal strength at your location is one of the major factors on whether an antenna can receive a signal. As it mentioned, there are some locations where it is difficult to secure a watchable signal. Some other factors include things like the surrounding terrain, whether or not you have a line-of-sight to the broadcast towers and even materials used in construction of your dwelling have an impact on the signal indoors. If you can place your antenna high up, near a window, facing the direction of your local broadcast towers you may have better luck getting a signal. Always remember to rescan for channels through your TV menu settings any time you move your antenna.

Hello Robert - Hopefully you performed a new channel scan through your TV's menu settings after connecting the new RCA antenna. If you did not rescan for channels after connecting the new antenna, any new and expected changes in channels/reception would not be accurate and would likely be much worse as you describe. Keep in mind that you have to also perform a new channel scan each and every time the antenna is physically moved or adjusted.

Hello Lord - Sorry to read that you were only able to get a handful of channels at your specific location. Hopefully you performed a channel scan using your TV’s menu system. This is the most important and most often over-looked step after connecting the RCA antenna to the TV. Unfortunately each TV manufacturer has a different process on how to get to the channel scan function within its menu settings, so you will have to look at your TV owners manual for those specific steps. Your TV tuner decodes the signals received by the antenna and your TV controls the changing of the channels, not the antenna. You can place the antenna near (or in) a window facing the broadcast tower general direction the better your chances are of receiving a signal. It also helps when you completely uncoil the antennas cable before running the channel scan. The RCA Signal Finder App merely shows where your local broadcast TV towers are located. If you can send us a quick email to RCAAntennaHelp@voxxintl.com with your zip code we can take a look to see what other specific information we may be able to provide to help you get watching Free HDTV.

Hello Lourdes - The biggest factors in whether an antenna can receive a signal relates to your distance from the broadcast towers and the signal strength at the your specific location.
