||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn’t work good, we had to exchange it for a better one. Do not recommend if you want to get lots of channels better look for a 75 Nike range

Posted .Hello Cindy - Sorry to read that the antenna did not work for you when you tried it at your specific location. Hopefully we can offer a couple tips ion this reply that may help get you watching Free HDTV. First of all, we want to make sure that 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. Also, make sure your TV input is set to "Antenna" or "Air" or something similar. Also, if 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. If all of that does not work, I would check your TV to ensure that it does indeed have an ATSC tuner which is needed to receive today’s digital broadcast signals. Most TV's built around 2007 have this type of tuner. An easy way to find out is by finding your TV model number and doing a Quick Google Search for your TV model number. The type of tuner should be an “ATSC” (not an NTSC) as mentioned above. If it does not, you will need to purchase a digital converter box. 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.

Posted .Please download the RCA signal finder app . This will allow you to see where the broadcast towers are in your town . For best performance the antenna should be facing the direction of the desired broadcast tower .

Nice small form factor amplified HDTV antenna
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This RCA indoor flat HDTV antenna is a nice little unit. Smaller and thinner than most flat antennas out there but still boasts a 50+ mile range. That said its build quality though plastic seems solid and unlike other models out there, has its own folding stand rather than an attachment. So overall the aesthetics of this model is very appealing. One thing to note that it boasts of an app to select the best position for pointing the antenna. For me this is rather moot as the antenna itself is omni-directional. Nonetheless, it’s nice to know where most of the TV stations’ broadcasts are coming from. One thing to note is that this model is a powered antenna. But the beauty of this is that the amplifier is a separate unit rather than permanently connected to the antenna itself. By having the amplifier, a signal boost results in less pixelation in HD channels. That said, broadcast quality primarily depends on your location and distance from broadcast towers. In my case I’m getting good reception. And since I have an HD Homerun unit so that I can watch anywhere in my home, there is no need (at least in my case) for the amplifier as the HD Homerun already amplifies the signal. Needless to say, for those who don’t have an OTA casting device, the amplifier is a welcome addition. Like most HDTV antennas, this features 4G/LTE protection and support for 4K TVs. These may be just marketing selling points as I HDTVantennas have been around for ten years. There is not much not to like in this aerial antenna. And if you’re a cord cutter, you’d still need local news and weather shows plus live events such as sports and the Oscars which streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon provide. Of course your streaming device may provide news bits, they are not live nor local. And since the price point to features ratio of this model is very good, I’d highly recommend this to anyone who is in the market for a new antenna.
I would recommend this to a friend Not strong enough, only has a 55 mike range.

Posted .Hello Pauline - Sorry to read that the antenna did not work as expected at your specific location. Keep in mind, there are several other factors that can affect your ability to receive the broadcast signal at your specific location. The biggest factors in whether any antenna can receive a signal relates to the broadcasters power & the signal strength at your specific location inside your home, the surrounding terrain, whether or not there you have a direct line of sight to the broadcast towers, meteorological conditions, large nearby structures and even the construction materials used in your dwelling.
