Review on GE 24746 Futura Ready Antenna by David Bartan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Waste of money on audio and video accessories

I bought this antenna from a local store because I had two TVs that weren't connected to cable, just a pair of bunny ears. I wasted my money. The old rabbit ears that came with my 20 year old TV are superior to this thing in terms of reception and I can't pick up a single digital channel on a GE antenna but I can get 10-15 with rabbit ears. When I use the signal strength meter on my DTV set top box, I actually see that the signal strength is DECLINE when I plug in the antenna power supply. Just buy something else and save your money. Also, the F connector on the back is not very reliable, I tried several different cables before finally realizing that the antenna was the problem. Only the screw on the cable works with it, the pressure screws do not grip.

Pros
  • Alright!
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
