Excellent antenna reception

I'm really impressed with the reception quality. The picture quality is just as good as with cable. I have never managed to get a good picture with an antenna, but with this antenna I get a great picture and can also receive stations that I have not received before.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Frequency

This OTA antenna is available for purchase

ANT525 is the perfect OTA antenna for me. I tried 3 other amplified antennas including the highly acclaimed Terk HDTVa before purchasing this one and the ANT525 worked the best. I placed each antenna in the same spot and the ANT525 increased my signal strength by 10-15 points compared to other antennas. ANT525 is very durable and stable. I only use the antenna for UHF so I removed the VHF dipoles which really improved the look of the antenna. I recommend ANT525. I wish I could start with this…

  • Always liked

Excellent value for money

It is difficult to write an objective review of an HDTV antenna as reception depends on your location. However, I live in a house on the outskirts of town and can receive all local stations (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, PBS) with this antenna. It even picks up a weak signal from a FOX office over 50 miles away! I also tried Terk HDTV's HDTV indoor antenna with HDTV Boost for off-air HDTV reception, but found it didn't work as well as RCA. It also took up more space, wasn't as stable (it tended to…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Quality

Defective product and terrible return policy for defective device

I bought this item to use with the digitizer box, it worked fine for the first day or two. Because I haven't used this TV for quite some time. I was a little unhappy to find that the power supply was shorted out or at least not working and the reception was terrible. I went online to Revain to return it and found the return window was closed. (Slam) I think since it is defective the return window is 30-90 days as is the case with most defective electronic devices. Needless to say, my days with…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Functionality

Worked very well for 10 months

I agree with most of the comments in the 4 star reviews. I bought this antenna for my new bedroom HDTV. It replaced the Phillips antenna that was just junk! Constant adjustment was required and during the adjustment one of the blades broke (very weak). RCA needs to be retuned from time to time, but not as often, but more importantly, it packs TWICE as many channels as Phillips - all the channels I need except one. INITIAL REVIEW UPDATE: I've been using this antenna for 10 years now. months and…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Hard to say

Got all the channels I need

I recently bought a new HDTV and with a $60/month cable TV subscription only for the basic 'extended' option without the box I see wanted, can I get enough channels in the air to satisfy me. I live halfway between Milwaukee and Chicago. I tried this indoor amplified RCA antenna and got over 40 channels from the combined Milwaukee/Chicago area. With the exception of CBS, which I only get from Milwaukee, I can get all major stations and most local stations from both regions. I was most concerned…

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • I'll text back

! THIS IS ONE!

I had a $12 RCA ANT200B antenna that served me well in the analog days. I was blown away by the reception from a friend and bought one just like that. Last October I finally bought a Sony Bravia W Series HDTV and decided it was time to find the right signal source. So, after countless years without him, I signed up for Satellite. It was great BUT EXPENSIVE. Coincidentally, my kids bought me a Roku box Roku digital video player for Christmas along with a pre-paid annual Netflix subscription…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Can I add something?
