RCA Flat Antenna on Audio Video Accessory

I bought this antenna based on other people's reviews. Now I can receive a signal from all transmitters in my area (17 channels). For best results, try the antenna in multiple places and rescan each time you move it until you get the maximum number of channels. I am very happy with it. We live in the country but 4 towers are within 25 miles. I am planning to buy the same antenna for another TV.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some minor issues

It just works! in Audio & Video Accessories

I bought this RCA antenna without thinking that it could be very good for such a small price and weird form factor, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's thin and light, with a single coaxial cable that you connect to your digital TV and you're done in minutes. A quick rescan for new channels and I found 15 more channels and the reception was excellent. I highly recommend this antenna.

Pros
  • Sleek Design
Cons
  • Something Different

Works well in certain situations

The device is easy to place around a flat screen due to its relatively small footprint. At first I thought this antenna was another waste of money as when hooked up to a flat screen TV it wouldn't pick up any local digital channels at all (worse than cheap bunny ears); HOWEVER, connected to another flat screen TV in another room of the house, it tuned in to stations that no other antenna I've tried could consistently pick up.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Doubtful

Flat antenna - great!

Before I could connect an antenna to my home TV; My son borrowed it for his workplace - a restaurant. We are LSU Tiger fans. The restaurant installed a TV so guests could watch the game while they ate. It was a Saturday, the cable men were away for several days, so we hooked up a flat antenna. Poof TV went from snow to crystal clear! It took a minute to connect. It's out of sight. It was a great purchase.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Disappear

Please, but would you prefer a better version of this antenna?

We only get 5-6 channels, but that's enough at the same time. Of the channels we receive, three are from Public Television Southern Oregon: 1, 2, and 3. Most of what we watched when paying for DirecTV (which has over 100 channels) was the only local PBS channel . Now we get more of what we love! We got it on sale so we were happy. We doubt this most frugal version is the best. I would pay for one of the next two - if I need to buy another one. Or an antenna on the roof (?)

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Socket required

Not bad for the money, but not good enough

I live in Glendale, California and there's a big mountain between me and the transmitters at Mount Wilson. I bought this cheap omnidirectional antenna because I wasn't sure if an indoor antenna would work for me. This business has been able to tap into most of the major channels in our local market, but is very location and orientation sensitive. I was hoping omnidirectional would be more forgiving, but I suspect the problem is multipath from mountains, trees, etc. The problem is that a…

Pros
  • Great value
Cons
  • Not the best

Simple and solid construction but decent reception

I brought this spare antenna after giving the Terk antenna to my mother. Being a passive (no power supply) antenna, I wasn't expecting it to pick up almost 40 channels (New York, over 5 miles from cell tower, top floor of 6 story building) like Turk. But I didn't expect it to only draw about 1/2 of that. To make matters worse, he doesn't even attract the CW network. Glad I don't watch anything on this channel. Although I like the design. It is flat, very stable and can be hung on the wall (with

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Slightly torn

A good antenna that doesn't look like an antenna!

When it comes to style, you couldn't ask for more. He's flat. It fits into any room as it is very thin. One can only wish for a variety of colors, but this one can rattle slightly. There is nothing to hurt! How it works: If you have a signal to pick up, it will be picked up. Digital signals are either there to be received or not. An outdoor rotor antenna will outperform this unit, but if like me you live in an apartment and don't have the option to install a quality outdoor antenna, then this…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Features
Cons
  • Some Flaws

Performance is at least bunny ears, but looks MUCH better

This little antenna doesn't work wonders, but it will at least match, if not surpass, bunny ears for HDTV reception. I installed mine a few days ago - on my main LCD with a digital tuner (use over-the-air as a backup for cable - there are also 1 or 2 local broadcast channels that Comcast doesn't broadcast). I've taken the advice of several previous reviewers and tested several antenna locations/configurations to get the best reception. It is curious that the best place on the wall turned out to
