2.0 out of 5 stars Stylish but Weak, March 30, 2006
By jazmaan (Santa Monica, CA United States) - See all my reviews
  
I was able to compare this amplified antenna directly with the Zenith UN-amplifiend indoor HDTV antenna. The Zenith was at least 25% to 50% better at pulling in the weaker stations.

This RCA antenna LOOKS very nice with its wavy styling. But then you have to pull out its rabbit ears and set them askew to pick up a decent signal! That kills the styling advantage. And its soooo touchy about its positioning to pick up weaker stations, you practically have to do a voodoo dance and wave a plucked chicken around the TV to get some stations that the Zenith pulls in with barely any trouble.

So don't let your wife talk you into getting the RCA for its looks. Buy the Zenith instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gets all the important channels at an excellent quality., August 17, 2007
I live in Palo Alto, CA, ~30 miles from the stations. With this antenna I receive all the important channels: FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc... in 1080i without any dropouts, the quality is amazing! I keep the rabbit ears tucked in because I'm not interested in the VHF stations, so the styling looks very modern. All in all I get ~45 digital stations and 15 analog. I can get more if I mess with position, but it's perfect as it is now.

This is my first antenna, I cannot compare it to any other, but I'm very satisfied.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy Something Else, January 5, 2009
By Slekcin "CathyCHES" (Carmel, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This really is a worthless antenna. While it is a sleek looking device, it is poorly constructed. The antenna sits on two prongs/feet that are not fixed to the device. Everytime you adjust or move the antenna, the prongs fall out. It is top heavy and when you extend the rabbit ears in certain ways, the antenna won't stand up on it's own. The reception is not that great; in order to get good reception on some channels, you have to wiggle and move about to get quality. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the cat I was "babysitting" had chewed the antenna cord apart, and I NEVER noticed the difference. I don't think the antenna was even working hardly at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars antenna breaks
I don't have many good things to say about this product. It looks cool, and it pulls in stations better than a non-amplified antenna.

I tried several different antennas in my apartment and this one worked the best. It even beat out the highly touted Terk antenna (the one that looks like a saw blade). Read more
