RCA ANT702Z Digital Amplified Indoor/Outdoor Antenna,black

I have tried a few different antennas and they all worked sporadically good at times/awful at time ... my old one broke from falling and I read about this one and it's worked better than I hoped!I live in kinda a tough area in Seattle, tons of trees and yet I am getting HD for all the football games and that's all I care about haha.Make sure you hit the BOOST ON button on the little box you attach to cable on TV ... I wasn't getting any signal until I did, then VOILA!--close to perfection, I get over 30 channels, including DECADE CHANNEL, which Comcast et al don't even offer and they have some great stuff!For the price, for me, I couldn't ask for more.... Only a few times has the signal gone ghost then I go outside and move it and it's worked from there every time over the last 4 months.The thing about these free TV antennas is that they are so subjective, it's a good system, I have tried a few and this one is by far the best, hence the 5* ... other people will have different feedback due to their location and signal strength,

if anyone is not satisfied with this antenna, then they are expecting the impossible. Of course not everyone will pick up thousand of channels while mounting this in a basement! But if your expectations are reasonable and you know what to expect for your location, then you'll be pleasantly surprised what this little plastic looking toy can doI live in Brooklyn, so my distance needed is not that much. Most channels are coming from within 30-35 miles. But still I'm comparing it to other antennas I had in the exact location as this one, and some channels were tricky, they came in good sometimes, bad at others. And no signal at all for them sometimes. So I kept adjusting their position a little to the right or left. No big deal cause my important channels would come in strong for the most part, but I'm a perfectionist, if the channel is there, I want it to work well (even if I probably will never really watch it). But with this antenna, the first time I mounted it, did a new channel search. I now got all those iffy channels strong as ever, not a flicker on them, crystal clear. And even picked up a couple more channels that never even registered at all with the others. Again, it's channels I'll probably never watch. But still, the antennas don't know that. So this one picking those up is a job awesomely preformed! I haven't had to adjust this antenna ones, all the channels are strong and clear. I couldn't be happier with this thing.I strongly recommend you try this antenna if your within it's range, and even is this model doesn't work for you, look for another RCA model then. RCA antennas outperform the rest in my experience

I tried several different indoor and temporary (low) outdoor locations for this antenna (behind a glass block window, outside at eye level height) . In the attic crawl space of my one floor home, it generally got signal strengths equal to the outdoor antenna (old style combination vhf/uhf) I have on my roof. However, I did not see in the description that it does not receive low vhf stations. In my market that means the Fox affiliate which broadcasts on frequency 8 was missing. Sadly I have to return it and look for something else. Too bad, because it was very easy to set up and move around. The included cable is very small, I needed a longer cable, so I was using a cat 6 coax. I don't know if the smaller included cable would cause a signal loss. All my desired station transmitters are within a few degrees of each other and approximately 30 miles away. If all your stations are in the uhf/high vhf frequencies, I would recommend this antenna.

I live in East TN about 30-40 miles from the Knoxville stations and this antenna is GREAT. I mounted it to my satellite dish (using the included hardware) and used the cables already there for the satellite and I get 20+ very clear channels. I was surprised by not only how many channels I get but many are in HD. This is a good antenna at an affordable price. Some channels will go out in bad weather (but that happened with the satellite too). If you are thinking about canceling cable or satellite, give this a chance. I chose this antenna not only based on reviews and price but because it appeared I might be able to use the included mounting hardware to mount this directly to my old Satellite dish- and it worked so easily! Attach the right cable from your satellite and it's really that easy. Be sure to install the amplifier near the TV. If you want to split the signal to multiple TVs, you can do that (after the amplifier) OR you could theoretically mount another antenna to your dish and use the cable for the second (or third) TV that was hooked up to satellite and you wouldn't have to split or run more cables inside! This sure beats paying the monthly satellite bill!
