I bought this antenna for its aesthetics. I found the shape of it very convenient and, well, beautiful. Since machines so often don't work well and take up more and more of our time as we serve their needs, why not at least have something that looks good? I was able to follow its instructions without frustration, and it did its job scanning and memorizing channels without hurting me. Will it please everyone? I doubt it, but I do live in an area with problem reception and have no complaints in that regard. I honestly can't think of anything negative to say about this particular plastic and silicon divinity.
I live in SF near Sutro Tower and am able to pick up all the locally broadcast stations (the tower is about a mile from my house) in my somewhat obstructed apartment. I cannot, however, get NBC which is broadcast 40 miles to the south in San Jose. Still, I like this antenna because it hangs on my wall behind the TV and you really don't see it. When I want to watch NBC (go Chargers!) I pull out my Terk HDTVa antenna which has better reception but is quite big, especially with the "ears" up. Anyway, if your transmitting tower is not to far and you're going for a muted look I would recommend the RCA 1500.
I just purchased this antenna along with a 15" HDTV Toshiba 15LV506 15.6-Inch Widescreen LCD TV with Built in DVD, White. I purchased the antenna because TVs you buy today do not come with antennas. If you are planning to use the airwaves, you must have an antenna. This antenna promised to bring in a maximum number of analog and digital stations and look unobtrusive. I am not disappointed. Basically a white plastic slab, I was able to place it under my new set on a 20th floor window ledge in my kitchen. Instructions say it works best on it's side and the small tv fit perfectly on top. The antenna came with it's own cable, which is greatly appreciated and did not require an electrical connection. The cable easily hooked up to the tv. Once programmed, my TV brings in 3 analog and 47 digital stations. Everything is sharp and clear. Update 1-05-10: Although it works perfectly in my 20th floor apartment, this antenna did not work adequately in a small basement kitchen in NYC that had metal wall cabinets. Placing the antenna near the window helped somewhat but not enough to provide a quasi decent viewing experience.
I bought the antenna due to it's unconventional clean look, but I didn't expected much, since I didn't know if it really works. When I first tried it, it was a disappointment since I didn't get that many channels. But I read on another review that I had to rescan the channels. When I did that, I surprisingly got a lot more channels than the bunny ear antenna. So all in all, it works pretty good and better than the ugly bunny ears. One important thing to note is that the position on the wall is very important for reception AND also the wire connecting to the TV does affect reception in a major way.
This antenna works as advertised FOR UHF CHANNELS. This antenna DOES NOT work as advertised FOR VHF CHANNELS. Since I need both - I consider the money spent on it to have been wasted. I suppose antenna size is like automobile engine size: "There is no replacement for displacement".
When I saw this I was excited that it looked nicer than the wire antennas I had anticipated. After setting this up at home my tv found a whopping 4 channels. My brother who lives close to me gets more than that with rabbit ears that probably didn't cost him a dime, and this lovely thing cost me nearly $40. I will be returning this immediately and doing better research before purchasing a replacement. On a positive note, I guess the picture quality is what should be expected with digital tv, although I did witness pixels now and then.
This is a good indoor antenna. but cable included is just 6 feet long. I bought Philips SDV2940 later. but I found better channel results with ANT1500 than Philips SDV2940. I live in an apartment on first floor from 22 mile from NYC. One advantage SDV2940 has it can be installed outdoor as it has 20 feet cable. Still if you live one 2nd floor I would recommend ANT1500. Also check with [...] what you can get.
I bought this antenna because I had bought the smaller RCA ANT1400 and believed this one would work better. The 1400 was rated by RCA as having Great-to-Excellent reception, while the 1500 is rated as having Superior-to-Ultimate reception, so it would seem worth it (especially when it's on sale). The 1500 is bigger and includes a small metal bracket you can use to tilt the antenna at an angle for better reception. At 1st I wasn't too impressed. One would think from reading the packaging, you just sit down the antenna and it will work. You have to really tweak it's position. In one position you'll pick up some channels and lose others and vice versa. I ended up buying a coax coupler and a 4 foot coax cable to attach to the existing cable coming out of the antenna, so I could extend the antenna to a window in my apartment. What an amazing result! I have not had to tweak with my antenna once since I've done that and I'm picking up 25+ channels. I live on the 2nd floor in a garden style apartment and there are not too many high structures around me and I live in close range to most of the TV stations. As a side note, the reception over the smaller 1400 was not that much improved for me. I picked up the same stations with the 1400 that I pick up with the 1500.
I had previously been using a Philips PHDTV1 Silver Sensor UHF/HDTV Digital Indoor TV Antenna for my OTA HD channels. It worked reasonably well, but it required position adjustments to receive certain channels. Plus, this summer, the tree in front of the window where it sits started blocking its reception making some channels not come in at all. I live approx. 15 miles from all the stations in town, most of them in either one general direction, or 180 degrees from that group. When I lived in a 3rd floor apartment, I could also get a bunch of PBS channels that have never come in when I moved to my current house. Also, the majority of the channels here are VHF and only a couple UHF. When I plugged in the RCA antenna, immediately all of my regular channels came in. Including the recently lost channel and all the PBS channels. A couple channels were a little low in strength, but some minor position adjustments gave me all channels with great signal strength. With the bonus that now I have a nice, usable horizontal surface, instead of a space hogging dust collector. I could probably adjust it a bit better, since it sometimes gets a little signal loss. But, it does not affect the show that is on. I am much, much happier with this antenna than my Philips.
In use about 2 months. Placed antenna flat in a window using clear packing tape. Perfect, got every channel available. First placed next to the TV inside the room and got most channels, but when placed flat on the window, everything comes in without any adjusting.
This unit performed every bit as advertised on the RCA web-site. I recieve more than double the stations than I did without it. The number of stations recieved will greatlly depend on what is available in a particular area,obstructions,transmission quality, etc. The placement location is critical for best reception. I had to move it around some in order to get better reception. This unit will work fine for receiving transmissions up to a max of 30-40 miles. For greater distance, investigation of another unit would be required. I live in an urban area with a lot of obstruction, aircraft traffic, etc. and still get good reception. The reception quality is as good as any digital signal from a satellite system (which I used to have). Investigation still has to be done to pick the proper antenna for the situation. This is an excellant unit for my application.
This antenna picks up less stations than plain rabbit ears -- even in the UHF spectrum where rabbit ears are horrendous. I've tried several lower priced indoor antennas. None of them stood out. All of them (except this one) performed a bit better than plain rabbit ears. This antenna performed MUCH worse. I tested it in many locations, in many different positions throughout my house and was stunned by the lack of signal. Do not buy. You have been warned. Very easy return through Amazon. I love you guys!
After owning rabbit antennas for so many years, this is a welcome style. I got this for a Zenith TV that's about 10 years old. I'm not sure if it's the switch to HD or this antenna but the picture is stunning! Just like having cable. It's a little tricky to set up the channels for your area but other than that, it's a wonderful product. You never have to move it when you change channels, perfect picture every time.
Bought this antenna to pair with a digital converter box. Once connected, scanning from the digital converter tells me 11 channels found. When trying to watch on TV, only two channels really have signals, and both of them are very weak and the pictures on TV are frozen. This item is not worth the money.
I'm about 12 miles from my digital TV towers and wanted to upgrade from UHF only to UHF/VHF since two of my locals are now on VHF. I was using a plain stick antenna and got every channel in UHF, but this thing got nothing in either band. I tried orienting it every which way and still nothing. I actually resolved my issue by pulling the antenna off an old tube TV that was in my alley. Got every channel, no problems. This thing looks good, but isn't worth the money.
