UHF 5 stars - VHF 1 star

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".

Highly disappointed.

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.

good Antenna

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.

Great Reception When Using A Coax Coupler

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  more

Better reception than my old antenna

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  more
