WEAK...

I'll keep this short and simple. This thing barely works, at all. I've found that you can get a signal off a Digital TV by just hooking up the cord that attaches to it to something else like a DVD player (this amplifies the signal). As long as it's hooked up to SOMEthing, it should be able to get a somewhat decent signal. The problem with this is it's not too reliable and doesn't fully substitute an actual antenna. However, it does work. I've found that hooking up the cord to a DVD player or something else works as effectively as this stupid ANT1000 Digital Flat Antenna. Essentially, all it is is a cord and some thin metal. That's literally all it is! This thing is like a homemade antenna. And that point is even more revelant as you have to assemble this thing, yourself. While not hard to assemble, the instructions don't tell you jack squat, so you have to figure out how to do it, yourself, and not knowing at first, is hard. What you have to do is unscrew the thing and use the tiny holes in the antenna's "wings" to patch it into the center plastic part of the device, so that you are essentially screwing in the wings to the centerpiece. When you first get it in the box, nothing at all is essembled. Besides the assembly required, the antenna (which like I said, is as good as any plastic homemade thing you would make yourself) just doesn't work that well. It can only get about 80% of all available channels, as opposed to 100%, and the signal is constantly being broken or interrupted, probably by the weather outdoors. So you'll constantly have to move the antenna around in order to get a clear signal. And also, some points you place will exclude some channels, meaning you'll won't get all of them in one placed spot in the room your TV is in. To put it in other words, this antenna makes it IMPOSSIBLE to always have 100% of your channels, as some of them will always not pick up due to where you placed it. If you move it around, you might get those missing ones back, but at the cost of the ones you had. This is even more upsetting as I don't even watch the "extra" digital channels available. I only watch six: FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC, The CW, and MyNetworkTV. And at some points, I will have FOX, CBS, and NBC, but not have ABC and The CW. Other times, I'll have The CW, but not have FOX or NBC. Yeah. THIS is what you'll have to live with with this antenna. Oh, and by the way, opening a window, or placing it outside doesn't help it work better, either. I guess, you get what you paid for, since this antenna is fairly inexpensive. However, I recommend you go for something much better than this cheap, homemade piece of crap. RCA's antennas have six Signal Ratings: Standard, Good, Great, Excellent, Superior, and Ultimate. Which is really just a level of how bad-to-good they really are. This antenna ranks as "Good" which is the second-to-worst rating there is. So, that should tell you to go for something better than this. At least, go for "Excellent" condition. It may be pricey, but it's better than wasting your money on THIS piece of junk.
