My cheap, ancient rabbit ears worked better than this one did. After manipulating in every feasible manner, I could only get MOST of the channels. If I wanted to get (e.g.) channel 3, I would lose channel 6. Or vice versa. But I was never able to obtain every channel in the spectrum. All of our signal towers are in the same vicinity to each other, and I contorted the antenna in every which possible way I could (short of bending them). No go. Perhaps it would work better from farther away (from town)...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: N/A
I live about 20 miles from the metro area and have hooked up 2 HDTV's to this antenna using a splitter. The TV upstairs (6" cable to antenna) never has an issue and the one in the basement (35' cable to antenna) rarely has some pixelation. Definitely worth the money and more!

What's great about it: Not very expensive
What's not so great: Wish I could get more channels
Purchased to get channels in Memphis, TN. Had been using another antenna that would bring in only one channel clear and a few others fuzzy. This antenna allowed me to bring in a few more channels clear. I decided to keep it (especially for the price) and continue to research if another antenna that would be more expensive might be my next step. However, looking at the reviews of other antennas, even the more expensive ones do not get high ratings. One nice thing is that Best Buy said that I could try the antenna and if it did not perform well, I could return it.

What's great about it: Small, yet powerful at little cost.
This antenna meets all our needs in picking up HD stations clearly and constant. We tried higher cost antennas that you had to constantly move in certain directions. This one, once you find that sweet spot, it tends to work throughout. At half the cost I might add.
Of course, with any antenna, your positioning within towers helps!

The reception on the antenna wasn't all that bad. The main fact that made me return this item was that you would have to move the bunny ears around to just the right location for each and every channel. This is of no fault of the products but there are simply better options out there. May I suggest this product: http://www.gomohu.com/. It works like a champ and it is one flat piece so no moving it around. Find the place it works the best and never have to move it again. It is 100% worth more for your money.

What's great about it: price and reception quality
I purchased this antenna instead of one of the more expensive omnidirectional based on the recommendation of a Best buy employee. He said he sees a decent number of the more expensive returned, but rarely sees the model. I have to agree. I hooked it up and a channel scan and I got all of the broadcast channels from my area and a some from the nearby area as well. I haven't have to fuss with antennas.

What's great about it: Item quality, easy to set up
What's not so great: Reception in my location
The location required for this antennae in our house impairs signal reception (for TV only). It is in the basement and about 8 feet from a small window. As a consequence, we do not receive all the signals available in our location even though it is relatively close to a large city. Potential buyers should consider their individual conditions and environment before buying this antennae.

What's great about it: Great price
This antenna works great and the price is just right. We have two of these great antenna's. Because we do not have cable, we have to use an antenna on our flat screen and the other one is used with the digital convertor box on the older tv. We are very satisfied with our purchase. Don't pay big bucks for an antenna this RCA antenna is worth trying.

What's not so great: just flat out terrible
I have had more luck with old rabbit ears with aluminum foil! Of course, that isn't an option on new tv's, but this is not worth anything. The combination of two different antennas for UHF/VHF and a bunch of different settings on the dial, make this about the worst option for an indoor antenna. Can you imagine getting up and turning the dial for half your channels in search of the best picture? Or constantly adjusting the ears? Me either.

I had purchased one of these antenna's a month or so back right after I dropped cable. I did some research and found that I am within 10 miles from most of the signals in Milwaukee so I knew this onw should be fine and it has surpassed my expectiations. Please research before you get an antenna. If you are a long way away this will not work as well.

What's great about it: Nothing, poor performance.
What's not so great: Poor quality picture. It's a bad product.
This antenna manufactured by RCA for UHF/VHF/FM is not a good antenna. I purchased one at Best Buy. What I had in mind was to use it with a converter box that is attached to a really nice, new Sony analog TV. Reception is poor, and the antenna needs to be constantly adjusted because if not adjusted, picture freezes or you see lots of little digital squares. Actually, I'm surprised because I thought RCA made decent antennas. The flat ones they make, costing about twice as much at least, are little better, but not really the greatest either. Those have to be adjusted now and then too, especially in rainy weather. It is Not the fault of this Radio Shack converter box, that's for sure. I tested this RCA antenna with a digital TV as well. Same results.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
