RCA - Indoor Dipole Loop Antenna - Black
RCA - Indoor Dipole Loop Antenna - Black
Go low-tech to receive HDTV signals with this RCA digital indoor TV antenna. Perfect in a large urban area with lots of local TV channels, this low-profile antenna provides a 12-position switch for fine tuning reception. This RCA digital indoor TV antenna captures signals in a 40-mile range and installs easily.

Might work in other areas but not here

from Mansfield, OH.
Honestly I wasn't expecting much for $15, and thankfully Best Buy has a good return policy because these are going to have to go back. I had purchased a flat antenna very cheap from Odd Lots... and was thinking maybe with an older 'rabbit ear' style antenna I may be able to pick up something else in my area. Sadly I was wrong. I can pick up 4 channels with the flat antenna but could only get two with this RCA model; and actually they were the same station just different channel numbers.
I live in an upstairs apartment close to downtown Mansfield, OH and there are no tall trees or buildings around that could block the signal. I tried moving the antenna around the room some, changing the position of the dipoles, fine tuning the dial etc. and still nothing.
It has a nice design though and looks pretty sharp, was to install as well. Just wouldn't work for my area. But for $15 and knowing you can return it, it's worth a try at least.
What's great about it: Small sleek design, easy to hook up.
What's not so great: Didn't work for my area at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Durability
