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.

As good as cable

on October 21, 2011

Posted by: fpm2002

from Los Angeles, CA

I hooked this unit up to my new LG 37" LCD and it worked like a charm! Signals as clear as cable TV. There were a few glitches, but those were easily overcome.

First, I initially set up the antenna on a small stand just beneath my wall-mounted TV monitor, with the antennae fully extended in a v shape behind the monitor. While aesthetically pleasing, I believe this caused some interference with reception as a couple of channels were not sometimes not coming in and channel 9 would not come in at all, no matter how many times I changed the signal knob on the top of the unit.

I switched the antenna to on top of the TV (it actually balances very well on top with the wall behind providing support). Although the antennae sticking up don't look as nice, it doesn't look horrible either. I still had problems with channel 9, but now, turning the knob, it comes in clearly.

I get all the standard channels and their digital extras (7-1, 7-2, 7-3, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 30-1, 30-2, etc.) .

And for purposes of comparison, my TV is located in the middle of the house- in my case, there was no need to mount the antenna near a window.

What's great about it: Low price, simple use, easy set up, reception as clear as cable

What's not so great: Limited places to actually set it up (base requires a bit of space)

I would recommend this to a friend!
