RCA ANT1020 Universal Indoor Antenna

This is quite easy to hook up, too. It comes with a coax to screw down adapter, so it should fit any TV right out of the box without requiring any additional trips to Radio Shack. A big plus in my book.

I like the modern appearance of the antenna. However, with both of the "rabbit ears" on the same end of the TV it seem kind of off balance. Since it's not fixed to the top of the TV set, it ends up on the floor a lot. It also gets moved from its optimal position, so you have to reposition it from time to time. Not a big deal...just an observation.

For the price, I don't see how you could do better than this one.


Only slightly better than aluminum foil...   March 13, 2002

I had aluminum foil attached via coaxial cable to my T.V. before I purchased this antenna. After hooking the antenna up, I noticed only marginal improvements. Also, if you want to change between lesser reception channels, you have to completely reposition the antenna. I would return it, but I would get barely half of what I paid for it, since I would still have to pay for return shipping as well as the original shipping cost.

I bought this antenna to replace the out of the box dipole antenna that came with my television. I live in an area that has only UHF stations and hoped that this antenna would improve the overall reception. Hookup was easy and placement was no problem because of its small stature. However, when I turned my TV on I was surprised that my reception had downgraded rather than improved. I tried several different placements and adjustments to the antenna with marginal results. This may be a unique occurence but I don't want anyone to be fooled into thinking that this antenna is the end all be all. Keep your receipt you just might need to return it!


Too directional dependent   November 19, 2001

This antenna is too directional dependent. Almost always I have to re-adjust its orientation to obtain better reception on any one channel. In addition, if you live in an apartment very close to or surrounded by adjacent apartment blocks, forget about this antenna. Given most of the previous reviews, it will probably work okay if you live in small buildings.

I am able to tune in channels that were previously quite impossible here, with this little antenna!! The antenna on the roof of this building is completely useless, at best. I am quite impressed and pleasantly surprised by the performance of this antenna that put only a tiny dent in my pocket!
