Easy to Install and Use

Superior Quality

All RCA TV antennas:

- Are designed and engineered in the USA.

- Are built with the highest quality components.

- Meet or exceed all quality and performance standards established by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).

- Deliver the best, most reliable, uncompressed HD picture.

SmartBoostTM Amplification

RCA’s innovative SmartBoost technology offers precise amplification and allows TV tuners to pick up and amplify the right TV signals, unlike competitors’ amplifiers that also amplify background broadcast noise. SmartBoost amplifies weak signals to preserve purity while reducing signal noise with precision circuitry. Better amplification = More channels!

UHF and VHF Channels in HD

Many antennas on the market are optimized to receive only UHF broadcasts and do not reliably receive VHF. All RCA TV antennas are precision-tuned to receive both UHF and VHF frequencies and will provide you with the most HD content that is available in your area - the most popular over-the-air TV shows, news, sports and more.

Mediocre.
It works better after 5pm in my area I will get my CW after 5pm until 9am next day along with other channels. I get about 70 channels the higher up channels after #30 is when it dies out at 9am and get them back at 5pm. I have used steaming TV subscriptions since 2016 and the prices just keeps increasing it's just crazy. Finding the right antenna is a challenge especially indoor as for me don't have the ability to install one outdoors. I live about 20 miles from any tower. I get a decent amount of channels ABC,CBS, FOX NBC, CW at certain time with others. I picked this because the Antenna Man on YouTube suggested it as it was the only one that actually had a decent coax cable. It does but it could be better it does have a bit of pixelation at times sometimes I have to fuss with getting the antenna in a good direction. But it's still a great antenna if you don't live to far from towers and flat area. I would recommend it. I also purchase another antenna Antop brand to see if theres a difference.But overall not a bad RCA antenna I would get it if you want a cheap antenna for locals and a few others if you can get them. Give it a try if you don't like you have 30 days to return it.Update returned this for ANTOP Antenna AT-405BV such a better antenna and get everything channel I was looking for and more.
