Audiovox RCA ANT1450 Multidirectional HDTV Antenna

I purchased this antenna today hoping it would help us get our local PBS station and a few others that the rabbit ears were not picking up on our main tv. I hooked it up to our tv on the first floor but it picked up the same amount of channels as the rabbit ears. Then I plugged it in upstairs and now we are getting all of our local stations plus 7 more than we had before. There must be something blocking the signals downstairs. This antenna works great for us. Will have to find an outdoor antenna for the other tv though.

As many have said, this antenna will not perform as well as a basic set of "rabbit ears". The design is an attempt to make a more aesthetic antenna without loosing too much functionality. It works reasonably well for a cheap antenna as long as your near the broadcast source. However, it is far from omnidirectional as the manufacturer claims. Other than that there's nothing wrong with this product that I can tell. The signal amplifier seems to work well too, in my case it was required to pick up more than 2 channels. I made a mistake by picking this product, I will be returning it and purchasing a better quality model. Remember you get what you pay for, and this model is inexpensive. This product should only be purchased by those: - who can't install an outdoor antenna - find the appearance of "rabbit ears" unsightly enough to sacrifice a bit of reception quality - live very close to broadcast sources (as in can get at least some signal from stations with NO antenna)

I purchase this for my daughter. Where she did not get any channels before she now gets the three local channels. The closest other channels are at least 40 miles away. If it could be moved to the outside and placed higher, it probably could pick up a few more. It will do until she gets cable or sat service. I would only recommend it if you are within 30 miles of your broadcast stations, otherwise it will disappoint.

The package is nice to be able to hang on a wall or hide away somewhere. The problem is that it works much worse than basic rabbit ears for VHF reception, even with the amplifier. This product should only be used if you are <20 miles from the TV transmitter. I couldn't test the UHF reception because where I live I get the local UHF channels even without an antenna. But, it sure didn't work at all to pick up UHF stations a little further away. I returned the unit to Walmart. If you want a really good basic antenna, the only one I was able to find that actually works is a Philips SDV2270/17. I found that one at Lowes. The SDV2270 really pulled in the VHF stations far better than three other antennas I tried, and it is far less expensive.

i bought this yesterday with greant anticipation because my old antenna went kapput! i have just packed it back up and i am heading back to the store to return it. very disappointed. i got more channels and better reception with my old one which was a piece of junk. it is supposed to be MULTI-directional. yeah right! i had to move that thing more than my old rabbit ears. don't bother with this one. spend a few bucks more and upgrade to a better one.

and get something that really does the job. This unit would not pull in as many channels as my old rabbit ears would. I thought with the RCA name it would be solid quality, but I was sadly mistaken. It might work close to the city, but it does nothing beyond that. This one is going back to the store in the morning.

This is not worth the thirty dollars i spent on it. I can pick up more channels with a cheap $10 pair of rabbit ears.

I purchased this antenna today and was disappointed that it provided much worse reception (with and without the amplied attachment) than my broken down and taped up old rabbit ears! So, it's back to square one. I'm taking it back and will search for another pair of rabbit ears. This goes to show ya that fancier and more expensive doesn't necessarily mean "better" when it comes to electronics!

Before 12 channels - analog After installing this and doing gymnastics around the room trying to get a signal - 1 channel Main floor of the house with multiple windows multiple locations - 1 channel. A complete and total waste of money. Undoubtedly the worst product that i've bought in YEARS...

I've owned this antenna for a few weeks now and I wish now that I had returned it. I've laid it flat, angled it, hung it on the wall, and still don't receive all the stations I should. The CBS station (digital 12) is only 19 miles away and this antenna can't pick it up. Even with the amplifier plugged inline. Oddly enough the PBS station (digital 15) is 33 miles away comes in perfectly. Fox (digital 2) is only 5 miles away and nothing. Save your money and invest in a better antenna than this one.
