 This is a good indoor antennaJan 14, 2008
By Bezerkeley Guy
I live in in a yellow area in West Berkeley, CA, so I shouldn't need an outdoor antenna. To hedge my bets, I purchased this antenna because it has a power gain i.e., it's amplified via a powercord to an electrical outlet. Before I plugged it in and attached it to my Sony Bravia 40in flat screen, I didn't receive ANY channels in the SF Bay Area. After I plugged it in and did a channel search, it found 31 digital channels.
I'd recommend to anyone purchasing an antenna for HDTV to do your research, find out what color zone you are in, and then hedge your bets and get an amplified antenna if you go with an indoor antenna.
I've no complaints with this antenna & now I get so many stations that I'm quite happy to embark on my 7th year of no cable or satellite TV! Between all of these digital channels I get over the air in the SF Bay Area and my Netflix subscription for movies, I'm set...and am VERY glad I don't need to pay a cable or satillite company to get TV reception.

 Doesn't WorkJan 30, 2008
By DC

It just doesn't work. I live in DC, and needed an antenna to work with my Samsung HD Tuner feeding into a 27" Dell monitor. My old rabbit ear antenna was able to pull in more channels, with stronger signals. I tried moving the RCA around, using the bypass, fidgetting with the UHF/VHF amplification, etc. But whenever I scanned for channels, it just didnt pick up as many as my old rabbit ears.

Better than expected...Feb 19, 2009
By Leevon M. Rouse
I know performance for an antenna will always be determined by the area you're in. Personally, I have had GREAT performance from this antenna. I was skeptical at first because I used to work for Thomson Multimedia from 1994 to 2002 at their customer service call center. I used to field incoming customer complaints for 8 hours a day, and I also handled the use and care of our products. I also worked at Best Buy in the home theater (after Thomson laid us off and moved the call center). Saying all this to say that I have lots of personal experience with RCA products - both good and bad. I have no loyalty to the company specificly as I have been on the inside, and outside as far as involvement.
This antenna's performance has far out-performed anything I was expecting. I had a passive HD-capable antenna connected to an Insignia digital converter box. The major channels came in with no problem, but a few of the lesser channels used to freeze and pixelate to the point where they were unwatchable. When I connected this amplified antenna, I was able to pick up 2 channels that I didn't have before...PLUS the lesser channels with the weak signals began coming in crystal clear. Checking the signal meter on those channels, I see at least a 45% improvement in signal strength. This is helping me stay away from cable for a little longer.

THE BEST - Highly RecommendedMay 04, 2008
By Eric J. Draves
I already have one of these, and it's a real beaut. It cranks out 55dB amplification with just the turn of a knob (separate knobs for UHF/VHF) and it picks up the weak HD signals very easily. I've tried dozens of antennae over the last 15-20 years, and this one has performed fantastically and so much better than all the others. Every single station comes in clear (even CBS 2 Chicago which I am told gets a lot of complaints from upset viewers over the poor signal). After I give this review I'm buying another one-- that's why I came here!
The only drawback is that a red LED stays on while it's plugged in, which to me is just a waste of electricity. But it's better than some other models I could mention that have a CLOCK!

 Roll the dice...Apr 17, 2008
By rm125chris

I've never known of an amplified antenna that has worked really well so when I bought this one I wasn't expecting much. In fact, I was expecting very little. My goal was to drop my satellite service at $50 a month and make due with a powered antenna.
So far, this antenna has confirmed my low expectations. I live on the outskirts of a major metropolitan area so this antenna should shine in this type of setting. Several channels are available at reduced strength. In the end, only one channel is even worth watching, and that one is of poor quality.
You may have better results than I did but don't get the idea that this is the solution to all of your problems.
