RCA ANT1550 Large Multi-Directional Digital Flat Amplified Antenna (White) Review


I have always been dedicated to taking my TV off the air waves, and in the old analog world I was able to accomplish that with rabbit ears of various types. I began the new digital experience with the rabbit ears and found them to be a bit lacking in dealing with the weather conditions here in the north east. So I purchased a smaller version of this RCA multi-directional flat amplified antenna. In the meantime I had moved from a house on a hill where we had a clear shot to Boston TV transmitters to a condo behind a couple of hills where I am not allowed to have an outside antenna. This new antenna provides a beautiful picture on our new HDTV when the weather permits. Unfortunately this June that has not been often. I end up changing its position when I change stations from the low numbers to the high numbers. I will turn it off at night with great reception on a station and when I turn it on in the morning I have to change its position. I am not sure what to do next. Perhaps I shall build a remote controlled platform to allow me to change its attitude without bringing the capacitive influence of my body into play.
As some of the other reviewers said in reviews I read here before purchase it is not the end all. I think that may be a specialized antenna which will have to be buried out of sight in the attic of the condo. If you have patience it is a good buy.

Buy it here now!
