I have tried many antenna including a $90 antenna from best buy but this have the best reception out of all of them. I was very impressed witht he performance and it was very easy to setup. With HD quality like this who needs cable.....

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I used Terk TV4. In fact, it was an old model for analog TVs. It still worked and received up to 37 channels. However it was very difficult to catch CBS and ABC channels simultaneously. With this HDTV internal antenna, I got all major channels vividly without signal loss. This device supports 12 rotating position and up to 3 times of gain. PBS channels were very weak. But by rotaing the circular upper plate (6th spot and 3 times gain) and positioning the rabit ears with some diagonal direction in the corner of my living room, I could successfully got PBS signals too. I don't need some additional free channels except major broadcasts. Without power injection, some weak signal channels are not available with "No Signal" sign. I might later try Terk TV4 with some powered signal amplifier to find if any other channels are cought additionally. But I'm very satisfied with this device because I don't need any heavy and large outer door antenna installed. One major drawback is that this device needs an power for amplified signal.

I wanted to get FREE TV via a TV (not just the Internet)! Don't like Satellite, Cable not available in my Subdivision and ATT's brand for Advance TV without a Satellite is taking too long to arrive. Since I had to purchase equipment, I wanted one that would give me the most available stations (bang for the buck)! This one did the Job! I was able to place it upstairs where all the wiring starts for the other TVs with the CATV5/6 wiring. This way I will be able to get Over the Air reception to all TV's with one Digital Converter.

I didn't need the documentation to even hook it up (I like to have it and found that mines was in the box). I wanted the amplifier built in (since I have more then four outlets in the house) and a remote (rotor) to move the antenna around for fine-tuning. With the Remote (I have to fully test this range) no running back and forth upstairs to adjust the antenna for reception (which I did test). My first attempt at this for an antenna was a bummer (got reception not as well this one since that amplifier sucked — but the issue of making the adjustments and fine tuning came to mind). The reason I wanted the remote.

I purchased it to be used for testing at least four TVs (2 STD Analog, 1 HDTV Monitor and 1 HDTV with the ATSC, 8-VSB and Clear-QAM Digital tuner). I have been able to receive reception on 3 of these TV's! The one TV with the Digital tuner built in has EXCELLENT reception! I received one Analog station so I was able to test reception to the STD TV's via existing CATV wiring in this manner with out the use of Digital Converter.

I think I am one of the most blocked Homes in the Subdivision! I don't know or have any idea of when anyone last attempted to receive FREE TV Reception! However, I found one (and for those who need to place it in an Attic – or a second story area (i.e. Higher is always better…less possible obstructions) with out it looking out of place this is the Antenna to get! The remote will eliminate the exercise you have to do for adjusting it for Fine Tuning!

By the way this Antenna is NOT JUST for an HDTV, what was important is that is provided a COAX connection, with an amplifier and remote! I attached The Manual Directions in English in PDF Format!

Works very well for me in Auburn. I live on top of a hill, so I was getting ok reception with just a cheap antenna, but this one pulls in some of the stations that I just couldn't get before. Be sure to follow the installation instructions and use antennaweb.org to figure out which stations you should be able to get using the antenna.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get a strong signal for all Atlanta area stations, even though I am about 25 miles from the transmitters. With the antennas I had previously used, I could only receive a few. I'm not sure the amplifier is necessary in this area since I am able to get good reception with the power off. The rotor motor/gears sound like they are a little flimsy, so I'm not sure how well they will work over time. However, this is being used with a small portable "backup" tv, and most of the stations are aligned from my location so that rotation of the antenna will be limited. It definitely met (actually exceeded) my expectations.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

We had an antenna that only brought in a couple of stations in a fixed location. To get other stations we had to get up and move the antenna. We thought this product would be great because we could use the remote to move the settings. However, the signal was not strong enough to bring in any stations at all where we live so I am returning the antenna.

This product is very useful for my household. We have purchased 2 so far and we like the reception we get when we use it with our analog TV's. We dont have hdtv but this antenna makes me feel like we do...the picture is so crisp and sharp...wonderful product...definitely recommend to anyone.

Setup was a breeze. Picked a channel on the Antenna and TV tuned to the best channels. Selected the next channel and tuned the rest. Picked up channels in the range of 35 miles. Remote is handy and you don;t have to move from your sofa.

I bought this antenna to experiment with what digital signals are available to me in my area. I installed on top of my 50inch HI-Def set and was able to get all my network channels and alot of others,almost 35. Soon as my contract with Dish network is up I am going to be watching free tv from now on.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Got a better signal than the previous (cheap) antenna and was able to pickup more than twice the stations.However, be careful of the store where you buy one. The one in Snellville GA does not have units available on the shelves. The salesperson had to get one from the storage room. She took forever. When I got home, the antenna made a strange, grinding sound when I plugged it in. Also, there was no owner's manual in the box and the twist-tie on the coax cable was loose in the bag. Was this a returned unit that they sold me as new? I wish I could prove it one way or another. I'll give it a little time and hold onto the receipt, just in case. [...]

I just bought this antenna tonight 11/30. The picture quality is great! I have access to 40 digital channels with no flaws in any channel. Every channel comes in crystal clear!
I live in an area with alot of trees and other obtstuctions and could never get a signal with an amplified antenna. Say goodbye cable t v! You just lost my business!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This antenna made a huge difference to my reception in North Miami, Florida. I had been using a standard rabbit ear and reception was terrible. Many channels dropping out all the time and others not coming through at all.

With this unit all channels come in, and the ones that are weak I can adjust the antenna by typing the channel number on the included remote.

There are a few that are still weak, but rarely fade out. It would be the perfect indoor antenna if it had maybe just a little bit more gain. At least for my service area.

But overall, I can't complain, it has made a HUGE difference in my reception. And with the remote it sure beats getting up everytime you switch a channel to adjust the antenna. Even higher gain antennas don't offer you that feature.

Remote works great, my only complaint on it would be that they had laid it out different. The way its laid out you tend to try to use it pointing the wrong way, at least until you get used to it. Its an RF remote so it doesn't matter which way you point it, the antenna will receive the command.

I bought this on the recommendation of the staff at my local Radio Shack. I am thrilled with the purchase. I installed it in my basement where I've been having trouble getting any signal at all for channels 5 and 7. Some other channels were coming in poorly. Once I set this antenna up and played around a little with the gain and direction for Fox and CW, I was good to go. Channels 5 and 7 now have a very good signal and the other channels are strong. This is a vast improvement over my previous RCA amplified antenna. Easy to set up and well worth the money.

The internal rotation is as good as a roof antenna with a rotor without all the expense and trouble.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I am using this HD antenna on 1080p 73 inch mitsubishi TV in Waterford WI. I tried other high end amplified antennas resulting in about 6 channels and returned them. This one pulls in 34 channels with the anolog rabbit ears down in a basement! You will however have to play around with the gain and direction then program it, which was very easy. After you do that all you have to do when you do get a weak/no signal is punch the channel number into the remote. The gain and the directional feature take over. It however would be nice to have a power button on the remote or the unit to shut it off.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I bought the antenna and set it up the same day.
The owner's manual was easy and direct. I placed the antenna on top of the tv as instructed. At first it was somewhat disappointing; I was not able to get in many digital channels. I continued to work with the fine tuning/directional feature and rabbit ears. Not bad! I was able to pickup several more stations. I am determined to get the max. out of this antenna and will continue to play around with different locations around the living room. If you want basic tv prgramming, then this antenna is a good alternative to a satelite tv service. But be prepared to spend some time in fine tuning the antenna. One other note, the converter box I use is also a Radioshack product.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I've read the other reviews here, and I have to say that I'm surprised it works as well as it does. I've placed it in the 2nd floor bedroom of my townhouse, and it picks up around 35 stations in the area. I didn't bother to adjust anything, I just plugged it in and set my tv to scan for channels. It turns out that I'm only 15 miles from one set of transmitters tho. Those stations obviously come in great. I don't know if that means that the antenna is a good one or not, since the signals are so close. I'm 23 miles from another set of tranmitters, they need a little adjustment. Unfortunately I can't write about any distances longer that that. But if you want to see where you are in relation to transmitters near you, go to [@]. I didn't realize I was so close to the towers, or how many stations were actually broadcasting.

This antenna pulled in so many HDTV stations, many 40+ miles out through buildings and trees. Great deal!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

While scanning for channels with the converter box, I was only able to receive ONE CHANNEL. What good is the digital signal if you can not use a decent indoor ant. Very unhappy !

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This was the fourth antenna I tried because we wanted to get rid of cable TV now that the number of channels on free over-the-air TV is growing with the new digital signals. It immediately scanned in 34 channels. I took the time and programmed the antenna for each channel. I monitored the signal strength using my DTV remote for each channel and programmed the exact antenna position for each channel. I believe this is the problem with other fixed antennas, because what was a good position for one channel was a bad position for another channel. Now we can use the antenna remote to rotate the antenna to the position which gives us the strongest signal. No more cable TV.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

If you purchase more than one of these for the same household thinking you can watch one channel in one room and another channel in another room, then think again. Since this has a RF remote, changing channels on one unit will change the antenna steering for all units within RF range, which is pretty long. RF = Radio Frequency, this type of remote control goes through walls, floors, etc.

The unit does not have channel selector buttons, only antenna steering buttons, so even if you throw all of the remotes away, you will be steering the antenna manually in each room when you change channels.

This Radio Frequency remote technology was not well thought out for an antenna that people might want to use in different rooms at the same time like a family would have.

I use this Antenna with Windows Media Centre. The big five has excellent reception. For the reception of the local channels, I have to turn the antennae, which is not an option when I have multiple recording scheduled at the middle of night.
Wish I spend the extra money and went for omnidirectional one.

Just bought today. Instructions were very easy to follow. Set up was very easy. But no signal. At all. Even hooked it up to another TV to see if our TV was at fault. No signal. Don't waste your money.

Bought it a while ago and after several months decided to give it a try. Absolutely worthless. No signal... Yes, I'm an idiot for holding on to it so long as they won't take it back... didn't need it until the football season started as I rely on a dish for most viewing. A total waste of money. SIGH!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This antenna has to be used close to the TV so make sure you have extra room for it. It's very bulky so it's not ideal for everyone. It does pick up most Wash DC and Baltimore channels but I had to frequently adjust the antenna with the remote. I wasn't able to get Channel 7 (ABC) or Channel 9 (CBS) even though I'm just outside of Wash DC. For that I needed to buy a small Radio Shack outdoor antenna.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Seemed like a great purchase, however, we dont get one of our favorite channels anymore. Radio Shack says that its the channels problem. Upon calling the channel, they say that the antenna isnt good enough. So, buyer beware! This is not an automatic fix to the hdtv switch over.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

2nd unit, both died within 6 months, but AFTER the 3 month warranty! I have a $200 battery-backup/surge protector that this plugged into for power. Antenna plugged into Dishnetwork top-of-the-line DVR. Liked the first one and when it died thought maybe I had a bad one. Bought another on-line in Feburary, now it's dead. On both, lights still come on but no signal to DVR. Save Your Money!!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This honestly could not have been easier to set up. I put it on top of our analogue tv. I plugged it into the converter box and turned it on. I didn't mess with it at all. I did the auto scan, it brought up every single channel that is available in our area. The picture is just as good as it was with our dish provider. The price is about what we pay with our dish bill, so it paid for itself in one month after cancelling our service with said dish provider. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of our picture. This was a great purchase. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for some free tv in these economic times.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

DO NOT buy this. I was looking for a stronger antenna to pick up local stations that came in pixelated or not at all with my converter box. This item was highly recommended. Hooked it up. Flimsy design, Remote that was NOT user friendly and came with a broken battery cover but it DROPPED 2 of the stations that I had been able to receive with my converter box.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This is a great antenna for receiving digital TV broadcasts. If you can read the cat in the hat you should be able to understand the directions on how to set up this antenna. There are 10 different presets you can set for each one of your channels. You can even number then by the Station number. The picture with this antenna is 100 times better then you get with analog cable. Worth every penny. I have had this antenna now for 2 yrs and have not had one single issue.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

It was advertised to pick up stations up to 20 miles and lived up to that expection, plus picked up stations as far away as 50 miles!! With the remote fine adjustment I was able to place it on a high bookcase and make the slight adjustments when needed without getting on a chair each time. The only con I've found so far is the rabbit ears (for VHF channels); About all you can do is extend them and move them up and down. I had to move the entire unit (which would defeat the whole fine tunning aspect) to get an direction change. But since in the Detroit area we only have one VHF channel broadcasting HD, I just aligned the unit until I got that channel's reception, then used the fine tunning procedure to set the remaining UHF channels. Most of the towers are about 15-16 miles away so I expected (hoped) the signal to be strong for most of the stations. only the CW is a little weak and does break up on occasion but even that very rarely. Anyway I'm happy enough with the performance that I'm canceling the locals from my sattellite plan which will pay for the antenna in less then a year.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Antenna did not pickup the local stations (no sync with digital converter box). Since this antenna was to replace a working one in an attempt to get better reception, I have not been in a rush to figure out what the problem is. I will try again in the next few days.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This antenna has confusing instructions and is complex for average user. Apparently the keypad is intended to change the direction of the antenna to a preset vector, but the correlation between preset number and direction is not evident. Best signal strength settings is not as high as that from 15-1878 antenna and 15-1878 is less expensive. I took this one back for a refund.

I do not have cable in the bedroom and this antenna picks up almost all of the stations - Those stations that it does pick up are very clear with very (very) little interference. However, no matter what I do I can not get reception for channel '11'..
DEFINETLY BETTER THAN THE LAST ANTENNA I PURCHASED FROM RADIO SHACK - AND I WOLD RECOMMEND IT IF YOU HAVE SPACE SINCE IT IS BULKY AND TAKES UP ROOM...........

I live in a 2 story apartment building with other 2 story apartment buildings on all three sides. This product was able to receive excellent signal for channels 2, 4, and 5 in HD along with numerous other channels. As for Channels 7, 9, 11 and 13, I was unable to receive them at all (maybe due to my position relative to transmitting towers)?? I moved the unit around the apartment to see if maybe a different position would enable me to lock onto more channels, but I was unsuccessful. Needless to say, I will be returning this item back to Radio Shack and will have to get an external rooftop antenna which hopefully will work better.

These "Starship Enterprise" antennae are the only ones that I have found work in my house since the digital conversion so I now have 3 of them. Two are hooked up to converter boxes and the other is to a new HDTV set. I still have some reception issues but I think they're all related to the digital conversion monster.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This product exceeded our expectations. We're using an analog to digital tv converter for our older analog tv, which was fine until the conversion. We borrowed a lower end amplified antenna and got no stations at all after the conversion. You need the amplified antenna with 3 gain levels like this one to pick up the digital signals. Now we get excellent reception and are very happy with the product. We've had it for 2 months now and haven't run into any problems. Don't buy this antenna if you don't have at least 1' square area to spare. It takes up a bit of space.

Ive been using my rca amplied antenna and I had a hard time finding one for my friend. I reseached this unit last night and purchased it today for her. Im going back tomorrow to by one for myself because it clearly picks up the channels easier and clearer then mine. The channels now never fade out and I dont even have to move the powered antenna after I set it. Really impressed so far!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

At first, I was afraid that we wouldn't get any decent signals, and I was disappointed that there was no owner's manual in the box. We are 28.7 miles from most of the city's signals, and there are lots of big trees close to our south suburban one-story ranch house.

I had already experimented with a Phillips SDV2210 and was able to pick up 4 PBS channels, 2 WGNs, and a FOX channel with very good reception. When we set up this antenna, we had a lot of snow which surprised me, since I thought that digital would either give an excellent picture, lots of pixels, or "no signal." And we had lots of loud hissing noises at first, too.

But when I changed the input from 3 to 4, everything cleared up nicely. After playing around with it, I am now able to pull in several versions of NBC, PBS, FOX, and a variety of Independent stations. It is plugged into a Zenith DTT901 converter box, and it does an admirable job of scanning. The last time I scanned, I was able to pick up 33 channels ~~~ not bad for a small analog Goldstar TV that is decades old!

We still can't get CBS channel 2 (expected for the Chicago area) ~~~ but ABC channel 7 won't come in, either. However, the multiple NBC channels are as clear as a bell, and so are several PBS channels, FOX channels, the WGNs, and lots of Indys, including the Me and MeToo channels with vintage programming.

I am very pleased, and would suggest that people keep tweaking this antenna and trying different options before giving up on it. Some folks may not like the design, but I really appreciate the Starship Enterprise look and the convenient remote!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Bought this antenna due to the digital tv conversion. My condo complex's antenna was horrible and I needed something that would easily work inside on top of my tv. Very easy to set up, attractive design, extremely strong signal, has a remote control to adjust the signal if needed, and easily fits on top of the tv or next to it. Would recommend this to anyone who needed and wanted a really good signal. Appears to be very well made, solid, well packed, easy instructions, etc. A+++

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Under certain circumstances where you can't hook up to an outside antenna this is one of the best.
The main problem is set up. Yes it's e-z to get set up, but the big problem is everytime you move the antenna or the ears you have to start all over again with programing and scanning. It took nearly 4 hours to finally find the right location and extension of the rabbit ears. Each time I touched the unit, adjusted the ears, or moved the unit we had to do the whole remote and scan process over and over again. Also it's best to do the scanning and adjustments after the sun goes down so you maximize your signals without the interference of the setting sun. Once set don't touch it or you're gonna be frustrated like me.

I would have used this antenna for recieving off the air DTV signals, but it was worse than my old antenna. My old antenna got at least 4 channels, but this got none! NOT reccomended at all!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

OK folks...When you take it out of the box and place it on/near the TV, hook it up, extend the ears, and turn it and the TV/converter on, DO NOT just let your converter box or TV do a scan for available channels. Why? Because the antenna is at its default setting (direction, intensity, channel). I found that if you do a scan for available channels, you will NOT pick up many, and you cannot add channels manually if you know that they are out there!
So, do this: Place your hand on the top or base of the antenna (thus using your body to help pull in the most signals as possible), and do the channel scan with your hand still touching the antenna, and voila...lots more channels should be found during the scan. This method worked for me, and now, when I move away from the TV, sit in a comfy chair, I can use the remote to fine tune if one of the scanned channels is not picked up using the antenna's current configuration. Then I program that information into the remote, and BINGO...I'm a happy camper.
If pixellation or signal cut-outs occur, look outside to see if the wind is blowing limbs of trees into the path of the digital signals (sorry folks...digital signals do not transmit like analog. They are line-of-sight, so even limbs moving in the breeze can cut/freeze the signals momentarily.)
I hope this helps non-techies get the most out of this antenna. I like the fact that I do not have to get out of the chair to adjust the antenna to view certain channels! And you don't have to set the gain to level 3 for all channels...experiment on each channel. Some channels may perform better at lower settings.
' Hope this information helps you before you give up and return a perfectly good product!

We went for over a year in our new place without watching local off air channels as we only have satellite tv.
I finally got ticked off when I could not watch the NBA finals. I bout and returned 8 antennas from different stores. To cut a long story short, I have cancelled my satellite service.
The reception looks way better than my satellite, I now get HD channels and all the local off air channels I need. 5 Stars!

I'm a senior who watches a lot of tv. I was drawn to this antenna because of the positive comments, and I had my reservations about it at first, but today, with the completion of the switchover, I am thrilled. I am receiving all available channels, crystal clear, sharp and beautiful picture.

My TV is about 6 years old, bulky, and the antenna sits right there on top, no problem.

I don't have any complaints about this antenna at all. I just love it. When you consider the money I was going to have to put out for a new outdoor antenna, plus possibly an amplifier, plus the good graces of the husband of a friend to do all the work, I'm just LOVING my "spaceship sitting on the Eifel Tower" antenna. LOL!!

Now if the antenna will just have a long life in and of itself, I will be absolutely ecstatic!!!

I live in a small town in Northern AZ of about 20,000 people. FOX has an antenna there. My rabbit ears on my TV work, sometimes, so I figured that ahead of the DTV switch a better antenna would suit me well.

This antenna is supposedly one of the best. But it did not work for me in small town AZ. It didn't even work at all. It picked up no signals even with its 12 channels and 3 power settings per channel.

Strange that my rabbit ears were getting something at least. Back to the drawing board.

This antenna is fantastic. When I first bought it, I used it to pick up over-the-air HD signals in San Jose, CA. Despite the fact that the vast majority of stations in the Bay Area are based out of San Francisco (and over 40 miles from where we lived), all the major stations came in great, other than NBC being finicky from time-to-time.

We just moved to the Washington DC area in Ashburn, VA (probably around 25 miles from most broadcast towers) and are able to pull in over 80% signal on every major station (leaving the antenna on one setting, without having to adjust it). If I fine tune the antenna with the remote each time I change a station I can easily get 95% to 100% signal on the major networks, but there's really no reason to do so. Great for those who want to set it and forget it.

In CA we set it up right next to a window for to pull in the best reception, but in VA I have it next to the TV a few feet from the windows and if I'm correct on where the locations of the towers are, this is still pulling fantastic reception through quite a few walls.

The only thing I miss is ESPN, but I can't justify paying for cable for one station. Can't recommend this enough for those wanting to switch to (or continue to use) over-the-air TV. Great product!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

just picked this up today. Not a bad deal for the money. It's a bit bulky and admittedly not the best looking thing I've ever owned. It also seems a bit flimsy as far as construction, but as long as it's on the top of the TV away from the kids, it should be fine. Works great! I'm about 35 miles from the towers and in a rural area and I get good reception with it.

I will probably eventually go with an outdoor directional antenna, but this works for now; but would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want an outdoor antenna and is looking for a decent indoor antenna.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I bought the Antenna today & will be returning it tomorrow to the store. The problem is I cannot pick-up all of the local channels.
Actually my old rabbit ears picks up the Digital channels as well as this one. I was not impressed with this unit. I will check out another antenna tomorrow to see if I can receive all of the digital channels.

I called the guys at radio shack and they recommended this product. I found it super easy to set up and the signal is great. Thanks guys for being there for me again.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I really hate I wasted all the money on the other antennas. This one is so great. Easy to set up and good reception.. I like the remote so you do not have to get up and adjust the antenna. You can do that from your chair.

this works amazingly in los angeles - gets many versions of many channels! really clearly - had bought the TERK which is a stupid design and didn't work in an urban setting!

The rabbit ears on this thing broke about 31 days after purchase. Parts are impossible to find. There has been NO support from the seller on this product.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Could not use this product. Nothing great about this product. Doesn't give greater information about "conditions" in which this product MIGHT function within. We felt for the price, this was a major "step-up" from the standard rabbit ears. But we found it was no different, maybe worse, as we didn't get one channel. I'm returning to the store where I picked up, asap.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This is my fourth antenna and this is the best one.
I just wanted a "standby" antenna for when bad weather drops my regular service I would be able to watch some local channels. In my location this antenna does not pickup all of the local stations but does pull in 3-6 channels so at least I can stay tuned into the weather situation.

one guest room in my house doesn't have cable and never picked up analog or digital signals very good with any other antenna. Now I get dozens of digital channel choices with this antenna...a great buy!!!!

Use on main TV, good reception

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Most importantly, by enlarge this antenna *works*. It pulls in the channels, especially those broadcast on UHF. Oh, and it has two coax ports in the back so you can send the signals to two devices (eg, a television and DVD recorder). And it looks decidedly funky.

The bad? The remote control is dinky and not well laid out. Worse, my universal remote doesn't work with it. But I only use the remote to fine tune reception on UHF channels. As for VHF, the supplied rabbit ears have a limited range of motion. It does the job for me, but barely.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I live in a elderly highrise apartment. Rooms have limited space. I did my research on this antenna before buying it and it works as discribed. However, the design is too bulky and I had to get a small table to place the antenna on as it was to big to place on top of my TV. It is easy to tip over if bumped into. The remote is a good idea, but I would not recommend this antenna for an elderly person with poor eyesight in regards to programing the antenna. For EX- When you press number 1 you also press number 2 at the same time. The keypad numbers are to tiny and close together. I would have rated this a 5 star had it not been for the bulkness of the antenna and use of the remote.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

wonderful product!! ! all I did was attach the wires and position the unit, then kick back and enjoy signals from different directions with the simple push of a preset button.

there is a little grinding noise to give audio indication the unit is revolving.

like a smart antenna with out the fancy expensive electronics.

a monkey could operate this product Thanks a zillion radio shack!

can't wait until the next generation version comes out

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Rabbit ears off a 22-year-old Sony were bringing in all my over-the-air TV signals including HDTV. But this set, once programmed, eliminated the need to get up and manually adjust those old rabbit ears. This purchase does what I bought it to do.

Had this unit one day and I can get better reception from a $10. unit from[...].Save your [$] and get cable or a different antenna.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Using this for a 16 year old TV. Easy to set up and understand. Receives so many channels that I cancelled cable. Paid for itself in no time.
A bit bulky and the lighted display could have more contrast. Will purchase a 2nd one for another TV.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I will never pay for cable TV and all their commercials -- I get my entertainment over-the-air for free. I live in Phoenix 19.7 miles from all relevant digital and analog transmitters. There are two small mountains in the way, which doesn't help. As of 4/09, most signals are in the blue or violet zones -- a few are in the red zone per [@]. On a compass, the transmitters are 178 degrees from magnetic north. I've tried several omni-directional antennas. They grab some channels, but rarely the weaker ones. And I'd spend 15 minutes trying to find just the right position to get a signal of any kind. It is so aggravating making sure that the coax is in this position and the loop was in that position. After reading up on the subject, I decided that a directional antenna was the way to go. Man was I right on this! I plugged in the Radio Shack 15-1892, found the best setting, and now I get every channel easily. And I don't need to get up all the time and fiddle with anything. I can just change channels and enjoy the show. Best of all, this antenna is multi-directional, so I can pinpoint other, more distance, transmitters and see if I can pull them in too -- all without getting up and moving the wires and the unit. If you live in a weak-signal area, don't waste your time and money on ommi-directional antennas, get a good one like the Radio Shack 15-1892.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Is easy to set up.
And does pick up most channels with a little work. You might have to just turn antenna direction with remote.
I get all but one channel.
Biggest problem was price, but it works better than what they suggested for 15 less.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Took no time to set up. Have all my channels stored. Co-workers just love it (I share my tv with 2 others). The remote needs alittle getting used to, it seems to be upside down, but no prob. The design makes it alittle hard to hide out of the way. It's quite large, but I would highly recommend this antenna.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

We are right under local antennas and this unit will not draw all signals and is fuzzy on those that it will pick up. Used on HDTV at first and still didn't pull all channels in. Moved to non HDTV with converter box and no better. If you are in my geographical position, try lots of antennas making sure you can return them if they won't work.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I bought this hoping to get reception of weaker stations, but it made no difference at all. I already have a TV antenna wall plug and switching to this antenna made no difference at all, so I returned it. It is rather large and takes up lots of space.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Sad...I thought it would help, but I was wrong! Easy Set up, bad reception, same as the old antenna it was replacing.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

The remote was DOA. There is a small flimsy connector for the the battery that didn't reach the battery.

Reception was very poor. The tuning was inconsistent. Setting it on setting 10 would work, then going back down to one and back up to 10 it not work anymore on 10. So its internal calibration must be screwed up. Its just not a good antenna. The simple unamplified rabbit ears work better. I'm returning it today.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

It may be a great performer, but the low area of our home did not receive a signal. We returned the unit and waiting for June when other signals will be more plentiful, or purchase an outdoor unit with a pole. The idea of the remote is nice, especially for a person with a disability. [...]

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I have an analog television set that I used with my cable television. The economic downturn caused me to reevaluate things. Spending $185 on cable seemed obscene. I redeemed my $40 government DTV converter box coupon and set the box up with this antenna. Great reception for the most part (some channels were even clearer than cable) but I have difficulty with PBS stations. The good news is that I can use this with a HDTV with a built-in digital tuner when I decide to buy one. I can not wait to the full digital conversion in June!

Best Indoor HD Antenna

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I watch a lot of TV so it is imperative that all the stations come in without distortion. I find even if I get the digital scrambling I can clear it by tweeking the gain.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

lost several channels when i bought this. and with only 12 directions and 3 amp settings there isnt much room for fine tuning. barely get one channel. not good for countryside 40 miles or more from TV towers

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

So far this antenna seems to work fine. When the transition in June is here, I am hoping the signals will be stronger. That will be so important.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

The remote is fine if you only have 1 of these antennas. We have 2 15 feet apart. Due to space limitations, each faces in a different direction. The remotes use RF, not infra-red and all use the same exact frequency. Each remote operates both antennas simultaneously. Now we keep both antennas off unless we want to re-direct one of them. Then we go up to that antenna, turn it on, get the remote, change the UHF orientation (that function can only be performed with the remote!), and physically turn off the antenna. Not fun. RadioShack should re-engineer the antennas to use infra-red remotes and also you should be able to change UHF orientation with a button on the antenna itself. Otherwise, this antenna performs excellently.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I picked this up last night and the first thing that hit me was how like the Enterprise it looked. It means little when it comes to performance, but it's cool nonetheless.

Set up was a breeze - the definition of plug-and-play.

The picture quality is great, even on previously unattainable stations. HD broadcasts are pin sharp.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Best Dtv antenna I've tried yet. The others were RCA and Philips. This Radio Shack antenna gives me good reception of VHF and UHF channels. The tower that is farthest away is 25 miles, the closest is 5 miles away. The only complaint I have is about the remote control. It needs to be reworked! If you have two of these antennas within 25 feet of each other, one remote control will adjust both antennas. Not good. I have one antenna in the living room and one in the bedroom. The remote control signal even shoots through walls! I hope my apartment neighbors don't get one of these, or we'll be constantly re-adjusting the antennas!!!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I originally hooked this antenna to my new hi-def television in the den. Set up was so easy that it actually took longer to take out of the box than to set it up. Auto-scan picked up 23 digital channels and 17 analog. My previous antenna got only half that amount! Outstanding reception in standard and hi-def. Colors are brilliant and images are razor sharp. Tried it on other TV's in my home with same results. I definitely give this antenna my highest recommendation!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Have recommended this antenna for many areas of about 50 miles give or take.So far 100% success.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I like that you can customize settings for a particular channel, but it also means you have to change the channel then change the antenna "channel." (I only do this if existing settings don't provide clear picture.)

Remote was ridiculously hard to open for battery insertion and you have to have it pointed in the exactly correct way for it to work.

I use it for over the air broadcasts.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I was fully expecting to need to install an outdoor antenna in the spring but decided to try this unit first. I connected it up along w/ a (Radio Shack) Digital Stream converter box in less than ten minutes. Living in a brick house and being surrounded by hills, I didn't expect too much. After the auto-scan, I was amazed to find that we received ALL of the digital channels available in the Pittsburgh area w/ the temporary exception of Channel 4 which will hopefully be corrected when they relocate their transmitter after the June 12th transition date. We're less than 5 miles from all but two of the local transmitters, one of them Channel 4, but they're spread out over a 135 degree beam. The programmable directional settings enabled us to achieve perfectly clear reception on all of these stations, better than Cable. We’ve been using it for the last six weeks and love it.

The one problem we encountered, though, had to do w/ cell phone interference. My wife and I have Motorola direct-connect phones on Nextel's iDEN network and when either phone is in use, the TV reception is either pixelized or knocked out altogether. This may simply be a function of the iDEN network however and since we still have a land line that we can use, it’s not a deal-breaker.

Overall, we're satisfied enough w/ this purchase that we're saying goodbye to Cable and I'm staying off of the roof!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

The setup out of the box was extremely easy. Within 10 minutes and without any fine tuning, I set my HDTV to automatic channel scan mode. I immediately received about 12 channels of which I retained 7 of the digital channels. The video and sound quality is excellent and beats my previous cable service. Today, I will try some channel specific setups to extend the channel directory.

This is a great product and well worth the price.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I used to get all the channels on my little old Radio-Shack indoor antenna. Now that I needed to change to digital, I thought I would invest in a top-of-the-line indoor antenna. I get ABS, NBC and Channel 11. I miss Channel 2 (CBS) and Channel 9 WGN. I live in Chicago - and these should be strong signals. The antenna tells me no- signal.

Also, I really don't understand the buttons. I read the instruction book - and that was very UNHELPFUL. ]

I am very disappointed.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Ended up buying and using this antenna after being disappointed with an 8 bay roof top UHF antenna purchase to which I even added an amplifier. So I purchased a second one of these as it vastly outperformed the outdoor antenna. I was shocked to see it outperform the roof top! Can't comment on longevity as it has only been a few days. So far, I am very pleased!

Bought a digital tv converter box and this antenna today. Had them both setup and working in 15 minutes. Excellent reception, and crisp HD picture as well. Highly recommend.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Does a pretty good job once you find the right location. I had it level on a cabinet. The signal would be interrupted when someone entered the room. The unit slipped off of the cabinet causing it to rest against the wall at an angle. This made the stations that I receive much better. I live 35-45 miles away from most of the stations.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

The antenna is simple to set up, but once it is, the instructions on its use are slim to none.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I am about 40-45 miles away from the broadcast stations. Live in an apartment on the second floor. Although this was better than the rabbit ears for the digital channels it still did not bring in all the stations. I could move it around the room and it would bring in some but not others. But did not find a location where all the channels would come in together. The location button was useful in finding the stations but still did not allow all the stations to come in when set in on location. May be good if stations are less than 20 miles away.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I have tried 4 different HDTV antennas. The first 3 worked well as far as picking up the signal. The issue with each one of them was that 5 out 7 channels would get a good signal. The other 2 would require me to make adjustments before I could watch the channels. So I would only watch them when I knew that I was going to watch a whole show that was at least an hour long. With this antenna I can watch any channel that I want because they are pre-programmed for the best signal. It is great.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I use it with my Vizio HDTV in the living room. Minor reception glitches due to large trucks in the area, but this is very rare for my area. Reception problems on some channels if I have a laptop on at the same time in the same room.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I got the "Enterprise" so that one of my TVs could still receive signal if my Dish Network goes on the blink as it sometimes does where I live. Together with the digital converter box, it is great. Used to get about 5 "air TV" channels on that analog TV and now get between 20 and 24 depending on weather conditions. You really do need to read the instructions carefully to initially set it up and not just wing it. Take a little time and you'll get it right. Patience is worth it here.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I'm about 25 miles out from the furthest station I want. This thing works great. I love my "UFO". My antenna has a remote! So American, it makes me proud :) I could have gotten similar results from an antenna that has a dial on it. But then I'd have to get up, and most of that type I found were very cheap feeling. It's a little noisy when it's turning inside the disc, but that only for a second. Great product if you can find them in the stores, they are selling fast. Might call before you go or order it online. The over the air HD is much better than cable, I have both. 2 thumbs up.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Product was a disappointment. It is too large to position near window for a try at decent reception. Always-on amplifier may be part of problem. Large rabbit ears portion makes placement very difficult and unattractive in any room. I was able to do better with old flimsy rabbit ears that came with old TV. Remote is so tiny you must hold with 1 hand and push buttons with the other

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I've tried several amplified antennas and took them all back. I ended up using an old RCA rabbit ears which I found worked better than any of those modern amplified antennas.

I kept looking; reading comments of various amplified antennas. I read one comment and this person added to his original comment and highly recommended the Radio Shack 15-1892.

I had gone to a Radio Shack and was not shown this antenna. I immediately went to Radio Shack website and read up on antenna and many of the comments. I went and bought it.

This antenna is everything it is suppose to be. On top of that programmable, when sufing the digital channels if one has no signal one puts that channel in the remote and the antenna adjust itself. For this unit the price is great.

So folks if you've been as disappointed with the other amplified antennas as I have go buy this antenna you'll not regret it.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Excellent for our living room - replacing cable all together and saving 1100/yr. HDTV quality is awesome and am very pleased - 19 channels of angel bliss! Granted, many are PBS and such but we still get all major ABC, NBC, FOX etc networks. Great picure and incredibly easy to set up. I didn't touch a thing other than plugging it in, changing it to channel 1, and set my TV to autoscan (note, at night works best), and I was set. Additionally, I'm getting channels from networks 100+ miles away! Would recommend to all looking for saving some cash and making the change - good-bye analog!

Unworthy as a Radio Shack product.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I originally purchased a comparable antenna from another competitor (same price). The initial buy still caused my HDTV to freeze up, lousy reception, no better than my old rabbit-ears! I returned that and tried this unit. It is wonderful. You can adjust and set the very best setting on each channel. Even the microwave, which used to ALWAYS interfere with the television does not cause any flicker or freeze once you find the optimal setting for that channel. Picture is as good as cable or satellite dish!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

My hope is that this would bring in better reception than my 10 yo Radioshack 19.95 rabbit ears. Unfortunately, after 90 minutes of tweaking, moving and adjusting, I discovered the "power meter" scores on my digital converter measured 25% higher scores with my old antennae than this [...] space age model. I also lost a couple of digital stations with the new model. Now, it is just a dust collector.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Bought this gizmo, brought it home, works as advertised but not worth the [$] after tax. Picked up about a dozen channels of which 3 I would actually watch; the rest were in Spanish or fuzzy. NOT a good alternative to cable if you really want to get good use out of your $3000 Plasma TV. I imagine that this thing would work better, if not pretty well if you lived somewhere that you could mount it higher. However, I live in a townhouse so it is basically useless. Returning it today!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

The reviews are correct: This antenna is absolutely fantastic. Without climbing on the roof, you too can have a high quality indoor HDTV antenna.Although any UHF antenna will work this does it with flair.While attractive it is bulky but that's why it works!Multiple memories allow for positioning programming with a single touch. Even for fine tuning ALL the positions can be remembered.No more adjusting the antenna, it can be done remotely.(it's an indoor rotor)Multiple gain levels to boost/cut signal.So easy to use and setup I just glanced at the instructions, which is just a one page sheet.The included remote is the RF type so line of sight pointing is not needed.My only con is the display backlight can't be turned off, so it's always on, but no biggie.I've been using this device for over a year in my basement, and it works just great!Buy it when it goes on sale, like I did for [$] and you have a smashing value!IMHO a well designed and engineered product. Keep up the good work Radio Shack!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I've had this antenna about two months now and I like it a lot. It was easy to set up and as an amplified, powered unit, you use the included remote to select the best reception for a particular station. The included manual was simple to follow. And it's pulled in some stations that were difficult to get before.The unit has a digital readout and buttons on the base that reflects the remote functions. So if you lose the remote, or the battery dies, you can still adjust the antenna.Like numbers on a clock, there are twelve positions to adjust the antenna to. The moving part(s) is/are all internal. You just plug it in, hook it up and press the buttons. A nice touch is that, once you find the best position for a particular station, you can store it. Let's say for channel 25 position 12 is best. I just store it as 25, the same as the TV. When I select 25 on the TV, I push 25 on the antenna remote and it knows to go to position 12. A tip for getting the best reception is to elevate the unit a little. Mine sits to the side and toward the back of the TV on the same table. I found setting the unit on a knick-knack box about 6 inches high has helped. Another tip is to use the signal strength indicator on your digital tuner/converter if you have one. My antenna is connected to a Digital Stream digital to analog converter. I use the converter's signal strength indicator on screen to fine tune the antenna position. This way is much easier than guessing what's the best position.My only complaints are the aesthetics... it's a little bulky, it's shaped like a UFO and only comes in black... and the remote. The remote is rather small (easy to lose, buttons close together for big fingers), nearly square and black with no immediately clear way to tell if your holding it toward you or the antenna. And so far I can't get a universal remote to learn its functions. I've tried three.So, if you don't mind the black UFO shape and having to use two remotes when you watch TV, I'd say it's a very good product. Seems a bit pricey [$] though... buy it on sale.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I was turned on to this product by an on-line review for a different antenna. This antenna is simple to set up; plug it in to your TV and into the power supply and then set it for maximum amplification and then let your TV run through its automatic station-finding routime. I went from 17 local off-air stations near downtown Seattle to 30 stations! Then you can spend a few minutes tuning in each station you recieive and storing the direction and amplification level that gives the strongest signal in the antenna's memory. Once that is done, you simply enter the station you seek ussing the antenna's remote control and the antenna re-positions itself to the directional setting you stored and changes the amplification setting automatically. The directional setting and amp factor of the antenna can make the difference between snow and a clean clear image. The motor that rotates the antenna is noisy, but only when it is moving, so it is not an issue most of the time. Possibly a helical gear set on the next iteration of this antenna would solve that problem.

I have worked Retail many years and Know people who have trouble with this product are not reading the instructions or can't comprehend.....I have had friends over to watch the recent Playoff games and they all said I get better reception than their cable providers.....If you want to truly dial in your DTV STATIONS I SUGGEST you do your set up Over night when the sun is down,This will help with dialing in the strongest signal.

I ordered this to get OTA HDTV channels when my cable might be out. I set this antenna up on my entertainment center bridge in my large living room. I was at first skeptical as I live 20+ miles from my stations. To my surprise, after connecting and doing a channel scan, I was getting excellent reception on the NBC, Channel 10.1 HDTV from Roanoke, Va. That station is a full 80 miles from my house. Local stations also come in with excellent picture quality. And due to geographical locations, one station is west, the other three are south. The auto store and tune feature made reception from those station a breeze. If I ever want to give up my cable and save mone, I have the antenna that will pull in the OTA stations.

I HAD BEEN FRUSTRATED WITH TRYING OUT ANTENNAS THAT WERE GREAT FOR SOME STATIONS, AND LITTLE OR NO SIGNAL FROM OTHERS. I FINNALY SPENT THE [$] TO PURCHASE WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD SOLVE MY POOR/ NO RECEPTION PROBLEMS. AT FIRST, AFTER I SET THIS ONE UP, AND PROGRAMMED ALL THE STATIONS, ALL THE STATIONS CAME IN GOOD. BUT I THEN FOUND OUT AS WEATHER CHANGED SO DID THE SIGNAL, AND THE WEAKER STATIONS NOW WOULD NOT COME IN-AT ALL, NO MATTER HOW I ADJUSTED IT. SO I USED A $10 DIPOLE ANTENNA THAT I HAD IN MY BASEMENT AS A TEMP ANTENNA WHILE I RETURNED THE [$] ANTERNNA, AND THE $10 ONE WORKS BETTER THAN ANY AMPLIFIED ANTENNA I'VE TRIED. ONCE IT IS SET NO ADJUSTMENT NEEDED AND IT GIVES ME A VERY STRONG SIGNAL. SO FOR ME, THE $10 DIPOLE ANTENNA WORKED MUCH BETTER. DONT BE FOOLED BY THE PRICE.

not impressed...live on a hill, and i get better reception with reg rabbit ears...got 6 channels with rabbit ears, 1 with this antenna...also have a tv station about 8 miles away, and don't receive the signal at all with this antenna.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

The amplification on this antenna is helpful, but it's a directional antenna that offers no indication of what direction it's pointing. The remote control lets you change through 12 different positions, but you can't tell what those positions are. The whole point of a directional antenna is to point it at the signal source. This unit doesn't help you do that. The directions don't say, either.

I had regular rabbit ears and got this to improve my reception.
after the setup, I found that the rabbit ears were better.

i bought this a few weeks ago and got 5 analog and 3 digital channels, it was ok but it was extremely large and i remembered that the analog was going to be gone in a few weeks leaving me with 3 channels. and the video was extremly jumpy/pixalated, so i returned it. Just this weekend i found a video on youtube on how to make your own and i made it. I now get 5 digital channels with absouloutly no pixalating/jumping. it required about $10 dollars to make and works better than this. and it was really was easy to make. a couple coat hangers,bolts, and a uhf/vhf transformer that i bought from radioshack

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I purchased this antenna last Saturday after reading the reviews and comparing 4 more brands online. The antenna delivers the goods as advertised - the device allowed me to view 16 additional channels right away- from 6 to 22 HDTV channels and all look great - minor adjustment needed to see abc but picture quality is awesome. The remote control works great and it is very simple to program settings. I strongly recommend this product.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

At first, I thought I had a defective unit, got it before work, and rushed to try to get it working, but missed one step on my Dish Network receiver and the antenna. Also, had tried it on my Plasma with an HDTV tuner, but it didn't seem to find any channels, must have just missed a step in my rush.

Finally, had got it working through my Dish Network receiver. The manual kind of tells you, but doesn't come right out and say:

"Channels 2-13 will require you to tune it on the antenna, plus, each channel may require you to choose a different antenna direction."

I purchased this for the sole reason that Dish Network and ABC are having contract issues, which means, no local news or ABC shows.

Now, I get my local news and all ABC shows in stunning HD for FREE!

With this transition, I may drop my service and just go OTA broadcasts, I have movies, I usually get my favorite TV shows on DVD or Blu-Ray, which just leaves local weather and news that I NEED ;)

Please, take this advice from all of us Radio Shack ;) Recreate the manual with ALL the details.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I almost didn't try this because other reviewers complained about difficult setup. Setup was a little tedious, but very straightforward. It helped that my digital converter box has a signal strength monitor feature - this made it very simple to discover the best settings. Reception is better for DTV than previous antenna I had been using.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I bought two from radioshack because this work really well. Very easy to setup. The bad thing is the two units are close together so when I use remote to control one, the other will move as well. I don't know how to change the remote channel

I HAD A OLD INDOOR ANTENNA THAT WOULD ONLY PICK ONE STATION IN DIGITAL THIS MODEL PICKED UP ALL MY LOCAL BROADCAST WITH NO FINE TUNING.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I do not need cable or satellite service for HDTV. I bought this antenna two weeks ago to replace our old Radio Shack "powered rabbit ears". Using it with a new 50-inch Samsung HDTV plasma TV. Picture is terrific. I liked the ability to rotate the internal antenna to the strongest signal, set the gain, and then store the setting for each channel with the remote. I receive both Portland and Salem channels.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Reception is much improved over other antennas. The programmable features really help to maximize performance with some hard-to-get stations.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I have an analogue TV and a converter box. The antenna picks up all the major channels and alot that I didn't know existed. One tip that made a difference for me is that you have to use the converter box menu to initialize the box with the new antenna. After I did that, it worked perfectly.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I bought this product based on reviews I read here, however keep in mind when you are using an indoor antenna that room environment and your physical address in respect to the transmitters in your area can affect performance. I set this one up in a family room of a house located 1 block east of the Long Beach airport in California however I had a direct line of sight unobstructed view to the transmitter which is located on Mt Wilson. I used the default factory settings as shipped, connected it to an HP Digital LCD TV w/ATSC tuner which supports up to 69 channels within the TV itself. I was able to receive 90% of those with perfect crisp HD Digital quality. The analog channels were not clear or not even receivable, which is no biggy because 99% of the analogs had a digital counterpart anyhows. It was a few of the spanish/korean stations that did not have the Digital channel. I am not spanish or korean so that did not bother me. Total setup time was about as long as it took to plug the unit it and turn it on (5min). TV/Antenna location, the TV was setup in a floor to ceiling wall unit, I placed the antenna on top of the wall unit and it still had about 6" of space between the top of the antenna and ceiling. This is really a no brainer to setup just be sure you consider the geographical area and room location before buying.If you have any Mountains, Hills, Airports, big high rises, etc etc between you and the transmitter you prolly will not get the results I got. This system is cost effective in that you pay a one time [$] for a good array of channels. It is not for that TV Hungry User that needs 1000 channels.. Overall its a good product if you consider the above.[@]

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

We live in rural Michigan--46 miles from the nearest television station. Before purchasing this antenna, I was trying to get digital reception with a converter box, my 7 year old analog set, and a dipole (rabbit ears) antenna with a UHF loop. One station sometimes came in. So, my expectations for the new antenna were pretty low...I was hoping for maybe better reception of that station.

When I installed this antenna last night (and really, if you read the two page insert, it's pretty much plug-and-play) the reception blew my mind. Not only did I get that one station crystal clear on my old t.v., I also received 21 others beautifully--some from as far as 60 miles away. The weather wasn't even pleasant (it was snowy and windy out)--and the reception was not affected in the least.

I would definitely buy this one again, and recommend it to anyone.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

If you purchase an additional 25 feet of shielded coax cable you will be better able to position this antenna for maximum effectiveness. I am 50 miles from Houston Texas and can get a strong digital signal on all four major channels NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I have read all of the negative reviews here of this antenna. Having just re-located one of our two Olevia screens to another room, we wanted to have the option of OTA HD in that room (we currently have a non-HD box there). I had purchased a Terk HDTVa a few years ago and was constantly frustrated by its design -- the base was always toppling over and you couldn't adjust the rabbit ears beyond a certain angle. Reception on the Terk was OK, but you had to get up and re-adjust the darn thing.Which is where this RS miracle comes in. I don't understand why other companies have not adopted this design. It eliminates the need to manually re-adjust the antenna position. Although in some areas you may have to adjust the rabbit ears slightly, the ability to use a remote to lock in to the optimum setting for each channel changes the whole picture (literally). Very simple to set up -- just scan your channels, then go through each one, adjusting for best direction and amplification on the RS antenna. Even if day to night reception conditions force an adjustment of any of your channels, you can easily do that and re-memorize the setting for the specific channel.I don't usually praise RS products, but this is a winner -- I have seen some of these appear on [...]if you don't want to drop the [$] at your local RS for it.My only concern would be the sturdiness of the antenna motor over time. And the RS antenna suffers from the same sort of limited rabbit ear movement that the Terk does. However, this is outweighed IMHO by the tremendously-helpful auto antenna adjust.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I love this thing. I just bought it, hooked it up, turned it one, and it worked. I didn't have to change anything on it. I do not think that the instructions were difficult at all. They explain how to hook it up very simply. I now can watch channels that I couldn't with the cheaper Phillips brand antenna.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

[$] get a cheaper one, it will probably work just as bad. im taking mine back and getting cable.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

If you buy 2, the remotes control both so if someones watching another tv with this antenna and hits remote, it moves your settings as well! Antennas reception is great but remotes need to be on different channels!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Take the time to find the right location, tune to each channel, and you will have a fantastic antenna. In my application - I need to keep it near the ceiling for best results. Better picture than cable can provide.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

The antenna we got was slow to respond to the remote, and setup without a manual is possible, but not obvious. After finally setting all channels but one, the last "bad" channel came in great when I switched form the internal to the external signal. There is already an HDTV converter on this television, and it appears that everything except channel 26 (in the Houston area) comes in well. It's ridiculous you can only download a spanish manual from this website!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Couldn't expect more from an indoor antenna. Great!! Get 25 over the air channels when used in combination with my Zenith converter. Parked the antenna upstairs next to a window. Set up took a while. Radioshack should look into rewriting the instruction manual. Took me, through trial and error, about 2 weeks to realize the real power of the unit. Highly recommend.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

We get 9 very good clear channels, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, KVUE weather, PBS(KLRU lots of kid stuff), PBS (creat it channel, sorta like HGTV), KEYER (oldie shows sorta like nick at night), and CW (more modern shows).

Took off flimsy rabbit ears that could get 2 HD channels but barely. I figured if these rabbit ears can get a choppy picture then a good Uhf antenna will be great...Well guess what. No matter how i tuned it..I never got even a spec of a picture. I put the rabbit ears back on and got my picture back

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I intended to use this indoor antenna as the outdoor roof antenna wasn't attended to by my landlord and he wouldn't allow me to put my own up. I tried cheaper, dipole, indoor antennas and got either no or a picture with no sound. After hooking this new antenna up, the picture isn't much better than the cheaper dipole antennas I tried. More than half of the channels have no sound or no picture, so this antenna is worthless. Also, the remote control is too small and I already misplaced it after i hours' use. Now, I can't watch TV at all. The digital channels were even worse than the analog channels and the signal strength meter showed below "0". I guess that I will be forced to get cable. This must be what the cable companies dream about!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I just purchased an HDTV and wanted to get some HD channels along with all the digital programming. I bought this antenna last night. Even with heavy snow fall I was able to get a better picture than with the other antenna's i had been experimenting with. I now get 6 HD channels with great picture quality. Love how it remembers the settings for each channel as well.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Works very well even on low gain. Easy to set channel memory, which makes viewing, carefree! From what I've heard about other antennas, this one's excellent as well as a good value. For myself, I'm not going to need another antenna- THIS IS "IT!"

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

very easy to use.this was my 3rd antenna in a week and if it did not work i was going to get cable.I hooked it up and got 7 more channels than before .It works great wish i had bought it 1st to save me all that time and money.It is well worth the money

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

After trying other antennas found out this one is worth the money because it provides better reception. Other people mentioned this ant. is flimsy...it sits sationary so who cares, it works. Also mentioned was the "unattractive design"; well it looks better then the standard rabbit ears and provides great signal. Personally the designed isn't an issue. Set up was simple. My goal was to pick up signal to be able to watch TV without Sattelite or Cable, Accomplished!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

OK- how hard is it to put your TV to AIR and scan for channels? You have to scan for channels when set for CABLE. Your TV has to know / learn the channels. Is that a problem with the antenna? Scanning for channels can take time as it has to scan thru your tuners capabilities. (ie channel 0 - whatever)Bad reception,,,,,Has to do with a number of things. (not necessarily the antenna)Distance from station.Power/signal quality from station.Your environment, trees/obstructions/antenna location.This is a good site for info[@]have analog cable and use this antenna with a switch box to get local digital and HD content. This antenna ROCKS!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

i have this product hooked up in my upstairs bedroom, on top of my entertainment center, just purchased last night, and it is just running analog signals at the moment, i am able to pick up just about all of the core channels, that our dtv-converted tv can downstairs, operating off of a large outdoor rotary antenna, and even some channels, that the rotary antenna cannot pickup, so i'm curious to see how much it will be able to pick up, once i hook it up to a converter box. i also plan on moving it to my nightstand, which is located right under my bedroom window, in hopes that may boost signal just a tad more. i am slightly a tech junky, so i didn't have much confusion setting it up, and fine tuning each channel, and i would definately recommend it, as i have had no issues at this point, seems to be a great product.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Purchased this product as it was the last one left in town as our cable provider was not broadcasting CBS, hence no pro-football broadcast of our local team. It took about 45 minutes to get it set up because we had to do a manual scan of TV stations on the TV for the antenna to recognize the digital channels. Nowhere in the directions that came with the antenna did it mention this needed to be done. While I would say I am a casual user, my boyfriend would be considered an enthusiast and betwen the two of us it took longer than it should have to set this up. But once we got it set up, the picture looks about 95% as good as the picture we had with the cable provider so we are satisfied.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I live in town, and I've tried about three other antennas before I bought this one. I've had problems keeping a signal with the other ones that I've tried, interference, etc... I brought this one home, it took me about an hour and a half to get it fine tuned, but now I get 20 local channels, and I have not had to re-tune any settings for about 2 weeks now. I am pleasantly surprised so far.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This product does not work at all. I hooked it up, and was able to receive only one station, in the middle of South Florida. Very poor, and quite useless. I would strongly recommned bunny ears or something else.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Let's be honest, this thing look like a spaceship, but after trying 8 other antennas, this was the only one that picked up all 5 networks HD Signal in my area. The fine tune-ing remote is great because you don't have to get up to move it for those pesky channels and you can store the setting in the units memory. Hit a button and it moves.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I have this antenna connected to a digital receiver in my living room on the first floor of a two family house, the channel quality is excellent and compatible with my satellite service- will be ending that soon. The UHF fine tuning and gain is excellent. I have two other indoor amplified antennas (RCA (ant1250) and Radio Shack (ATV1000)) their signal strength was outperformed by this one on ALL the channels that I've receive.

The remote control does not compromise the etiquette of the couch potato- when you change channels on the Tv remove you can also adjust your pre-programmed antenna settings accordingly.

I live in a heavily populated urban environment and can receive signals from up to 8 miles away- currently that is 20 channels and after 2/17/09, I can expect 3 more stations- according to antennaweb(a nifty website). If I want more channels (about 28 in total) I would have to get an outdoor medium to large multidirectional antenna - after buying this antenna I am not sure it is worth it but I might do it in the future.

There is limited movement with the metal telescopic antennas in the rear but I believe it is the UHF "enterprise" receptor that is most important.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Do not spend your money on this. I get more channels with better reception from the one I spent [$] on. I took it back to the store.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I have a digital converter box on the downstairs TV and an upstairs bedrroom TV. I live in a residential area (in NJ) with a lot of trees, 7-13 miles from all signal sources. Getting a good signal downstairs is a pain. It takes a good 5 minutes to get CBS(channel 2) or NBC (ch. 4) if I get it at all. Can't get ABC (ch. 7) Upstairs is better, but still sporatic 25% of the time.
Bought this amplified antenna hoping it would improve my reception. For 3 days I stored settings that had to be changed the next day and moved the antenna all over the place and got nowhere.
I took it upstairs to the bedroom TV. It, of course, worked better since the reception is better. It was fine in the daytime, but not so good at night. I still had to spend a lot of time pushing the remote, occasionally getting out of bed to move the unit around. The stored settings only served as a starting place for trying to find the signal. (That's a lot of work, for when you're tired, and just want to watch a little late night TV before going to sleep.) After a week, I realized that this antenna wasn't doing much more than my old rabbit ears. Returned it and used the money for something else. Perhaps when the change over occurs the signal will be better--if not, I'll break down and get cable.

Picks up all DTV stations in Columbia MO area including KMOS in Warrensburg which I have struggled to pick up consistently with previous antennas. I love the remote control and channel memory feature; no more having to get up and fight with the antenna every time I change channel. Very much worth the[$].

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I live in a very old stone building with an iron-girder frame, so reception really is quite terrible on its own. That means I need a product such as this to pull in digital TV, for which you need passably good reception. I've heard the HDTV indoor/outdoor antenna could be used as an indoor only unit, but I believe in the right tool for the right job, so I bought the one designed for indoor use, namely this one.

Most digital stations are on the UHF range, and it's only the UHF antenna on this device which appears to be powered for I suspect that very reason. I suspect the VHF rabbit-ears are not powered, and if you live in a problem-reception area or building, the rabbit-ears won't do very much for those digital stations broadcasting on VHF. I don't why anyone would do that as digital works better on UHF, which is why most digital channels are in that range.

I tried using the putting a sheet of aluminum foil underneath the unit to improve reception on the more difficult channels, but that didn't work very well for me. What did work well was putting the unit on a 3+ inch-phonebook on top of my video-recorder/player on top of my TV, which is in turn on top of a short makeshift TV stand. I've only had the unit for a few hours, so I hope this solution for the difficult channels works consistently. The only channels I can't get are two broadcast by the fundamentalist Christian station (I don't much care for that sort of thing anyway) and the ones broadcast by Milwaukee public television.

The channels I get are only in the yellow-zone, even with the phone-book trick, so that's why I only gave four stars. Still pretty good for a jailhouse of a building (not literally!) such as this one. You need to watch yourself when you are near it if it is on your TV set because you might knock it over due to the big, wide saucer on the top. And this may be just me, but the gain-boost option doesn't seem to help very much. I get the same results on 1, 2, or 3. And remember to go into your TV's "set-up" menu and be sure to set the "antenna" option to the "TV" alternative as opposed to the "cable" alternative. This might be a problem if your TV was bought second-hand as was mine.

All in all, I'm impressed.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

This is by far the best indoor antenna I've ever used. I've tried about five antennas to get good HDTV reception, which has proven to be harder than I thought, considering I live in Arlington, TX, only eight miles away from the transmitting towers in Cedar Hill.

The electronically controlled fine tuning is really what separates this antenna apart from its competition. My only wish is that the TV could somehow know to tune the antenna depending on the channel you change your tuner to, but that's no fault of the antenna.

The only thing preventing me from giving this a five star rating is the fact that if you walk in front of the antenna, the UHF channels will go out temporarily when the signal is blocked. My old antennas didn't do this, but they were also polarized differently than this one. This one lays the UHF antenna portion flat, thus giving it the Star Trek-esque look. Some people comment that it looks weird, or bad, but I disagree. I think it complements the technology it's intended for nicely, with its futuristic look. I'm sure that Star Trek fans no doubt would absolutely love this antenna, and there's plenty of them out there.

I think I may have to play with the tuning some more, but overall this is a GREAT antenna for the price. Definitely consider this before buying a more expensive Terk antenna.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I've got this antenna just west of Charlotte, NC about less than ten miles from the 2,000ft DTV towers (which are north of my house). This antenna, while big, delivers the HD. It can be adjusted with the pre-programed channel settings, but I get most of my HDTV with just one setting. NOTE: WTVI is on DTV 11, a VHF channel. This antenna does not pull that channel in well (though I suspect most antenna of this type would have problems with VHF).

I also split the signal into 3: 1 for the HDTV, and 2 for DVD recorders. The split had no affect on the quality of the signal. Great product.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I tried a lot of antennas but none are as versatile as this one. I was skeptical at first,
After the first one I purchased was D.O.A..After setting channels every available channel was perfect. I hope to get more channels in February. I currently get 24 channels.I have owned this antenna for 2 days and hope it holds up.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I absolutely love this antenna. As soon as I set it up it got me 46 HD channels (well, more like 35 if you exclude the spanish channels and a few repeats). Well worth the money!

This is by far the best unit I've tried. I will get another for my bedroom. No signal loss and no image pixeling. Keep the antenna short for the HD signals.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

After trying the apartment roof antenna (1 channel), passive rabbit ears (4 channels and signal wobble), the Radio Shack 15-1878 (8 channels but signal would not stay focused and heck to try and tune), i bought this one - right out of the box at setting 0 12 3 - it brought in 23 channels with excellent signal strength...both HDTV (with Dolby Digital signal) and regular broadcast - 4 PBS stations - trick is NOT to extend the rabbit ears but keep them short....

Very Pleased and Very Simple to Operate....i now just leave at that setting 0 12 3 and you don't need to be a technie to work.....

Only bad was when I turned it on at first it was set at 26 4 3 - which means that someone else had used it, perhaps bought and returned or the store had used, since the default setting is 0 5 3 - but that is easy to reset it to that and then program yourself....but since it is working and is far superior then any other antenna tried....i am very satisfied.....i had been suffering with only 6 channels with the apartment roof antenna so this is a vast improvement....picture is crystal clear even on a 3 year old JVC Analog Set...

Using the Apex DT250 box and S-video setting..works great as a pair..

And, of course, if you are a Star Trek fan....

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

I live in the countryside; no cable, old house. No point in getting dish unless there is wireless TV. Wiring an old house is virtually impossible. I'm too old for that.

Who's got wireless TV transmitter/receivers?

With a set-top HDTV box, this is the indoor amplified antenna you need. I knew it was possible and this is it. Maybe there's better but I'd have to see it (and afford it.)

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Purchased on July 15, 2008 from the store on University Drive in Denton, TX. [...]Discovered this unit would probably work great in a large city such as Dallas or Fort Worth. However, here in Denton, TX it does not have enough receive capability to have reliable connection to the commercial broadcast stations in Dallas and Fort Worth. Brief signals were available but, nothing great. Device requires setting of channel and directions, constant adjustment of rabbit ears, and then rotation of disc antenna. Rather than operating off of electrically switched dipoles this uses an actual rotator. Difficult to setup due to having to set the antenna, then allow DTV receiver to see signal. Would not recommend this product to anyone.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

Bought a digital converter box. Most of the stations with my old antenna were distorted (talk about tripping!). Figured I needed a new antenna. Picked this out because it had a remote, as it would go on the top of my entertainment unit. I am vertically challenged myself, so getting on a stool all the time to change the direction/strength of the old antenna was not something I wanted to keep doing.

Installed this, and, whoopee! most of the stations were crystal clear, except for Ch. 2. Experimented with some other connections (the TV/digital converter box is also hooked up to my DVD-R and home theater system), and, finally, it all worked, including receiving Ch. 2. I now get 28 channels, including the sub-stations, and each one is clear as a bell. There are some very brief distortions, but spaced far apart.

As for the antenna itself, it is large, and does take up space, but as it's on top of the entertainment unit, that's OK. The set up was easy. Using the remote control to set up the different channels to store the direction and strength was simple by just following the directions. Had to extend the antennas to bring in Ch. 2, but, according to directions, that's par for the course. Would recommend. (In fact, I'm going to take it to some friends who just bought an HDTV. Their current antenna [the third], still doesn't bring in Ch. 2. We'll see if this works!)

I first tried our old rabbit ears when I made the swtich to DTV. We had a non-directional amplified VHF/UHF radioshack antenna that worked great for years for analog TV signals. But we couldn't pick up ABC7 in DTV. So I tried the direcional amplified TERK HDTVa and it too couldn't pick up ABC7. (We're about 40 miles from the transmitter). But I've had good luck with Radioshack in the past and once again I am very very pleased! This antenna brings in over 60 DTV channels crystal clear including ABC7! I highly recommend this if you're having issues picking up difficult signals.

Went from 6 fair-to-poor analog stations using rabbit ears to 15 HDTV with this antenna and a digital converter.

I read other reviews and thought I would give this a try. While it was very easy to set up and it did work, it didnt work any better than the other antenna that I paid ALOT less $ for. There is no reason to spend $50 for the same channels that I received using an antenna that I paid around $20 for. I ended up taking this back.

It may look like the starship Enterprise, but it's really not that big. Most importantly, it works. We live in a basement apartment and have tried NUMEROUS antennas and amplifiers, including the lauded Silver Sensor. This is the one that worked the best.

Using the included short cable, we placed the unit near our set top box and pulled in 7 out of 11 local channels with occasional stutters. Bought a 25-foot length of quad shield coax and moved the antenna closer to the window. Now getting 11 out of 11 channels with NO stuttering.

Why would you want an antenna that you need to change the channel everytime you change your TV channel. I work in the TV service field. This is junk

This antenna replaced an old set of RCA rabbit ears. I recently bought a new HDTV. My rabbit ears just couldn't pick some stations up. They also needed constant adjustment. I live in Boston, 5-10 miles from most towers. However, my bedroom faces an alley blocked by another apartment building.

Last week I picked up the "Enterprise" antenna. It does work as advertised. Like my rabbit ears, I placed the new antenna by the window connected using 10 ft of coax cable. The amplification does help. Having compared the Radio Shack antenna to the old ears, I can say that it's far better. The Remote is also helpful. No need to get out of bed to change the direction for those few channels that need a different adjustment.

This piece really really sucks!! The receptions of the analog signal is very poor, even my 8 years old TV antenna works better than this junk. The digital signal is kind of OK. Most of the channel's signal is at good or excellent, but CH 5, 9 and 18's signal is not stable, specially when every time a car comes by or the wind is strong, then the signal will become weak, no signal or the picture got frozen. So if you really wants good quality digital TV, don't buy this piece of useless expensive junk!!

I cannot seem to get any satisfaction from Radio Wack. Maybe a couple of fresh batteries which will drain. Now it ceases to function.

This product is a real bonafide ripoff! One Channel comes in clear, Ch. 5, Ch. 2, not at all, all the rest, I get picture breakup and no sound, or fractured sound. My rabbit ears works just as well.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

OK So it looks like a frisbee or something out of the Jetsons but it WORKS. Actually it looks cool on the top of my entertainment ceter shelf. Very hi-tech.
First off I got it because I switched to digital TV via DTV converter boxes. The antenna will give a good picture for all stations even before you preset fine tuning. With a little time and patience you can tune each of your favs by rotation and choise in gain. (the disc on top does not rotate, only the device inside. motor noise is pretty quiet) Digital is very picky and signal loss is common, so you can adjust signal via rotation of the antenna then lock it into memory for each channel. This only applies to people who dont have cable (me).
P.S. dont drop the remote because it may dis-lodge the button battery. If this happens, open the back and put the battery back in. It will work fine again. and last, If you decide to only view digital pictures you wont have to extent the "rabbit ears" (for analog VHF/UHF) this will make the antenna more compact.

Bought this antenna to replace the $20 one my 2 year-old borke one of the elements off of. Problem is, the broken one STILL WORKS BETTER!!!
And it's not a matter of changing the direction. No station comes in at better than 20% strength on a good day. I recommend the $20 radioshack version.

i Recommend this to anyone it works great i advise anyone who is looking for a attenna to buy this one it works great.. i enjoy tv better now that i got this attenna thank you radio shack for this product :-)

The preamplifier overloads. Only reception was at level 1. a piece of wire did as well. I am less than a mile from a cluster of TV stations. I wanted to receive stations that were not in that cluster but less than 20 miles away. This antenna could not do that.
It should be good for the rural areas not for the cities.

I have only had this product since Sunday, but I find as a backup for cable and to receive local broadcasts that are not carried by my cable provider, this HDTV indoor antenna in the long run should pay for itself. In fact if I ever got rid of cable, I'd buy a second one for my other HDTV. I live in Brooklyn, NY and there are a lot of apartment buildings around me as well as the fact that most landlords will not allow a renter to put an outdoor antenna on their roof. This solves that problem and even negates having to ask. Yes at the time of this writing, I have only had it for less than a week, but so far, I am very happy.

I tested this antenna, comparing it to my old analog antenna (RS 15-1868) and a portable stick antenna which came with a USB receiver for computer. Using the signal strength meter in my Digital Stream DTX-9900, I recorded for each antenna and each of 13 stations (Los Angeles market, from Pasadena, looking at the x.1 channel for each station). To summarize my findings: With the 15-1868, signal strength (s.s.) ranged from 40 to 90. With the stick, s.s. ranged from 20 to 91. Using the new antenna out-of-the-box and with no adjustments, the s.s. range was 13 to 90; adjusting for the best on each station, the s.s. range was 40 to 91.

KLCS has always been a weak station for us (analog), and even with the new antenna (and digital) we still have to work to receive it: 40 on the old antenna, 20 on the stick, 13 adjusted up to 40 on the new antenna. KCAL was 90 with the old and still 90 with the new. Generally, the biggest improvement came with the weaker stations (49-56 improved to 52-80).

All stations except KLCS were received satisfactorily with little or no adjustment, and flipping stations seldom requires adjusting the antenna. (KDOC, KOCE, and KVCR, all 40-50 miles away, come in at 75 to 90. Impressive.)

Note: Generally, the amplification does more harm than good; after testing, I stayed with level 1.

Note: If you're aching to write a bad review, extend the "rabbit ears"; extended they cut DTV reception in half. I've put them back into the little rubber retainer they came in.

There are only 4 locals here, but I get them all, and can now watch the Penguins and Steelers in HD all year long! It takes some time to figure out, but after that it's MONEY!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

After a year of heavy use this antenna still out performs and is superior to everything else I've tried. I'm always a tough sell and I research everything nearly to death. I'm not a regular RS customer, either. I must have returned a dozen antennas before I found this beauty. Most were more expensive and no better than bare wire or rabbit ears. I started to think that I'd have to pay a cable bill or install an external antenna just to get local channels. Previously, I barely got the 3 local analog channels. With this antenna I'm getting 43 HD, digital and analog channels including a 24 hr weather channel! Several are absolutely stunning rivaling every program on cable or satellite I've ever seen. Period! The remote is ideally sized and controls the motorized, saucer shaped antenna. If lost, buttons on the unit will control its many functions. The large LED display is lighted and visible from 10 ft away. I use a station locator map that I found Googling my zip code to precisely program the unit. Go to whereishd dot com to find you local stations and channels. With a little patience you can bring in many distant and hard to find stations. Terrain matters as well but if this antenna doesn't work then I doubt that any will.

This unit is okay it just has a problem with pulling in a constant signal it can work perfect for hours then it stops pulling in signal as well. It is annoying when watching a sporting event and in mid play the picture gets all pixelated. Go for the terk

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

It didn't make reception better. The remote is so small it is now missing. How do you tune to the preset channels if you can't find the remote. It's big and ugly. And you still have to adjust the rabbit ears for different situations. Not worth the hassle.

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

The more I worked, the worse it got. I had to sit back and figure out what I wanted. Then it started coming in big time. I did have to find some instructions on the computer. I differ from the other guys. I like it's looks. I just have to watch the granddaughter doesn't hit it with a ball. I have it in the basement recreation room where she plays. I think it's going to work out fine!

Comments about RadioShack Indoor VHF/UHF/HDTV Antenna with RF Remote Control:

after you get over how big this is, it provides a decent signal in Glendale, CA. I live in a condo surrounded by other apartments. By all means it really does depend on geography and where you live on how strong the signal is .. with this there is a bit of fine tuning but with the remote you can adjust it on your couch as opposed to getting up. Also there are presets that do help. I was researching antennas in Glendale, CA and couldn't find any information so I hope this helps somebody living around me. Buy the item at Radio Shack, at least if it doesn't work for you, pretty good return policy. [$] is pretty expensive for a antenna but a lot cheaper than any cable bill monthly

I am in Louisville, KY (Old Louisville area). I bought a Terk HDTVa and was quite disappointed with the poor reception. In addition, I frequently had to get up to move the antenna when switching from one channel to another.Not so with this HD antenna. I can fine-tune from my seat and all channels come in crystal-clear. I am able to receive: * WAVE 3 (NBC) * WAVE 3 Weather+ * WAVE 3 - Tube Music Network - channel is received but a message appears stating "Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Tube Music Network will no longer be available. For more information, go to [...] * WHAS 11 (ABC) * KET 15 1 (PBS) * KET 15 2 (PBS) * KET 15 HD 1 (PBS) * KET 15 HD 2 (PBS) * WLKY 32 (CBS) * WDRB 41 (FOX) * WYMO 58 (MyNetworkTV)I live in a 2-story carriage house behind two 4-story victorian houses and lots of trees across from a park with lots of trees. Behind me are more 4-story houses and trees. To my left and right are more 4-story houses and trees. My HDTV antenna is on a bookshelf next to my HDTV on the 1st floor of my house.Reception thus far has been perfect for all channels except WAVE 3. When it rains, that channel comes-and-goes but if I get up and adjust the rabbit ears, it comes in fine.I give this antenna an A+!

This is a very good antenna. If you require a multi-directional antenna, I would recommend this one. I use it to get HDTV signals in my bedroom and they all come in perfect. The only drawback is that everytime you change channel on your tv, you must change the channnel on the antenna unit also. But how lasy can you get? It will only take you all of 2 seconds to punch in the proper number. It can store up to 100 channels in its internal memory. This antenna also has an added bouns, you can hook up another device to its aux connector. If you want to get good FM radio siganls hook up your radio cable to this antenna, then dont switch the top port to the aux mode. Your FM radio must use a coax cable. If necessary you may need a screw on to push on adapter, for surround sound receivers with an FM tuner. You can use the memory for FM channels also. You would just set aside certin nubers of the memory for these stations,like 90 through 100 since most TV channels through broadcast don't use these channesl. You can then fine tune the antenna to receive FM signals and with the built in amplifier, you will get very good reception. If you put it in aux mode you will just get static. You only use aux mode if you are hooking up more than one component to your RF jack, such as a vcr or cable system since you dont need a signal amplfier for these singals. With this antenna I was able to get Crystal clear HDTV signals and also FM radio signals. So, if you want an anteanna for both HDTV and FM radio signals, get this one.

Have been using a 7 year old Jasco Optima passive antenna.Unlike upstairs, on main floor had to be careful and could not get Channel 41 (46 mile, good station). Have tried 5 others (RCA no good, Philips MANT 510 close) only this model was able to bring in ALL stations CEA Zones Yellow (Ch 2,4,5,9,11,29), Green (Ch 17, 45) AND Red (Ch. 23 & 41!)

Purchased the digital converter box that all us poor people have to get and had to get an antenna. I bought this one skeptical of how well it would work. I hooked everything up and the picture came in strong and clear. Got twice as many channels with this antenna than I did with my previous one. My biggest problem with this antenna is the size and shape. It is not very attractive at all, but I would rather have something that works than something that looks good but is a piece of junk. The remote and the fine tuning on this are great! I would buy it again. I don't know about the longevity of this piece because I bought it a week ago. Also bought an in line amplifier, and the two together work very well.

My wife and I where sick of paying $120 a month for HD Cable. We just bought this antenna to see if we could really get HD over broadcast. We were so pleased that we are getting rid of our overpriced cable.
