- Does this antenna get all local channels?
- It receives free over-the-air broadcasts, so what you get depends on which stations transmit near you. In strong-signal areas owners report the major networks; far from towers, expect fewer.
- Do I need the amplifier on?
- The amplifier helps when signals are weak. If you live close to transmitters, try it without the amplifier, since boosting an already strong signal can cause dropouts.
- Where should I place it?
- High on a window facing the broadcast towers works best for most people. Try a few spots and rescan channels each time, because small moves can change reception.
- Is it good for a basement or interior room?
- Indoor antennas struggle through concrete and distance. A basement or interior wall away from windows will likely get fewer channels than an upstairs window.
- What comes in the box?
- The flat antenna panel with its attached coaxial cable and amplifier, plus the power connection for the amplifier. A TV with an ATSC tuner is required.
- Where is the RCA Indoor Flat Amplified HDTV Antenna cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $39.99, as of our latest check.
