I tripled and the long pole broke

a piece of junk one of the antenna poles broke , within a week, also the 4 foot cord attached to it means you cant move it too far from set.

But yesterday one of the poles broke clean off when I adjusted it slightly.

One of the poles broke within days of getting the antenna

This antenna worked well for a cheap-o

This cheap-o needed the least adjustment and received the most channels

this was a very inexpensive antenna I used for a vintage Kenwood tuner... pulls in many stations with a strong signal as good as

it broke as i was screwing in the antenna

I'm giving it 3 stars because it does work, and works pretty well, but it broke as I was putting it together

After testing both antennas at 3 different locations in my house located in northern VA, the conclusions are 1) it is your location that matters the most, not the antenna, and 2) this RCA antenna performs far better than, or at least as good as, the Terk antenna in all 3 locations.

so thought I would try and see what kind of signal this would pull through if I hooked it up the where the cable TV used to connect into the splitter supplying feed to the remaining TV's which weren't hooked up to DirectTV as well as to the additional cable jack for the sets hooked up to Direct .

Works as it should.... but check the website to find out how far your towers are so you can be sure and get the channels you may want.

You pay almost nothing for an antenna that delivers over the air channels as well as, if not better than, the cable company I used to do business with.

One of the 'ears' broke off as if I bent it back & forth, it just broke....

The signal is disrupted when a helicopter flies by (which happens more than I realized in DC), but when the signal is clear, the quality is just as good as

This antenna is amazing as to all the channels we do get from it.

This thing broke as soon as we took it out of the box

Doesn't work as it should.
