RCA ANT751 Outdoor Antenna Review (B0024R4B5C)
This is an acclaimed antenna by RCA, which is designed for digital and standard broadcasts.
It is small yet highly effective. You will need only one meter of space for it, and it can pick up transmissions from 40 miles away or more.
The ANT751 is very easy to install thanks to snap lock parts and fold out assembly. Everything you need is provided to mount it either outside or in the attic. It also comes with a one year warranty.
Pros:
The majority of the reviewers of this product give it 5 stars. That says a lot about the product. It is well made, durable, and most importantly it works really well. Many reviewers say that they receive a lot more channels than they expected and that the quality of the reception is excellent.
Buyers highlight that you can get great HD reception and that you may even get a good picture without an amplifier. Reviews point out also that it has been designed to reduce interference. Several users report being able to receive clear pictures even though they were more than 40 miles from the transmitter mast, which is the stated range of the antenna.
Installation is very simple too, according to consumers. It is light and easy to work with. It comes with all the parts you need and the instruction guidelines are very clear. Some users have found that the antenna works really well in their attic (and in one case, even in a basement!) so climbing a ladder to install it on a wall may not be necessary.
Several buyers say that the antenna is half the price of equivalent antennas. Many consumers say that they can get all the channels that want and that they are literally saving a small fortune on satellite and cable fees.
Cons:
A few users report that the connector on the coaxial transformer that connects your cable to the antenna may be loose and could spin around when you screw on the cable. Consequently, the little wires inside may be severed by the twisting action. So you have to be very careful when installing. Some users have replaced this part altogether. Incidentally this weakness could explain why some people only receive a few channels or do not get good reception.
A relatively small number of users report not being able to receive many channels or that the reception is weak. This could be due to their location or due to a damaged coax cable connector (see above).
The RCA ANT751 Outdoor Antenna is really effective and has already saved many consumers a fortune in satellite and cable fees. It’s a quality item too, which will give you many years of service.
