The RCA antenna couldn't look more ordinary, but it can pull in most signals like those that cost several times as much.My only gripe is that one of the antenna cannot be screwed all the way in as much as the other. It does not affect performance.Update (9-5-2011):I bought two more last week. They are as good as my Terk amplified antenna, which cost $45. No problem with antenna screw thread for these two.
