The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The RCA ANT1360E sits at $30.79, putting it in the accessible lower tier of the antenna market where most people start their cord-cutting journey. RCA is one of the oldest names in American consumer electronics and still carries broad recognition among buyers who appreciate a familiar brand over an unknown.
With over 4,000 units sold last month, the ANT1360E is clearly moving briskly, which suggests it hits a practical price-to-performance balance for the majority of buyers who use it. The 330-review sample at 4.1 stars is a reasonable confidence signal, though not the largest base in this category.
Spec details in the listing data are sparse, meaning buyers should verify range and supported frequencies in the full product listing. For urban and suburban users within range of local towers, a flat antenna like this plugged into a TV's coax input typically picks up network affiliates (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS) in full HD.
Pros
- Affordable at $30.79 with a trusted RCA brand name
- Over 4,000 units sold last month signals consistent buyer demand
- 4.1 rating from 330 reviews is a solid early confidence indicator
- Low cost makes it a sensible first experiment before committing to an outdoor antenna
Cons
- Only 330 reviews, so the rating picture is less settled than higher-volume competitors
- No range or gain spec data available to set distance expectations
- Color and finish details are not listed, making visual fit hard to judge
Performance notes
Available spec data for the ANT1360E does not include range, gain, or dimensions. Buyers should reference the full product listing or RCA's site for those figures. The strong monthly sales volume suggests it performs adequately in typical suburban reception environments.
What buyers say
The 4.1 rating across 330 reviews is a modestly positive signal. Monthly purchases exceeding 4,000 indicate this antenna is actively satisfying buyers at scale, not just collecting old reviews. A small number of lower ratings likely reflect buyers in fringe reception areas where no indoor antenna would succeed.

Frequently asked questions
Will the RCA ANT1360E work in my city?
Reception depends on your distance from broadcast towers and any physical obstructions like hills or buildings. Before buying, check antennaweb.org or rabbitears.info with your zip code to see which channels are in range and what antenna type they recommend. The ANT1360E is best suited for users within a moderate distance of towers.
Does this antenna need to be plugged into power?
Many flat antennas are passive and need no power connection, while amplified models plug into a USB or wall outlet. The listing data available does not specify whether the ANT1360E is amplified or passive, so check the product page or box for clarification before assuming either way.
Can I use this with a TV splitter for multiple TVs?
Yes, a coaxial splitter lets you run one antenna signal to multiple TVs. Keep in mind that splitting a signal reduces signal strength at each port, which can cause issues for weaker channels. An amplified splitter can help compensate, especially if you are feeding three or more TVs.
