Optimized for VHF and UHF frequencies, this RCA ANTB25 antenna works with most ATSC digital tuners and NTSC analog tuners when signals are present, including HDTV and standard definition, to offer a reliable backup for when storms block transmission.

Cut the cord!

I ditched Time Warner after years of raising my rates and poor customer service in Favor of Playstation Vue. The only thing you don't get with that service is local networks live (primetime programming is available the next day on demand though). So I picked up this little antennae to get the local channels live for sports, etc. To my surprise not only can I pick up the four major networks, but I'm getting about 20 channels total over the air, most of which in HD.

Mind Blown!

Wow what a movie, George Miller (like a fine wine) has perfected his craft over all the years the Mad Max franchise has been left untouched, and 'Fury Road' may well be his Magnum Opus. I didn't really know what I was watching, or what to expect, all I know is I liked it! From start to finish, this movie is one non-stop, action-packed, explosive (literally) chase that barely gives the viewer a moment to catch their breathe. That's not to say it only appeals to the mindless popcorn flick fans, as there is much more going on, but 'Fury Road' is a little light on expository dialogue.
And that's perfectly fine! For those interested in the philosophical themes and implications of the film, look no further than the classic tale of the oppressed being freed and getting revenge on their tormentors. Furiosa is a strong lead character in an era when Hollywood pushes for strong female characters but often fails. You just wait for Charlize Theron's Best Lead or Supporting Actress Oscar Nomination. The titular character Max does play second fiddle to Furiosa, but that shouldn't detract from your enjoyment of this masterpiece in any way.
*SPOILERS* As for the 'wow moment' when I was really sold on 'Fury Road': Mauraders are pole vaulting over Furiosa's war rig, dropping fire bombs onto the engine compartment. The front end of her vehicle goes up in flames and we think all is lost for our heroes when the booming overture comes in. Furiosa pulls a lever and drops the 'scoop' on her war rig's front end into the desert sand. This kicks up a huge cloud of dirt and sand, covering the front end of the vehicle, and putting out the fires as the overture continues increase in volume and our heroes escape unscathed. If that doesn't make you want to watch 'Fury Road', I don't know what will.

Falls Short of the First Avengers Film
on November 3, 2015
Posted by: Brad
Verified Purchase:Yes
First, the physical product in hand: The Blu-Ray case is RED, not blue as pictured. I know for some people this doesn't matter, but I'm pretty OCD about my Blu-Ray collection. I have all of the 11 released MCU films on Blu-Ray with identical cases, and now this bright red sticking out like a sore right thumb. I'll be buying some empty Blu-Ray cases to remedy this problem.
Now the film itself: The Marvel Cinematic Universe had a great year in 2014 with Captain America: The Winter Soldier (probably their best flick to date) and Guardians of the Galaxy. However 2015's Age of Ultron not only falls short of the writing quality of those films, but is nowhere near as good as it's predecessor, 2012's Avengers. There are plot points that feel unresolved and unexplained, left somewhere on the cutting room floor most likely. Character development is few and far between when compared with the solo films. Overall, Age of Ultron plays like a two and a half hour trailer for MCU Phase 3 and ultimately the 'Infinity War'.
It's not 'bad' by any means, but Marvel Has set a very high bar with some of their previous releases, and there is no excuse for future releases to fall short. Probably my least favorite of all 12 MCU films, but your mileage may vary.

This Game is Huge!

Looking for a game to consume every waking second of your time if you want to make any significant progress at all? Then this is the game for you! The areas on the world map are enormous with 100's of side quests. The game can be a bit difficult at times, but you just have to power level or save a difficult task/boss for later and come back when you're more powerful.

Should have been a DS game
on February 27, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I can't believe I'm giving a Kirby game anything less than five stars, but Nintendo fell a little short this time. In 'Rainbow Curse', you move Kirby by drawing rainbow ropes on the gamepad. It is a neat mechanic, and a fun game with unique graphics. However, you must be looking at the gamepad in order to play this game, so your TV is pretty much obsolete. I tried looking at the TV while I drew on the gamepad but this makes it very hard to be accurate with the rainbow ropes. In short, this game should have been on the DS. One thing they could have done to make the game more TV friendly, would be to 'draw' on the TV screen with the Wii remote. It would function like the stencil on the game pad, but just have a pointer on the screen to draw with when you aim the Wii remote at it.

need antenna inside apt no windows

witch one can I buy?
I have the antennae in the corner of my room on top of a dresser, several feet from the nearest window, and it works fine. As long as the wall you have it near is an exterior wall, I think you should be fine.

Looking to get at least basic channels in my camper. I am in a permanent site. How well would this work?

It depends on how close your camper is to the nearest broadcasting city. I think this antennae is rated for 25 miles, but if it is all flat area around you, you should be able to pull signal from a little further. If you are in the mountains, the range could possibly be less than 25 miles. The antennae is multidirectional, so once you find a good location that works, you will not have to ever adjust it.
