Have you ever compared this antenna to the RCA ANT751? My question is specific to long-range reception as I am 50 miles from Empire State Building.

I have not compared the antennas. I have the Winegard and live outside Washington, DC in VA. I have gotten Baltimore stations with the antenna.

This is a mid-range antenna, not a long range. And, I'm in a reception "hole" since broadcast went digital. When broadcast was analog, I could receive Dayton channels, sixty plus miles away. I could not receive even the strongest station with this antenna; but I can receive the Public channel, Bowling Green , which is slightly further away in the opposite direction. I'm not familiar with the antenna to which you referred in your query. If it works well for you, let me know.

My apartment is towards the back of the house so I had some minor issues when first scanning. I ended having to put the antenna on the wall higher than my normal tv stand and re-scanned on every dial until I found the setting that allowed me the most channels available and just adjusted the "rabbit ears" accordingly. All in all it took me a good 30 minutes to find the right place for me but it has been great every since. I hope that helps you, good luck.

I'm not sure what the range is. I live in Manhattan and though it mostly works ok it's not without need of adjustment. I was hoping to place it in a convenient spot and forget about it but I have to adjust it often. Living in Manhattan I would opt for a more expensive and hopefully more powerful antenna.

I live in a smaller town and I can receive signals that are probably 55 miles away in different directions. I had a more expensive antenna and it didn't perform near as well. Because these are antenas, I have found placing them near a window and at a higher level on shelf above tv extends their distance ability.

I'm sorry to say, neither. I tried three of these Sangean ANT-100 antennas on two different Sangean CL-100 radios and there was absolutely no signal improvement whatsoever on ANY band (AM, FM or NOAA). The signal I was receiving prior to attaching this "antenna" greatly degraded the moment I plugged it in. I also took the liberty of trying this "antenna" on several other radios in my home and unfortunately, I obtained the same result. In my opinion (and experience), this so-called "antenna" is literally worthless and Amazon should discontinue this product immediately.

I have a place in northeast Wisconsin and I am 72 miles from Green Bay, Wi and I now receive all the channels from Green Bay. I have the antenna only about 12 feet off the ground right now. So I would have to say the antenna works very well.

Sure. For me the antenna worked better in my basement then on top of the house. Still it was very sensitive to placement. I think my local station were too close too strong and the antenna's internal amplifier was too much gain. Best advice is just to try it and see if it works for you. If not send it back. Good luck.

This has been an excellent antenna for us. It picks up Buffalo NY which is about 60 miles from us. We are at about 1200 ft elevation and Buffalo is about 400 ft elevation.

I found this site: voxrightnow.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/11178/~/choosing-the-right-rca-indoor-antenna - it has this antenna listed (ANT111) as CEA certified.

For sure. I live 40-60 miles from various towers in Detroit, Toledo and Lansing, and am in the woods. Mine is hanging indoors in my attic and I still get reception. I purchased based on feedback of reception strength at a distance.

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck!

RCA ANT751 available at Amazon works great for me 40 miles from tower mounted in my attic.

I do not have any trouble with my reception but it may have to do with my location. The good news is that it comes with an antenna, though not a fantastic one. I receive a strong signal from my favorite radio station which is located over 60 miles away, if that helps.

Just looking at the gain figures, the 4221HD should pull in a little more from 50 miles. But I am not the ultimate expert. I suggest you go to tvfool dot com, put in your exact address and antenna height, and share the link that appears toward top of report with the people at dtvusaforum dot com. They will make specific recommendations based on your exact circumstances. Top antenna professionals donating their time, so be polite. Antenna will probably have to be outdoors at 50 miles. My case was an exception.

A simple search on the internet revealed that the ANT1650R includes a amplifier. If you don't have an amplifier, this might be a better choice for you. http://voices.yahoo.com/product-review-rca-indoor-digital-flat-antenna-11785777.html I had one already, so I used my signal amplifier when I used the ANT1600 and it was the only way I could stop the pixilating that occurred from time to time when I used it without amplifying the signal. Digital signals are more demanding than the old analog was. I know of one person who actually mounted this outside on his roof to get better reception.

every area has different characteristics, and RF interference, my signals are making it over 50 miles and sharp, if the broadcast towers are unobstructed between you and them, i.e. on top of tall buildings it shouldn't be a problem, there are online resources to give you estimated channel reception, take what it says and the Mohu should out perform that substantially

I created a review against the RCA ANT751 on July 2, 2015 here. Please find my review in the reviews section. Just look for the date and you'll see mine.
