RCA VH71 A/B Slide Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This switch is built like a brick, with the weakest point being the little plastic handle, able to withstand drops with ease. One should not be worried about the build quality on this device at this price point. Now it functions exactly as stated allowing you to watch OTA TV along with your service provider, whether it be cable, direct tv, or dish network as long as your service provider uses a coax cable to send you the signal. To use the device you simply move the little plastic handle from one end to the other. I know I am going off on a tangent, but setting it up to work with your TV is probably one of one's questions regarding this device as it was mine.
Set-Up process:
-Connect your OTA antenna and your service's provider coax cable to the dual end of the device (IN) I suggest putting your subscriber's service coax cable in the input (IN) marked cable on the device.
-Connect your antenna to the only other available input (IN) on the device.
-Buy a coax cable either RG6 or RG59 with F-Plugs on each end (Both Female Ends), and connect it from the device to your TV
Note: You should buy a coax cable that is exactly the same as your subscriber's coax cable to prevent signal degradation or loss.
Make sure your TV has a built-in tuner if you want to use a basic antenna to pick up OTA channels.
Uses for this switch:
-If you are recording a show, you can switch to OTA to watch a different show
-If you live in an ethnic area where there is a lot of broadcasting stations in your area, or your subscriber blocked PBS or removed any other OTA station you can now watch it again, by switching the signal to OTA.
-Getting OTA HD channels that are not available through your subscriber.
-Pranks
-TV time-out
Overall this device is solid, and highly recommended. If you have any questions about this device or setup feel free to leave comments.
