Monarch 50 Black Indoor Freeview HDTV Aerial - True 50 Mile Multidirectional Flat Paper-Thin Antenna with 4G filter for Maximum Freeview/UHF/VHF/FM/USB TV Tuner/DVB-T/DVB-T2/DAB radio reception

I don't always leave reviews. But I had to let everyone know. Because the aerial is the best one I have ever bought. The aerial is close to my television. And I can't get over the fact the aerial gives my television a very clear picture. And also the aerial looks nice. And you don't have to worry about having to put on loads of leads. You just have one lead. So all you have to do is just plug in into your tv. So I am so glad I bought this tv aerial. And if you are struggling with your tv aerial. This aerial is the best. I wish I bought it years ago. Thank god for Invention this aerial.

This is my second purchase of this aerial for a second TV. The first one is still going strong.I've tried many other indoor aerials. A few that looked like sex toys lol. Ones without power amplification and ones with power (USB power) amplification. Some were just ok and some just didn't really work very well at all depending on where in the house they were used.However, this aerial is the only one that consistently works depending on its placement. It's the only aerial that picks up the HD channels (101 to 105 and beyond) where others barely picked up SD channels.If you buy the white/transparent aerial, you barely know it's there.As my review title says, I feel this aerial has succeeded where all others have failed.So many variables when it comes to these things of course. How far are you from your transmitter? What might be in the way of the line of sight to interfere with the transmitted signal? What might be going on locally that interferes with your signal?But like I say, in my case, this aerial provides the best results compared to all other aerials I've tried by a country mile.If all else has failed or you're not happy with your own internal aerial, give this one a try. It might just work better; it certainly does for me!

You don’t get any kind of instruction sheet with this. Instead Amazon sends you an email on behalf of the retailer which you need to set it up. This doesn’t contain a diagram or instructions on how to fit it together.It’s very thin but quite wide. Took up more space than I expected.The product worked well. I could get the usual Freeview channels. I was worried it wouldn’t as it wasn’t next to, or on a window as they advise.Overall, good product and worth the money.

Best indoor antenna I've ever had. Found everything picture is perfect.

The product is not fit for purpose. It failed to connect with transmitters either local or national.In addition, when I tried to return the item the Amazon collection point in Morrisons was also not working.I have not tried to return it again as I have been out of the country.

Bought this to replace an active (powered) aerial which wasn’t performing well anymore. I was frankly a bit dubious but thought I’d give it a go. Our transmitter is some 35 miles away and with a claimed 50 mile range it should work - and it does, brilliantly! I simply placed it on a window sill using the supplied stand and we receive all the available channels and the picture and sound quality is great, with no breaking up at all. I am astonished, I never expected this level of quality from it and I’m very glad I gave it a go.

I recently inherited a 10-year-old, 37-inch Samsung HD Ready TV from my Brother-in-Law, as he was looking to replace it with a newer Smart TV. As such, I was looking to place the TV upstairs in my bedroom. This particular Samsung TV I was kindly given is not a "Smart TV". As such, rather than pay to have a second Virgin v6 TiVo box in the house, I wanted to invest in an indoor aerial that would allow me to pick up some Freeview channels, as a cost-effective alternative. Something that would allow us to entertain the kids with CBeebies, while tidying upstairs or running their bath, for example.It is worth noting that I have tried other indoor aerials upstairs before (with another TV), but with little success. I was unable to pick up any channels previously, in the same room this inherited TV was to feature. After intensive research and reading many reviews, I opted to give the RGTech Monarch 50 Transparent Indoor Freeview HDTV Aerial a try.It is seemingly more expensive than other aerials, but given the overwhelmingly positive reviews both on Amazon, and other review sites, I thought it was worth spending that little extra on. Especially, as the aerials I had bought previously were considerably cheaper. I wondered whether the build quality was an issue with those I had tried previously.On receiving the new aerial and unboxing it, I was a little concerned by just how thin and flimsy it looked. Nevertheless, I plugged the aerial into the back of the Samsung TV and stuck it to the window, as advised. Apparently, reception should be better, as there is little by way of interference placing the aerial so close to the exterior of the house. I then ran the auto-tuner on the TV itself. A few minutes later, no channels (or even radio stations) returned...It is worth noting that my nearest TV transmitter is in Sutton Coldfield - some 30 miles away from my home in South Derbyshire.Nevertheless, I repositioned the aerial again, about a meter away, at the same height as before, albeit this time against the wall facing my driveway (in our bedroom). After running the auto-tuner again to my amazement, I picked up 95 channels this time.I then repositioned it again, about another meter further along the wall, but again at the same height as before. Now I could get 130 channels. Brilliant.The only problem now was that the three sticky pads attached to the aerial itself had now lost their stickiness. As such, I went to my local supermarket and bought some "glue dots", which I then stuck directly to the aerial to hold it back against the wall. Job's a good'n.I was so pleased with the television coverage received upstairs that I quickly decided to invest in another one, for our television downstairs in the kitchen. Up to this point, we only use that TV for mirroring content from our smartphones to our Apple TV. We do not use it for watching Freeview, in that sense, as again, I have never been able to get good reception in our kitchen.Sadly, I was not so lucky second time around with the same aerial. I spent three painstaking hours positioning the aerial around the perimeter of our kitchen, eventually being able to locate 90 channels, albeit with significant interference making television viewing impossible. By this point, the aerial was covered in scratches (be wary, it is very susceptible to surface damage, so be careful during positioning) and I had used a whole packet of glue dots 60 or so. Not even the accompanying aerial stand could come to my rescue.As such, I can only give three stars to the aerial, based on my own personal experience. As with all indoor aerials, it takes time and patience through trial and error to eventually receive good television reception. This is not a simple "plug and play" solution. The bulk of the effort is in finding the best possible position in the room to feature the aerial, without the trailing wire making the room like an eyesore.If I were to give some tips, they would be to opt for the transparent version of the aerial, which is attached to a white cable. As other reviewers have said, it looks more discrete than the black variant. Also, allow yourself plenty of time to position the aerial. You cannot rush this stage of setup. And arm yourself with plenty of glue dots - the pre-supplied sticky pads are not great. Lastly, know when to call it a day. I did not and subsequently wasted three hours trying to get good coverage, which I have now reached the conclusion simply is not achievable in my kitchen.Good luck!

The aerial arrived very promptly. I plugged it into my talk talk box and I had no need to tune in any channels. It was all good to go. Great picture. Very discreet and neat.

Nie polecam. Odbiera fatalnie - połowę kanałów. Niczym nie różni się od innych anten. Żałuję, że kupiłam.

Trovati oltre 300 canali, non perde il segnale e la qualità delle immagini è ottima, occorre solo il cavo dell'antenna ( non la spina alla corrente) inoltre è leggerissima, ho preso quella trasparente e si può attaccare dietro alla TV senza doverla appoggiare

La conecté a la Tele que tenemos en el porche. Ahí no llega cable y se hacía muy difícil pasarlo. Funcionó a la primera detectando todos los canales. Parece magia. Simple, barato y funciona de maravilla.

The media could not be loaded. Je suis dans une région où la TNT passe très très mal, et il faut faire appel à un installateur qui vous met une antenne sur le toit et vous détrousse au passage de quelques 50 euros de déplacement, 120 euros d'installation et de matériel... En effet, nous sommes dans ce qu'ils appellent une zone grise, où la TNT passe très mal et où l'on n'a peu de chance d'avoir une bonne réception sans des systèmes spécifiques qu'ils nous facturent au prix fort !J'avais quelques doutes avec cette antenne, et bien tout soupçon est enlevé après l'avoir essayé. C'est simple, c'est rapide, ça marche et la qualité est au rendez-vous !!! J'ai du faire quelques tests pour trouver le bon emplacement et le bon angle, mais le résultat est au rendez-vous comme vous pourrez le constater sur la vidéo en attachement.En espérant que cela puisse servir à d'autres qui auraient des problèmes similaires. Au passage, on peut encore améliorer la réception en collant l'antenne sur la fenêtre, sans gêner la transparence, bien vu et bravo ! ☝

Meine Empfangsposition ist nicht optimal und so habe ich nach einer guten Zimmerantenne gesucht da ich keine andere Möglichkeit für die Antenne habe. Meine vorherige Stabantenne sowie zwei verschiedene andere Zimmerantennen (auch mit Verstärker) brachten keine Besserung so daß ich diese RGTech Monarch 50 noch als letzte Möglichkeit getestet/gekauft habe. Diese Antenne war wirklich besser als die genannten Zimmerantennen was mir der Receiver als auch die Bildqualität bei den privaten Programmen (diese werden mit geringerer Sendeleistung betrieben) bestätigte. Man darf keine Wunder erwarten aber ich glaube sie holt das maximum an Empfangsstärke für eine Zimmerantenne heraus. Dazu muß ich ergänzen daß ich die Antenne an der Fensterscheibe angebracht habe (man kann sie problemlos "fest kleben") weil ich dort den besten Empfang erreicht habe. Dies sollte man vorher durch "Ausprobieren" herausfinden da sie nach Fixierung sich nicht mehr so leicht lösen läßt. Zur Antenne selber: Sie ist sehr leicht, dünn und transparent aber trotzdem stabil und das Kabel ist sauber angebracht. Das Kabel hat eine gute länge von über 4m, ist flexibel und läßt sich gut verlegen. Was den LTE-Filter angeht kann ich nichts zu sagen da mir da Erfahrungswerte fehlen bzw. ob dieser überhaupt notwendig ist. (Vielleicht später wenn die oberen UHF-Frequenzbänder für LTE freigegeben werden).
