Limited Choice of EIA/CEA-909A Smart Antennas in The Marketplace
Prior to the final transition to ATSC Digital television in the United States on June 11, 2009, two smart antenna models were brought to market:
- RCA ANT2000 -- no longer available from retailers
- DTA-5000 -- manufactured by Funai Electric, marketed under the "DX Antenna" brand name, sometimes associated with the Sylvania brand name; no longer available from retailers
And two models are causing consumer confusion:
- Although the Apex SM550 is capable of connecting to a CEA-909 port for the purpose of drawing electrical power, it is not a true smart antenna.
- The unfortunately-named Channel Master 3000A SMARTenna is a conventional antenna, not a smart antenna.

The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice of a calling, our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like, but in a silent thought by the way-side as we walk; in a thought which revises our entire manner of life, and says,—”Thus hast thou done, but it were better thus.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Baby, they were plenty smart when they made you beautiful.”

—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
