The included power supply a switching type, 120 VAC, 0.4 Amp to 9 VDC, 1000 mA is separate from the the RCA DTA880 and is connected to the RCA DTA880 via a cord, approximately 4 feet, and a barrel plug, However, the depth measurement does not include the connectors on the back. The RCA DTA880 has a small foot print at 5 1/4 inches wide, by 3 3/4 inches deep, and by 1 3/4 inches high. But it is the same as if I had used a splitter to run the antenna to both the RCA DTA880 and the TV. And of course there is some signal loss from the antenna through the RCA DTA880. I have the Coax Output Modulation of the RCA DTA880 set to Loop Thru so the Antenna connected to the RCA DTA880's Antenna Input is available to my TV, so I am able to watch one channel while the RCA DTA880 records another channel. Since my TV is a LCD flat screen with HDMI connections and an ATSC tuner I do not use the RCA DTA880 as a converter. My main use for the RCA DTA880 is as a timed event recorder for over the air TV. The recordings are excellent, I use a 128 GB 3.0 USB thumb drive made by Lexor. The RCA DTA880, I find, has some very good qualities.
