| Summary: Useless Antenna | ||
| Design and construction is so flimsy the antenna was unable to support itself in an upright position without supplemental bracing. All our HD stations are on the same tower site so the distance to each is 20 miles (+/- one mile) and bearings are +/- 2 degrees. Using the autotune feature on the TV, this antenna was only able to capture 3 digital signals and unable to hold any of them long enough to permit viewing a program. A few of the analog stations were picked up, however, the picture quality was so bad the signals it did receive were useless. Got out my $10, 30-year old rabbit ears, pluggged into my high dollar TV and got 19 digital channels plus excellent performance on analog. Took the Terk back to Best Buy. | ||

| Summary: Good Antenna | ||
| I am new to the HDTV antenna. I didn't realize that you could get quality high definition channels from an antenna. After reading the reviews on this model terk, I went to best buy and bought one. I'm kinda retarded cause i placed the antenna on top of the t.v. in the basement just to see if it would work. It did i'm picking up about 5 or 6 high def channels and 4 or 5 analog. I imagine when I move that I will be able to pick up a few more channels when the antenna is above ground. I'm currently 7 to 25 miles away from the towers. | ||

| Summary: good antenna! | ||
| I have only had barely three channels, trying all kinds of antennas mostly powered. The last 5 years at least. No luck with non powered ones. Always had to move the ones I bought constantly and hitting interference. The TERK hdtva rules! I have five channels now clear. I dont have hdtv either. I can get two more with some adjustment. No more interference. I pointed the metal wing thing out the window and it got even better. I am impressed! Thanks a lot! | ||

| Summary: far better than other HD antennas | ||
| Before I bought this antenna, I was using a smaller HD antenna that was shady at besr. I bought the terk at best buy simply because it was open and they discounted it. I couldn't believe the difference. I scanned the available channels again, and discovered that I was now getting at least twice the number of channels that I was getting with my old HD antenna. I highly recommend the Terk HDTVa. It may be pricey but it's worth it. | ||

| Summary: Out perform my pay cable TV | ||
| I have purchased a HDTV last year, and kept the cable tv service, and the picture quality has never been good on the HDTV. Didn't plan on any other pay services such as Direct TV or digital cable since the news is the only program that we watch on TV; and most of the time we watch movies on DVDs. The transition of the digital broadcast has been a hot topic recently, I started my research and realized that all I need is a HDTV antenna to receive local digital broadcast. Most guides and reviews saying that outdoor antenna will be a good choice, but I don't wanna bother to climb up the roof and run the cable back inside the house, so I decided to give the indoor antenna a shot. Picked up the Terk HDTVA at the local store, hooked it up, and started searching the channels on my TV. It picked up quite a few channels including both analog and digital. I deleted all analog channels and go through the digital channels one at a time. It took me a while to figure out which direction to point the antenna to in order to maximize the reception. Go to http://antennaweb.org/aw/Address.aspx and type in your address, it will give you the street level map showing you the signal towers and direction you need to point your antenna to. One thing I notice and other users have complaint about is sometimes when you walk in front of the antenna, it will interfere the signal; so that I place the antenna at the far corner of the house to minimize this problem. After I have found the best location to place and point the antenna, I received total of 27 digital channels in which 8 of them are HD quality, giving me crystal clear pictures. I am very happy with the result, and am cancelling my cable service. | ||
