Lately we have been dealing with an increasing number of attempts to manipulate antennas ranking. Note: each person is allowed to post one and only one review for each antenna model. Exceptions can be made only under special circumstances when the reviewer feels that his earlier review must be corrected.

We have a sophisticated manipulation detection system in place and we will not tolerate any attempt to game the system and mislead consumers and our visitors. We reserve the right to delete any review that we feel is misleading or inappropriate and do that at our sole discretion. Thanks for understanding.

Also, from now on we require all reviews to be at least 100 words long. Short reviews, such as "a piece of junk" or "works as advertised" are not very helpful. Consider specifying more details. Elaborate on your location, the equipment you are using, reception quality of specific channels in your area. Check the word counter at the bottom when writing.

Terk TV-4 Review #0
Rating: 5 (excellent) Nickname: The Bone Date: 2009-05-06
Summary: Excellent reception
Picks up weak signals well. Need to turn it to adjust to best signal strength. Less flutter on converter signal indicator. Takes up more space than traditional rabbit ears.

Summary: works great, 80 miles from stations in foothills
I live on a ridgetop, and have great reception, and the Terk TV4 brings in all the channels perfectly! I was getting fair to good digital reception with just a bow-tie UHF antenna, but wanted all the channels, and got 'em with this Terk! After reading some of the other reviews here, it looks like people were trying to use this TV antenna for FM reception, and I don't think this unit is designed for that--no wonder it didn't work very well for them.


Terk TV-4 Review #2
Rating: 1 (very poor) Nickname: Bret Date: 2008-09-05
Summary: Waste of money
Bought a WinTV-HVR-1600 PCI tuner card for my XP Media Center PC. First I tried using the included FM antenna that came with the tuner card. It works ok, and allowed me to get about 5-6 stations. Then I bought the Terk TV-4 thinking it would get me a few more stations, and perhaps make the reception on the ones I already had better. It actually has worse reception than the thin little FM antenna that came free with the tuner card. Don't waste your money on this antenna. A coat hanger probably will give you better reception.

Rating: 1 (very poor) Nickname: Haltse Date: 2007-05-28
Summary: Was led in by the design but sadly that's all it does is look interesting.
Actually it may just look interesting so you have something to watch other than the signal this thing seems incapable of picking up:) My experience mirrors that of one of the above posters where the antenna did worse than no antenna and halved the number of channels I could receive. Sent it back the next day.


Terk TV-4 Review #4

Summary: five stars
I give the Terk indoor antenna TV4 Five Stars***** and here is why:

I recently bought a ten" portable Viore tv, that I take with me wherever I go...

my problem was that I couldn't get my TV to pick up channel threee major local houston channels: 8 [PBS], 11 [CBS], and 13 [ABC]. The antenna that came with the TV picked up all other channels but not the above three. I bought a rabbit ears antenna and a RCA antenna and they performed poorly.

I went to FRYS and settled for the Terk TV4, on the condition that if it didn't work I would take back...When i connected it it worked perfectly the images were crystal clear.

I give the designers Five stars for the design, instead of stretching the antenna from here timbuktu the odd squared design was a stroke of genius. plus it can be dismantled and carried all over the place.
