Customer Rating:      Summary: not very happy with it Comment: After I received this product, I was trying from different directions. I can receive the channels listing from antenna website. However, it is not consistant. Sometimes, it works perfectly but another time it doesn't work at all.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wonderful product Comment: I purchased the best antenna at Best Buy when I bought my new HDTV and it was a serious disappointment. When I got the Terk up and running I was surprised by the complete difference between the two products. This antenna is wonderful! The clarity of picture and the ability to get more channels allows me to stay away from the highway robbers known as cable and satellite companies! I am extremely satisfied!!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Got all channels within 52 miles Comment: I have been very pleased with this antenna. Personally, I think it's a little ugly, but I can't complain about the performance.
I bought this along with a digital converter box, to supplement my Dish service to get Local Channels, that are not included in my Local Dish channels.
I believe the range is only supposed to be 35 miles for this antenna, but I'm able to get all channels within 52 miles.
The Terk HDTVi is also a very good product. I was able to get all but one channel that I get with the HDTVa, and the amplified model doubles the reception signal strength.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very Low Signals Comment: I purchased this product with a lot of excitement after reading all the positive reviews. I live in San Gabriel Valley, close to mountains and this antenna didn't meet my expectations. It had very low signals and I could hardly see SOME of the local channels. Unfortunately, I had to return it to Amazon for a full refund.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Works, even in my BASEMENT! Comment: I live in a garden level basement apartment of a house. I paid way too much for this exact antenna at Best Buy ($75), but that doesn't take away from the fact that it is a good antenna. After trying out a few others, this was the only one that worked in my dungeon. With my old rabbit ear antenna, I used to only get about 5 fuzzy stations. Now, with a converter box and this antenna I get nearly a full signal on about 20 stations! Wish I had bought a converter box and antenna a long time ago. Crystal clear reception and sound.
I accidentally knocked it over, off my mantle. It took a 5 foot tumble to the hardwood floor, and it still works perfectly. Just make sure you plug the metal piece into the base securely, and you will get good reception. If you do not plug it in enough, the reception is only as good as rabbit ears would be. This step makes a HUGE difference.
I am sticking with this antenna, and will likely buy a few more. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
**Make sure you get the HDTVa, and not the HDTVi.
