TERK HDTVo Amplified Directional HDTV Antenna TERK HDTVo Amplified Directional HDTV Antenna

Pros: I am at least 20 miles from most broadcasts. This antenna picks up anything I point it at well. I've even been able to pick up stations 50 miles away, though I lose most the others as that station is at a completely different angle. I might get another to combine and maximize my reception.

Cons: Wish it were cheaper. ;)

Pros: I installed this antenna in the attic of home in Queens ny. once the antenna was properly position, i was able to view all channels between 2-69. this antenna is connected to my directv receiver which has an off-air tuner built into it.
Great backup for when satillite system goes down.
Very pleased with the product. I would recommend to a friend.

Cons: None

Pros: This is a nice little bundle for the price. Small size with easy to use mount and the amp seems to work very well. Installed about 37-40 miles from broadcast attenna's here in the hills and mountains of WV and picks up all the digital station with strong signle. And this is bounced from the hill across the road.

Cons: The mount is nice but the lag bolts that come with it to attach to the house are very cheap and round off very easly due to the shape of the hex. Do your self a favor and get 4 bolts from the hardware store to attach it with.

Other Thoughts: Good directional unit but I feel the amp is the real magic behind the curtain with this one. But it did impress me with great reception.

Pros: I did some research, found db calculators (Google coax length calculator), and ordered this. I ordered it because it has a 13db amp, and the price. I set it up temporarily on a post around 8ft off the ground that is shooting between (not over) my garage and porch because it was raining and I could not get on the roof, I will do all that tonight. Tvfool says it needs to be at least 10ft off the ground. I have 50ft of quad shielded outdoor RG6 75ohm line going to the amp, then one two way splitter, one leg is going to the TV over 50ft of RG6 indoor line, the other leg is going 50ft into another splitter (both splitters are -3.5db) that both ends (two tuners) are going into an HDHR network recorder. This is hooked up to Windows7 64bit Final using its H.264 Media Center being viewed over an Xbox 360 on a wired (wireless even N sucks) network. The signal on the network recorder config utility is steady at 80-90% on all my near 28-30mile stations, and 70-80% on 2 stations further out.

Cons: Nothing at all

Other Thoughts: I recorded two HD prime time shows at the same time on my Intel 8300/2g (not the fastest) PC, and WOW! On a 52” screen viewing the shows over the Xbox is unbelievable. I can hardly see any difference in the recorded vs. the live program. My stations are within 10 degrees of each other. This is a directional antenna and that comes into play. . I only need to record the 15 or so shows I like on broadcast TV. Other than that I use Netflix. I really dislike the greed I see from my cable, TxXo, and satellite companies. I hope this in any way helps others in choosing an antenna.

Pros: It does well picking up UHF from 45 miles out.

Cons: Only got 2 of 8 available VHF stations.

Other Thoughts: Terk needs to make it clear that VHF channels won't be picked up from the same distance UHF channels will.

Pros: When installed as it is meant to be installed, it works great. With a clear line of sight, it picks up stations at 30-40 miles flawlessly.

Cons: If a building primarily constructed of steel and concrete is blocking its view, the signal greatly diminishes. Airplanes tend to disrupt the signals when flying by at low altitude (I am within a 10 minute drive of a regional airport), but that is not the fault of the antenna.

Pros: It did work a little. It had a versatile mounting mast. RMA'd for a refund.

Cons: This product did not function very well for me, the best signal strength I could get was about 50%, standing on the roof of my two story house, which is on top of a hill 30 miles from the major TV stations. I got just as good a signal from an old bow tie shaped wire UHF antenna. It is possible that the antenna I received was defective, the fact that it did work a little though made me choose an indoor flat square antenna.

Other Thoughts: The amplifier that came with it, didn't seem to do anything, so I tried an old amplifier that I had which does work, and it didn't make any difference either.

Pros: This thing is amazing! Small, works better than rated and easy to install.

Cons: The mounting screws that were supplied had the top half unthreaded. If mounting on roof need to get new screws that are fully threaded so it will grab into roof solid. Only cost me an extra dollar to get.

Other Thoughts: I bought this so I didn't have to pay Dish Network for my locals and get better quality (seems they get their locals from comcast and it gets compressed again). I am in zip code 60041, 43 miles from towers. My area is violet, this was rated at blue but didn't want to install one of those old school big antennas so I thought I would give this one try. This thing found 30 Digital channels! Can almost get CBS 2, but they are switching to a new tower in Feb. All other ch's come in @ 80-100 % on my vip 622 box. I used a compass to get me in the general direction, then did some adjusting after that to get the best signal. I installed it on the top of my garage and then installed the power injector in the attic of the garage (the amp is in the antenna itself). Anyone who says this thing doesnt work must have hooked something up wrong. I made sure to find an area that wasnt blocked by trees or homes. Take your time and buy quality Quad Shield RG6 coax and this thing will treat you well.

Pros: This Antenna it truly amazing.

If you have an HD TV this is a must have antenna.

I am getting channels all over the place I live in IL and I am picking up 55+ miles away HD Signals.

Very Nice Antenna It has a great Multi Directional Signal.

Its a must have if you have an HD Tv or if you are just getting an antenna for a converter box.

Great Product Amazing Price for the Signal Strength this thing gets.

A++++

Cons: None Just make sure you aim it about half and half of both ways you want to get signals from I get IL Signals and Madison WI signals 50+ miles away from me :)

Other Thoughts: Great Buy If you want a good Antenna!

Pros: HDTVo
Set up Antenna and directed position through antennaweb.org
Installed as a roof top mount. I am using it with an AverTV Hybrid Volar Max usb receiver into my pc (EAST-VALLEY PHOENIX, ARIZONA. I pick up all Yellow through Blue Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) zones for my area.
FM radio has a slight crackle at times on certain stations, but HDTV works great at 1080i.
I am running a 50ft RG6U coaxial cable on a 10’ mast on the peak of my roof.
Be sure to run the coaxial through an ac/coaxial surge suppressor (grounded). I ran a ground spike
with a dedicated ground wire all well. Be sure to attach the amplifier before any splitters or surge suppression.
Truly worth the price. Good luck!

Cons: FM has a slight crackling sound on some stations, but that could be related to my HDTV-FM tuner or the included antenna amp.

Other Thoughts: HDTV antenna broadcasts have a great picture, too bad it's just the same old stupid TV shows at a better resolution.
