TERK FDTV1A Omni-Directional Amplified Flat Digital HDTV Antenna

Pros: Gets over 100 Channels Nice, sleek look

Cons: None that I can think of right now

Overall Review: This works great! I live in a big city and get over 100 channels. Granted, the majority of them are in languages I don't understand, but I get all the major channels in HD and a lot of other English speaking channels - All for FREE! Between this and streaming video, it's "Goodbye cable!"

Pros: WOW this antenna works great. Picked up 30+ local channels in West Valley of Phoenix. Channel CBS-FOX-ABC-ION-weather and local news. I watched Survivor, American Idols, Revenge, Modern Family, Burned Notice, Ghost Whisper and many more good shows. All that for free with no monthly payments to the Cable company. The Picture is crystal clear.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I’m very impressed. I just left the Antena standing behind the TV on the furniture top.

Pros: Works as advertised . I was able to receive channels with little to no interference. It doesn't have an annoying light to show that it is on.

Cons: My gripe is that it does take some fine tuning to get some stations. I do not like the fact that i have rotate the antenna 90 degrees to receive certain channels. The screws for the stand were a pain to screw in. It is on the pricey side.

Overall Review: Overall I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Pros: Well it works like a champ! After moving into a new place where I couldn't get a clear line of sight for a satellite and not wanting to ever go back to cable, I opted to go the Roku route. The only snag was the whole local channel thing. I installed this in my attic and it picked up all the local HD channels and I haven't had a single issue with it. Coupled with a Harmony remote, switching between say SlingTV and the antenna is fast and you almost forget that this isn't part of a cable package.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Pros: Exterior is aesthetically pleasing. Hook up is a no brainer.

Cons: I pickup no more on it than a clear view or other cheaper brand and something my other antennas do not do as this one is doing is dropping signals or freezing in the middle of a broadcast. Where I live is near the transmission towers so I pick up 28 channels.

Overall Review: My last Antenna which I use downstairs was a Radio Shack Antenna which looks much like the Terk but costs less and picks up the same channels but does not drop signals or freeze frame. Maybe I received a lemon. Maybe not. Research your options and make an educated purchase. I do hope my review helps.

Pros: Did something unusual - I read the directions because I've had limited success with antennas. Tried several modes & all worked as one would hope: (1) straight into the atsc tuner (w/o Amplifier) & picked up 32 digital stations. Expected this because we're within 15 miles of towers. (2) Moved to second floor on top of a wood bookcase (to get away from the aluminum siding). TV in basement picked up 4 channels (a very long run). No shock there. (3) Kept it on the second floor & connected up the amp (didn't plug it in) No Channels. again, expected. (4) Plugged in the amp. & received 32 channels. (5) Plugged the amplified antenna signal into my video distribution setup. 34 channels on each HDTV. Great pic & sound.

Cons: I would have liked to see each of the coax cables about 2 ft. longer. I had to add another 3 ft. coax.

Overall Review: I'm putting in one for my mom's apartment - turns out she has cable only so she can watch the local channels. I don;t know if the amplifier will be needed, but it is nice to have it if she does.

Pros: Very Convenient Antenna, can detect signals from all around without me standing up and rotating the rings as in the traditional Rabbit/Loop or directional Antennas. Walking around will not destroy the signal. Where as in traditional antennas, walking around can reflect/defect the directional signal causing TV blackouts (digital cliff).

Cons: Amplifier Gain is not as strong as traditional Rabbit/Loop (15-30 dB typical). So don't expect great results if you live far away (20+ Miles) from broadcast towers. Although the trade-off with this one is that it can pick up a wider range of channels under one tune (scan). With the rabbit ears, you needed to focus the direction for maximum signal per channel (IE, stronger signal for ABC but lose NBC channel) so multiple tunes are required. Needs better Price Justification, hehehe...

Overall Review: From apartment in NYC (~8 miles from broadcast), 3rd Floor of a 10-Floor Building.

Pros: This antenna has a sleek design that makes the hardware not standout inside the house. It also gets great reception.

Cons: Kind of flimsy and easy to break if it falls.
