User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great Antenna – Very Directional
I decided to ditch cable and go with OTA programming instead, and with the DTV switch over coming I wanted a good antenna to get the most out of this process.
PROS – Worked as described, pulled in great reception on all channels antennaweb.org said I should be able to receive
CONS – You really have to point it accurately, I shouldn’t complain, it’s sold as a directional antenna, and it lives up to it’s name, but with the help of a compass, and a little nudging, it soon pointed in the right direction, and gave a great picture.
The side bars for me almost stopped me from getting it to the right angle, they are a lot wider than they seem in the picture, and they seem quite wide in that. Make sure if purchasing this, that the location you intend to mount this on, won’t require the antenna to be pointed too much to the side, or it’ll get stuck.
1 Star Not Satisfied
This antenna just didnt do a good job. I returned it and bought a clear channel one that works very well.
5 Stars Terk HDtv Antenna
I am forty miles from the television transmitters in Spring / The Woodlands, TX using TivoHD. The television transmitters are on the opposite side of downtown. The large buildings seem to block a lot of the transmissions.
Medium Directional: unacceptable performance.
Large Directional (deep fringe antenna, Channel Master Crossfire): Good performance only on days with low wind. The antenna is highly directional and even the slightest movement caused the antenna to oscillate back and forth about five degrees.
Terk HDtv Amplified Antenna: Fantastic! And not affected by the wind!
5 Stars good so far
Works good. We are about 50 miles from Chicago and all the stations come in real clear. There is one channel we could not get at all, now we can. Installation was easy. If you have more than one TV make sure you install the booster before your splitter.
5 Stars Simple, fast, and most importantly it works!
I live about 21.4 miles from the TV towers according to antennaweb.org. I was skeptical at first because they suggested purchasing one size bigger than specified. Anyways, I wanted to try our the HDTVO after reading all the good reviews and I’m glad that i bought this. My rabbit ears picked up 3 channels (2 from nbc and one i dont remember). After mounting this on my rooftop, I just pointed toward the picture from antennaweb and voila! My first scan was without the amplifier and got 29 channels. After plugging in the amplifier (with the “on” switch), i received 50 plus channels. I highly recommend this.
