Product Description
The Terk HDTVs is optimized for HDTV and analog UHF/VHF reception. Its great at receiving reflected signals, which is important in cities. Even if the HDTVs is pointed at a building, the antenna will receive a reflected signal and reject all other multi-path signals. The supplied hardware allows you to mount the HDTVs on a roof, railing, outdoor wall, or in an attic. Low-band VHF Channels 2-6 (reception range up to 15 miles)
Customer Reviews:
great purchase.......2007-12-11
I have 2 high-def TVs. I put this antenna in my attic, and used a co-ax splitter to run two cables down to my separate TVs. The reception is fantastic. People cannot believe that they are watching High-Def without paying for digital cable or Satellite service. Seriously a GREAT investment.
Incredible reception, worth the expense........2007-11-13
I had previously purchased the Terk Amplified Indoor HDTV antenna, somehow believing the word "amplified" meant that I would have better reception. It worked well when you could get it arranged well, usually this meant getting it as near the ceiling as I could manage and pointing it out a window, which worked great . . . when you could hold it there. It would not pick up many channels without reorienting, at one point it was even used with a cable running to another room just to get better reception. After purchasing a new LG 42" HDTV for the living room, I knew I'd need something more capable.
I was immediately interested in the Terk HD-TVS Slim Profile antenna just for its looks--it literally looks like no other antenna I've seen. Still, I was of a mind to be cautious after the previous experience with a Terk product and kept looking. Most of the higher rated outdoor antennas I saw were from Terk, so I came back to look it over once more. Other more typical antennas cost a lot less, but with my location and yard, I really wanted to get something mounted on the house; the roof at my home was still in the process of being renovated, and I didn't want to mar the fresh work by mounting it there when it was done either, that meant that I would likely be mounting it high on an outer wall. Once I had decided that, I have to be honest that I had decided upon the HD-TVS just for its looks alone. I could only envision the larger, forked antennas as looking tacky on the side of my home.
When it arrived I decided to try a quick test by replacing the indoor amplified antenna that had required so much waving around. Just setting this thing on the floor of the bedroom, I immediately managed to tune every local channel. The antenna is actually very light, probably a lot lighter than you think. It is roughly the same size as a DirecTV dish but about half the weight. Like many other users here, I consulted antennaweb.org for a good location, and now the antenna sits just beside a chimney under an awning. It took a couple of additional tilts in order to lock in a strong signal on two stations which are at the same angle from my house, as a bit unexpectedly, when adjusting for one, the other dropped just under 50% strength, but as of this writing I'm pulling in every local station at excellent strength. My place is in a rural area with LOTS of trees so I had been concerned about this after reading another review here, but with local stations between 20.7 and 28.3 miles away I'm thrilled with the reception. Best of all I don't look like a kook with a short wave radio in my house. I may never notice when analogue stations get pulled from the air, just because the DTV signal is so excellent with this antenna, highly recommended.
I love this antenna!.......2007-10-15
This antenna is "da bomb"!
I've tried the giant aluminum christmas tree looking antenna and hated the results. The TERK not only brings in channels that I could not get with the christmas tree, but almost all channels have a full signal. I mounted this on the side of my house and now I'm picking up channels from 60 miles away in FULL HD.
Know Its Limitations.......2007-10-09
Like another who reviewed this product, I live in Chicago. All of the major networks and many indepents broadcast from one of the two tallest buildings in a city of many tall buildings. All but one of the digital transmissions in Chicago are UHF. The one exception, the CBS affiliate, WBBM, transmits in low-band VHF. I live approximately 8 miles from the two towers. I hooked my HDTV up to our 25+ years old outdoor antenna and recieved all the channels, most with 80-95% signal strength. CBS was the one exception. Its strength was down around 50 over the summer and recently we would lose it altogether. After much research, I decided to replace the old antenna with the TERK HDTs. When it arrived and I read the owners manual, I found one piece of information not on this or other websites that might have caused me to buy something else. This antenna is weakest in the low-band VHF range. suffice to say my sudden fear proved right. After must hassle in mounting the unit, I flipped on the TV and found that I was getting all the UHF signals just fine, but now instead of getting CBS some of the time, I was getting that station none of the time. I was better off with my 25+ old antenna and the money I spent on the TERK is a total waste.
Free Local HD, Can't beat it!!!.......2007-09-28
I would recomend this to anyone who is looking for local HD channels and lives with-in about 25 miles of their local tower. I am running it through my dishnetwork 662dvr which enables me to record HD programing from my OTA HD antenna. I got it primarily to watch Football in HD with and it hasn't disappointed anyone, but maybe my wife, because that is all that I do on the weekends. I live about 20 miles from the signal tower, and I have 100% strength on all channels except ABC which I have 70%. Locally our ABC isn't brodcast yet in HD anyway, but 70% signal would bring it in.
