Good Antenna

Once I googled the correct site for the Terk locating guide on which direction to point it, it was great. It gives a degree reading (for example, it told me to point my antenna at 156 degrees) so get a compass or use your smartphone.

Very good reception out of the box ; All you have to do is point it towards the nearest broadcast tower - little to no adjustment needed after pointing it at the tower

Delivers with old manual version instructing you to go to an outdated website

Good antenna for a good price, poor design

It's still a good price, and it receives really well if you play around with it.

good price ; sleek look ; seemingly powerful: I bought two, and one is hidden in the log pass-through in my massive stone fireplace. I get perfect reception of UHF and VHF channels even with the VHF antennas only half-extended

design: It's incredibly top-heavy, and the coax cable is stiff enough to pull it over

Pretty dang good

Worth the money, just took me a week to figure out why I was getting such low FPS at first. If you are using an NVidia mobo, be sure you sweep the drivers off first!!!

Excellent antenna, I live in a large city and it picks up all the channels beautifully. I watched the whole Olympics without a problem

Excellent HD Antenna

Got MORE channels with this antenna than my older UHF/VHF antenna. Live in a large suburb east of Dallas on the edge of Dallas County. Got close to 60 digital channels including the major local channels in high quality. Looks great on the HDTV. Would...

Sleek design. Does what is it is supposed to do. UHF/VHF compatible. Long Cord

It was larger and bulkier than I expected it to be with the antenna attached

Terk HDTVi antenna

Don't buy this. It's not returnable

Nice styling

This doesn't work at all. Reception was actually worse than with my current antenna

Great Job

Would definitely recommend this to anybody who is in a similar situation

Arrived on time(as always). I am in a 4th floor apartment and this antenna does an absolutely beautiful job of picking up tv stations that are about 25-30 miles away. we get one from madison(60 miles) that comes in very good, but sometimes has...

The stand is not the sturdiest, but is fine. Still a 5 star product. The amplified version may be better, but being on the top floor i dont need it. It wont fall over unless you move it, but 99.9% of the time it just sits there.

Make sure to...

Probably does work for those closer to a tower.

Unfortunately, I was only able to get one station with this receiver. Every other station couldn't be found. I moved the antenna into every possible direction for about an hour before giving up. But, I DO live in a very rural area, so my closest...

Excellent OTA HDTV Solution

I purchased this in conjunction with a VisionTek TV Wonder 650 Combo USB for PC TV Tuner "Black Box" w/Remote, and use the two in combination. Newegg service is excellent.

It does a good job of pulling in terrestrial HDTV broadcast signals. It requires no external power.

The design is somewhat bulky, and a larger base footprint would add stability.
