Easy set-up, works well.
Weather, especially some recent days of high air pollution, smoke, has some impact on reception. Overall, I am more than pleased. Obviously it is not as reliable as cable but I am saving $110. monthly and find this is a satisfactory option to unreasonable cable costs.
If I want, I am able to stream shows from my laptop via an hdmi cable with no problem, which provides me additional cable free options. So gar, I haven’t bothered, being content with the wide range of stations I get.

We have a cottage that has no access to cable, dish or Wi-Fi. Until recently, we mostly used the TV to watch DVDs. We had a "rabbit ear" antenna that we attempted to use on occasion to watch the news, but the reception/signal was so bad it wasn't worth turning on the TV. A friend recently cut her cable and purchased this antenna so she could watch local channels. She was very happy with it, so we thought we'd give it a try. We are VERY glad we did. While the number of stations available to us are limited by our physical location, the six we do get are clear as a bell, the pictures are sharp and bright and the sound is good. This is a monstrously huge improvement over the two "blizzards" we previously had almost-access to. We are very happy with this Terk antenna.

We have annopen field next door with lots of trees and old tree in front of our house so we can't get a full signal, other than our is a is with trees, it's a good buy. We'll work best where there aren't any trees.

The end of Customer Service as we know!

This review is about the absolute disastrous customer service that Best Buy provides their customers. In mid-June of 2024, I went to Best Buy and bought a TV, mount, sound bar and Blu-ray player. I chose Best Buy because I am disabled, and I am unable to hang a tv on the wall, and I knew Geek Squad could provide that service. The day of the installation, the Geek Squad called and canceled my appointment because my TV wasn’t at the warehouse. The gentleman with Geek Squad assured me that the store manger would be calling me to try and make things right. I had company in town, so I waited on the manager to call, but no one called. When I phoned the store, my call was immediately sent to a call center over seas. They were no help at all. After my company left town, I went to the store, no one at the customer service counter seemed to care what happened to the TV. There was no manger at the store at the time. They all mumbled with each other, finally one of them just shrugged and said, “Well, do you want a refund, or what?” Since I no longer had a tv in my living room, and I needed help with installation, I felt like I had no option but to pick a different tv, and try again. My wife and I picked out a different TV and left. A month later, the Geek Squad finally came and installed our TV. They were very professional and kind. I really appreciated their efforts. It was by far, the only thing even remotely professional about anything that the Best Buy at St. Matthews in Louisville Ky offered. As of early August, I’m still waiting for compensation gift card to show up in the mail. Sadly, at this point, I don’t have much confidence that will happen.
The brick and mortar stores are dying from self inflicted wounds. If you disrespect your customers to that degree, than won’t be back, and the store closes, it’s just that simple.

Great reception 40 miles out from the transmission towers in a hilly area with my newer LG. Flat and thin panel is very easy to mount on the wall with 2 push pins. Mounted near a window, but location did not matter much for us . Had a different antenna with a newer gen Sony and it failed to pull any channel, not sure if antennas work better with some TVs vs other?

Okay, but I understand there are better antennas you just have to do some research. Did not expect the surface to be so large.

I should buy it earlier to save a lot of money from TV services. Now, I can watch a great variety of channels on my TV for free. I bought it 2 years ago. I recommend it 100%.

Excellent antenna. Range is about 75 miles. Download the accompanying app and find the best direction to point the antenna. Able to use electricity from TV so don't need to plug antenna into electrical outlet separately.

Might work well some places but not my location. It is attractive and easy to install but has not worked well. Cuts out every 3-5 minutes some days. Other days it might hold a signal for an hour.

TERK-Amplified Antenna Review

I purchased this item so that I could watch the MLB World Series on Fox. It worked great in my area, and we have used it several times to watch local channels. You can pick up different channels by relocating the antenna.
