Wired Antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This antenna is fine but only works on good weather days which where I live is haphazard to say the least. We thought we were going to be getting all the channels within a 65 mile range and with the mountains in the way we get maybe 18 at best.

Great for the suburbs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cut the Verizon/Frontier cable cord and did the broadband/Roku/OTA solution. In DFW there are lots of stations, but rabbit ears don't work anymore. Don't waste your time. /Digital I played with where to place the antenna, since the directions (away from electronics & facing south) was a challenge. I finally put it against the window, and I get every station known to man. Dislikes: comes with a cable, but it's too short so I have to use a barrel connector. I'd rather hook my own cable all the way to the antenna. No double sided tape to attach it to the inside of a window. Likes: Reception, amplifier cord is at the TV end of the cable, where it's easy to hook up to USB power/use the adapter.

Didn't work for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This review is based on my experience. Your experience could be different. The antenna is easy to install, however I didn't get anything on it. Probably because I have a two story house and used it downstairs and not near any windows.

Escape the cable cost
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn't going to pay this much for an antenna, but thought it would be worth the money. I was a little disappointed that another one I bought for another room was less than 20$ and I get the same amount of channels as I do on the 80$ Terk .

Worth the Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Brings in about 12 channels fairly consistently, some in HD. Must move around room in order to obtain best performance for each channel. I would strongly recommend the self-supporting model with a stand in order to achieve this. A good value for the dollar.

DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU ARE AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good unit compared to cheaper quality ones I have had in the past. We use these antennae on several TVs throughout the house. Quality of signal depends on weather. On good days, you get a strong signal ant the picture is HDTV. Other times, weather will deteriorate the quality of signal picked up. Channel selection is NOT consistent. Sometimes you can get 31 channels, Sometimes 40, Sometimes 16 in the area that we are in. Worth the money, but do NOT expect consistency every day.

If you live in the city this may work for you.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We tried it, hooked it up, followed directions live within 60 of the 70 mile radius needed to work and nothing not one channel came in. Very upsetting to read the packaging and feel like this time this one will work. Would like to say since there is no on switch you dont know if its actually working or not. It is also a bit large to try to get near a window, so take that into consideration when buying. Hope it works for those who live near the towers cause we get no signal out here in the middle of nowhere.

Adequate but not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Feels cheap, claims to have extended range but I had to move the tv closer to a window to get better reception. I could have done that with $5 rabbit ear antenna.

Picture is much better than I expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In my quest to cut the cord, I bought a Terk HD antenna. I bought the 60 mile radius as all network towers are within that range. I was very surprised at the picture quality. It’s great! Before you buy, check with Terk customer service. By your zip code, they can tell you the channels in your range. I did not buy a TiVo to record broadcasts even though I watch everything time shifted except the news. I subscribed to Hulu With Live TV and view all of previous episodes through that. I have cut the cord after going 6 weeks with this setup.
