Good price for intended use

Helped me out when channel was blocked on DISH
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DISH and Media General (owner of my NBC affiliate) had issues with each other and the local NBC was blocked for about six weeks. I purchased the TERK based on a Best Buy employee recommendation. The TERK found not only my NBC affiliate, but about 22 other channels---some which came from another TV market. Haven't used it much since, but I have access to many HDTV sub channels, which include a few channels not carried by DISH.

Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 3rd antenna I tried. It has twice the signal distance the others did. It picks up 2 more channels than the others, but not all of them. Only about 4 of the 12 within the 50 mile radius it claims to reach. Compared to the others, it is a better signal but not what I hoped for.

It's ok..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn't work for my needs. If you aren't by a window, it won't pick up a signal that's 45 miles away...

Works great!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This creates a beautiful, better than cable picture for your basic channels. There are many extra channels mostly not in English. If you speak a different language in the home than English, this could be a huge bonus for your home. We recommend!

Clear HD signal
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy set-up and clear channels. However, according to maps I should have more channels available. Only reason not 5-star review is you can't manually ADD a channel. For example, I know what the channel number is I want to view but I can't manually add it to view. The only option is auto-channel search.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Finding out about what the range of the antenna allows should have been the first thing I considered.

Can get many channels, great HD!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can get a great number of channels with this antenna. And the HD channels seem even more clear compared to when I was paying for HD channels. I love not having to pay a cable bill too!

Antenna Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Antenna is great when close to transmitters. I think the amplifier could be stronger and would only add to the antenna's strength. For people who live close to a big city I think this antenna would be suitable for an apartment of a spare bedroom saving money spent on an expensive cable hookup.

Great antenna
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had to play with the placement but when I found the right spot the reception is awesome. Excellent choice for great TV reception if you don't want to pay for an extra cable box.

Generally works well...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have this antenna connected to A/C and a TV on a second floor with the Terk in a window. When there is no wind, just about all the local stations come in without problems. However, in strong wind with trees blowing, reception declines except on the strongest and nearest broadcasters.

Great for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I live in an apartment community facing a bunch of trees, and this brings in every channel except for one (ABC). The channels are clear, crisp, and the HD picture rivals that of cable or dish.

More expensive does not equal better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this over another cheaper antenna because I was told it was stronger and would get better reception. Not a good antenna if you have neighbors. Attic or outside antenna only way to go if neighboring house is < 15 feet apart. Some channels were clear and came in great, so assuming it would better suit people living on acreage.

Good omni-directional performance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Antenna provided good Omni-directional performance by picking up several additional channels. However as expected, signal strength was diminished somewhat on distant channels

Overpriced for what I got
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in to buy a Roku3 and a TV antenna of some sort a few weeks ago after cutting my cable. I had originally hooked up an old amplified antenna with rabbit ears I bought about 9 years ago but was having trouble picking up some of the major networks all the time. It was suggested by one of the salesmen that this antenna would solve all of my problems! He told me that he had just sold one to his sister who lived in a similar area as me and she got ALL of the local channels. I fell for it. I took it home, and set it up as high up and as close to a window facing the towers as possible (as recommended by the instructions). It did little to no better than my old, cheap antenna from the past. Not worth the $80 I paid. Returned it ASAP.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did the job I got 27 channels after placing in window and believe would pick up more if build was not across courtyard or if lived on higher floor. Picture is clear
