Product Description
The age of digital TV is here. It's no longer a dream of the future. With it, over time, more TV stations will be broadcasting HDTV signals. If you want excellent over-the-air television reception, this TERK HD-TVi Indoor HDTV Antenna is the accessory you need now.TERK HD-TVi -- The acknowledged leader in antenna technology has just introduced their first-ever Indoor HDTV Antenna. The high performance HDTVi is the only indoor antenna that receives both UHF and VHF signals (channels 2 - 69), providing reception of all local HDTV broadcasts.

Amazon.com Product Description
With over 1,000 stations in more than 200 markets broadcasting digital television as of 2003, 9 out of 10 households can now receive free high-definition (HDTV) signals when using the right antenna in conjunction with an integrated HDTV (or with a set-top box and an HD-ready television). Most antennas are large and unwieldy and need to be mounted outdoors or in a cramped attic. This is not an option if you live in an apartment or condo, or if you don't want the hassle of installing an antenna yourself. The solution? A quality indoor antenna that can pick up all local HDTV channels; one that will look great next to your television, and one that is easy to install: Terk's HDTVi indoor antenna.

At the time of its release, the HDTVi was (and may yet be) the only indoor HDTV antenna optimized for both UHF and VHF reception, channels 2 to 69. The HDTVi elegantly solves the aesthetic challenge of integrating a log-periodic-type element assembly in an indoor antenna. It's tuned for optimum HDTV reception with a unique design that uses log-periodic elements and dipoles for receiving both UHF and VHF HDTV broadcasts, bringing you more stations than lesser antennas.

You can easily route the antenna's output cable in 2 directions (front or back) for flexible cable management, and the antenna connects easily to your set-top box or television (integrated HDTV--with built-in ATSC tuner--required for direct connection).

Its high gain picks up distant stations and its high back-to-front ratio rejects unwanted signals. You can mount the UHF antenna element vertically or horizontally, as experience dictates.

What's in the Box
Antenna with integrated 75-ohm cable, instruction manual, and warranty information.

4 out of 5 stars Third try worked   July 31, 2010

4 out of 5 stars An improvement over rabbit ears.   July 28, 2010
J. Edgar Mihelic (Chicago)
We live by an airport but close to some very powerful broadcast towers. However, we have had some problems since the transition to digital TV. In the old SD times, a plane would fly over and the picture would go a bit fuzzy. Since the HDTV and digital transition, a plane would fly over and the picture would go block-y or disappear, like a DVD with a bad scratch.

After doing some research, I picked this antenna for its price and the positive reviews. For our purposes, it had been an improvement over the standard rabbit ears we had. Signal interference is much decreased and my wife and I are pleased.

I would be more pleased if I could convince my wife to just get cable, but we do get plenty of channels to distract us from other things just on free over-the-air programming. This antenna will perhaps help fill the void in your soul, like it has mine.



3 out of 5 stars It works just not for the station I wanted   July 10, 2010
Ryan S Svihla (SAN ANTONIO, TX, US)
I had purchased this to watch the NBA playoffs without having to go to the local bar. Sports being the only thing I suffer with when it comes to forgoing Cable. However this was the one thing I could not receive with the antenna that was available in my area ,thereby rendering my purchase pointless for now (hopeful come college football season I'll get to watch some games at home).

For the product itself, I was impressed at the number of stations I was able to receive even though I found them random in performance. Some stations would come and go through the week. Overall I'm satisfied that it's a decent product and I know my issues have more to do with the area I live and my building type. I'm in a townhouse in San Antonio from the 60's with thick stucco walls, and no outside facing windows in the living room. So I didn't think my chances were great.

Final point, the rabbit ears are VERY long making it quite hard to hide away in the corner.

Its a substantial sized object. Without any electrical connections it pulls in tv signal with ease.its unidirectional so you are gonna have to aim it just right. It works very well for the price. I would recommend this antenna for anyone. It works that well.
