Pros: Descent reception, indoor/outdoor mountable, great for RV’s and apartments, non-obtrusive design, 3 mounts provided.
Cons: Still not as good as a large/ugly aerial.
Summary: I bought this HDTV antenna to compliment my DirecTV HDTV receiver. At the time I bought the Terk 55, CBS was the only network channel broadcast in HDTV by DirecTV. So since I was spending money, why not spend a little more on a HDTV antenna . ... read more

Pros: Great Reception, easily mounted in many different ways, wind resistance, size.
Cons: May need a rotator.

Pros: Compact size, understandable instructions, included mounting hardware.
Cons: Price(in retail stores).
Summary: I currently subscribe to DirecTV, but in Tucson, AZ there is no local channel support so I installed a Terk 42 antenna that clips to the DirecTV dish, this was fine for most channels, but not all. So I upgraded to a Terk TV-55 and have been amazed at ... read more

Pros: Can be placed nearly anywhere. Lots of mounting brackets included.
Cons: Very poor quality build and poor signal strength for the price.
Summary: I just got a new HDTV, so I ran out to Radio Shack first and bought the best antenna they had for about $40. I plugged it in, did a channel scan, and only got three stations. "I need more power" I thought. So I bought the TV55 at Best Buy for $99. ... read more

Pros: None
Cons: The WORST antenna I have ever used.
Too expensive for its pathetic performance.
Summary: I had just purchased an HDTV tuner and I wanted to get an antenna. Since I live less than 10 miles from Chicago, I figured just about any antenna would do.
I started with a generic set of rabbit ears. They worked okay. Channels would come in ... read more

Pros: Slick and compact, easy to install
Cons: Poor reception
Summary: TERK TV55 is a slick antenna that is just not up to its billing. Its manual states that this antenna was “designed for both single and multi-family homes”. The sales person made it sound like you could just stick the antenna outside, if you should so
