Terk HDTVi for HDTV (HDTVA) - Excellent Reception and Solid Design for Free HDTV

by dkozin dkozin is a Lead on Epinions in Electronics, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Feb 17 '08
Pros: Excellent performance, reasonable price, looks nice, does not take too much space
Cons: Not very stable foundation
First, I need to point out that Terk HDTVi and HDTVa is not the same antenna. The HDTVa is the HDTVi with amplification. With this little detail taken care of, I have to say both work amazingly well. I live in a concrete building with no direct ...

Terk HDTVa Antenna Does the Job

by longjourney , Jun 22 '09
Pros: Receives and amplifies TV signals well.
Cons: Bulky, strange looking.
Well, the great digital conversion of 2009 has forced a change in our household. My wife likes to watch TV while she fixes dinner, usually the evening news on ABC, so we have a small TV sitting on the bar alongside the kitchen. This TV isn't connected to ...

Improved Reception

Cons: Base small, requires power even when amplification off, switch inconvenient location, no coaxial connection, pricey.
This is for the Terk HDTVA Antenna Pro.First, I was originally using a Gemini VHF/UHF antenna connected to a Zenith digital converter box which is connected to a Panasonic standard CRT TV.My location for the old analog signals provided ...

Unplug your cable and get digital TV

by smoke11 , Nov 08 '08
Pros: Excellent reception (your mileage may vary), attractive design. 
Cons: A slightly unstable base. I have mine on the floor: no problems. 
If you want to save some serious money, unplug your cable, buy a converter box and hook up an antenna. You may be surprised at what you see: incredible, vibrant pictures - even on a conventional tube-based TV - and many more channels.   I ...

It Works!

by woody2 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 03 '09
Pros: Affordable, effective, and easy to use.
Cons: Very difficult to stand up on it's own. 
It's always nice to find a product that does it's basic task well enough to justify the purchase.  With devices like this, there's always some anxiety that you're about to completely waste the entire purchase price of an item, or at the very least, ...

Cons: A bit top heavy, Coax cable routing on back of base not secure.
I initially bought an RCA “HD” Antenna (Model # ANT525) have had some issues with the reception. Particularly on channel 13 (CBS) & channel 19-1. The straw that broke the camel’s back was during the NFL playoffs & the game was only on CBS. I ...

Terk did a good job with this one

by jn_owensboro , Apr 13 '08
Pros: Not terribly expensive, draws in lots of stations, sleek looking
Cons: Fairly unstable, a bit too "styled" for its own good
About four years ago, I bought a Sanyo HDTV set. That set is long gone (and is a story worthy of its own telling), but the antenna I bought for it is still around and still providing me with digital TV reception. I knew very little about antennas and ...

Great Backup for Cable Outages

by wdsnls , Sep 09 '08
Pros: Pulls in digital channels over 40 miles away
Cons: Stability of base could be improved
This is a review for the Terk HDTVi Antenna Pro without amplification. My reason for purchasing this was to be able to view OTA TV when my cable is out. Living in south Florida during the 2004 and 2005 hurricanes, I was without cable for over a week ...

I am a big skeptic...but, this thing actually works!!!!!

by sumal2k8 , Sep 08 '08
Pros:

It works really well.


Cons: Base is unstable. Price. Will return to BestBuy and purchase online.


Well, this antenna made a believer out of a skeptic. I was able to watch every channel that http://www.antennaweb.org reported that I should receive. Most of the recommendations from the website recommended a large high powered outdoor antenna. I ...

This is the right HD antenna for me!

by fasstln , Mar 07 '07
Pros: I thought it small, attractive, easy assembly, great reception, and price.
Cons: Could fall over easily (tipsy)
Keep in mind that in purchasing the antenna my only hope was to get the major 4 channels in HD (ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox). I do not care about analog channels because I have regular satellite that will bring those to me with a better picture than an ...

When the digital conversion comes...

by edbudzil , Jun 08 '08
Pros: Great reception, solid construction and Museum of Modern Art-worthy design.
Cons: Poor design of the base makes the unit unstable.
...I'll be ready. I live in Chicago in a two story frame house, about five miles from the transmitters. I bought an RCA converter box, hooked it up to my analog TV and it worked, except for constant pixelation (poor reception) on most channels. I was ...

Works good but there are cheaper options

by the_grizz , Dec 22 '08
Pros: UHF piece can be turned vertical to save space and for fine-tuning the reception.
Cons: Requires power and there are cheaper antennas on the market.
First, there is a lot you need to know before buying an antenna for HDTV. Here's a good resource: http://www.hdtv-reception.com Basically, over the air digital signals are harder to receive than analog, and it's often all or nothing. You'll get a perfect ...

Great HD signal strength
by budman0028 ,Oct 05 '07
Pros: Great signal strength.
Cons: Looks kind of funny. Other than that I love it.
Let me start by saying I live about 30-40 miles from my "local" tv antenna towers in a rural area and I didn't want to put up a outside tower. So I thought I'd try my luck with this indoor HD antenna. Great choice I made. It picks up the stations really really well. I was pretty excited with how well it did in fact. I would definitely recommend this antenna to anyone within the 40 mile range. My Satellite installer said that he had a 50' tower and he didn't pick up the channels any better than I did. That's impressive I think.
