Terk HDtv Antenna Amplified Reviews
after a terk 5 indoor, and buying a monster antenna that came missing parts from. this even fits the direct tv mast that was left when i quit the service and vowed to only view over the air tv, hdtv looks great and its free. free is good.happy in dayton ohioTerk HDtv Antenna Amplified the terk hdtno antenna has solved the problems of fluctuating reception. hh greg,and a couple of rabbit ears that did little of their claims,i am happy.
This thing found 30 Digital channels. Only cost me an extra dollar to get. I made sure to find an area that wasnt blocked by trees or homes. All other ch's come in @ 80-100 % on my vip 622 box. Can almost get CBS 2, but they are switching to a new tower in Feb.
My area is violet, this was rated at blue but didn't want to install one of those old school big antennas so I thought I would give this one try.
I bought this so I didn't have to pay Dish Network for my locals and get better quality (seems they get their locals from comcast and it gets compressed again#.
I used a compass to get me in the general direction, then did some adjusting after that to get the best signal.
I am in zip code 60041, 43 miles from towers.
If mounting on roof need to get new screws that are fully threaded so it will grab into roof solid.
Take your time and buy quality Quad Shield RG6 coax and this thing will treat you well.
Anyone who says this thing doesnt work must have hooked something up wrong.
The mounting screws that were supplied had the top half unthreaded.
I installed it on the top of my garage and then installed the power injector in the attic of the garage #the amp is in the antenna itself).
It does tell you in the directions that you may purchase a mast locally if theirs does not work. I mounted about 2 feet about the eve of my roof. I had to make some modifications to the mount in order to get the antenna level, but I am a mechanic and was able to adapt it without too much difficulty. I got about 50 local channels after installion. I am about 40 miles from the stations. Excellent picture on all channels.
I think my roof is a 4/12 pitch, but I am not real sure of that. The only problem I had was my roof slope did not work with the adapter. (About 10 ft above ground level). I am very happy after the installation.
We are not avid tv watchers, so the stations we get are plenty and now we don't have to pay for cable. The orientation of the antenna is important also. I'm sure a huge outdoor antenna would have worked well also, but they are unsightly and too big for the attic. We read many reviews - all mixed - so we decided to try it out and were very pleased with the results. I have a feeling that some of those who had a bad experience with this antenna may have forgotten that you have to have a tv with the digital converter built in, or a converter box for the older tv's.
My inside antenna works better and is more reliable. You would think because it's outside & up higher you would get a great signal.wrong.
