The high-performance HDTVa amplified indoor HDTV antenna from Terk Technologies is designed to capture both UHF and VHF signals (channels 2 to 69) while extending the reception range for all local HDTV broadcasts. The HDTVa uses an ultra-low-noise, high-gain amplifier with Terk’s exclusive Dual-Drive Amplifier technology for clear reception of both distant and close HDTV and DTV stations. As suitable for those living in city apartments as for those in suburban homes, the compact HDTVa lets viewers experience HDTV broadcasts in full resolution. Designed for total reception versatility, the HDTVa’s high-gain antenna array can be oriented either horizontally or vertically within its mounting base to achieve optimum capture of off-air broadcasts. Set the amplifier to high-gain mode to compensate for signals that are too weak or might otherwise be bypassed for a stronger signals nearby. Simplifying your installation, the HDTVa uses Terk’s Power Injector to derive power via its coaxial connecting cable. The result? One cable is all you have to connect, making it easy to install the HDTVa atop or near your television. The antenna is engineered to receive all local HDTV channels, with an operating bandwidth covering both the UHF (channels 2 to 13) and VHF (channels 14 to 69) frequency ranges. Its highly directional log periodic UHF and precision VHF elements are designed to receive HDTV broadcasts with maximum signal strength while rejecting all or most interference (more…)

Good reception
All the channels come in clear but will still pixel out once in a while but no big deal. Easy connection and set up.

The antenna, although not the most attractive or low profile, did greatly improve my digital reception.

Too much trouble
I bought this because it was top rated. There was no position where I could be assured that any station would have a signal.

It appears to work for me!
Being an ex TV DX-er, I think it’s a shame that because of all this DTV stuff, that were now meant to be excited JUST to get LOCAL channels clearly without cable!!

Great Directional Antenna, But Did Not Work in our Situation
Having heard mixed results about this antenna, we ordered it for older parents who hadn’t upgraded their bedroom location to satellite.

Works about as good as standard bunny ears
I bought this antenna right when the transition happened from analog to digital. I dropped my cable because I mostly just watch network TV and I live in Los Angeles where there…

Terk not the answer for everyone
This antenna performed well in a central city Chicago house, capturing more channels with better reception than my old rabbit ears; however, it failed to work at all at houses in…

terk or turkey?
The Terk HDTVa antenna seems an adaquate reception device for an indoor antenna recieving over the air digital signals.

Best indoor model
I’ve tried a few antennas with varied levels of success, the Terk HDTV-a seems to be the most consistent at receiving all of the stations and locking them in.

Amazingly powerful for such a small size
Replaced a Clearstream C4 with this one. Being that my UHF channels come in from one direction and upper VHF from another this was a perfect setup.
