 Rabbit ears October 12, 2008
It was as good as any on the market. Still could not get but one or two channels.
 missing parts October 6, 2008
The antenna is great, pulls in more stations than my old rabbit ears BUT, on delivery, was missing a critical part. I contacted Audiovox and they sent a part, but it was the WRONG PART. I contacted Audiovox again; their customer service tried to convince me I didn't know what I was talking about. Finally, after multiple transfers and being kept on hold, their technical support division backed me up and I was mailed the right part. This took two weeks!!
 Typical rabbit ears - it works but nothing special September 30, 2008
The Terk TV-1 is your typical rabbit ears that works if you are in a good reception area and it does picks up HD. I have used two other antennas - a small portable $5 antenna and a $30 amplified antenna. My smaller antenna picked up all the HD channels I needed except NBC. The Terk did pick up NBC, but only if you orient it in a certain direction. However, the Terk wasn't as good as a $30 amplified antenna I used to have which picked up more channels than the Terk.
One annoying thing about the Terk is the adapter it comes with that goes into your TV's coaxial plug. It doesn't screw into the coaxial plug properly, but rather you just have to try to squeeze it on the TV and it doesn't fit perfectly. The antenna still works fine, but I think they could have just made a regular adapter that screws onto the TV.
Basic and Sturdy September 23, 2008
As "rabbit ear" antennas go this is most likely one of the best built I've ever seen. The base is heavy enough to make-up a littlebit for being so narrow. If space is an issue this is a good choice for a basic antenna. The reception is mediocre and a bit inconsistant. I've tuned in Digital and analog signals with this antenna. Compared to other passive antennas I'f used it seemed that this one required more "fussing about" to get things tuned in at all three locations where I tried it.
If you're not more the 10 miles or so from your source and you don't mind fiddling with the antenna for each station you want to tune in this is a well-built choice for an execptionally simple antenna.
 Impressive September 5, 2008
I don't know if the DTV signal in my area is that strong or the antenna is working that great. The picture is clear and sometime even better than cable. Most local channels are 720p and very few in 1080p. The regular TV is above average too. Tha is good enough for me.
