 A Great Indoor Antenna August 9, 2008
I had tried to use my old antenna, but it would not pick up many TV digital stations. The Terk TV5 is very effective in receiving the new digital signals.
 Good antenna for the price August 8, 2008
I purchased this antenna in early 2007. As of today (8-8-08), I'm able to pick up at least 19 digital US channels and 2 digital Mexican channels on my Polaroid 32" HDTV (I live 8 miles away from the border). CBS and NBC have strong signals, while with ABC, I have to move the antenna around a bit to find the best spot. Moving the antenna means I have to readjust it for the Mexican digital channels. The NBC signal is strong as sometimes I can watch their 2 digital channels with no antenna. Regular rabbit ears are useless for digital channels where I live. I don't know why the government sponsored DTV commercials say: "All you need is the same antenna you are using to watch over-the-air channels". I haven't tried any other antenna to get ABC, but I recently purchased a rooftop antenna for my second TV.
 Not as advertised August 1, 2008
This product is one of the worst I have ever purchased. It sounded so good with many features. What I found was that there was no difference in the received signal was the same no matter what mode the unit was placed in. The gain control video switch had no affect on the received signal. It does have noticeable directivity. it was very disappointing as the unit looks well constructed.
 Looks Good on Top of the TV July 30, 2008
Based on the glowing reviews I read about this product I guess I was expecting too much. After trying the antenna in several locations around the room, I went back to my old rabbit ears (markedly better reception than the Terk --- even for local HD stations) and then moved the Terk to a another set in the house. Even there it made very little difference from what I was getting with a $10 set of ears from Wal-Mart. Decided to keep the Terk, however, since I expect to eventually move and hope it will work better in a new local not surrounded by trees.
Works for me! July 14, 2008
Item came and when it was all set up was WAY larger than I had anticipated. Works well and defiantely does the trick. The only problem was trying to find a spot for it. My roommate went out and bought one too when she saw that mine worked. The success of this product is defined by the area you live in and the signals available- I live in NYC so it is great!
