Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Terk Technology TV-1 Passive Indoor TV Antenna
Customer Review: Best unit I've seen
Summary: 4 Stars
I got these just in time for the Super Bowl and the picture was clear enough to invite friends over. This despite the fact that our local FOX affiliate is on UHF and I didn't attach the UHF loop antenna (my TV has no connection for it).
Of our 6 local channels, this antenna picks up 4 very well without any adjustments, and the other 2 come in reasonably well after adjustment. Additionally the comments about the short connection wire are significant, it really limits positioning of the unit.
I should note that I got a second set for a friend who has trouble with local reception and they didn't help him much at all.
Customer Review: Works really well
Summary: 5 Stars
I honestly didn't think this antenna would work as well as it does. I bought it hoping I'd be able to watch local broadcast channels with only a few lines, instead of full-screen snow, and it actually gives me picture clarity equal to what I got with cable. The UHF antenna is supposed to plug directly into your tv (I think this assumes your tv was made a long time ago), which wasn't an option with my set, but it turns out I don't need it anyway; channels in the 50s and 60s come in just as well as lower ones. It's also a pretty small unit with a sort of retro 50s design, so it's not an eyesore. Great antenna, especially for the price!Customer Review: Sometimes simple is best
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these for a little used old style TV and it worked well. When I got a new Sony Bravia HD TV I did not think it would do much but I was very surprised to find that it got 28 non-HD TV stations and about 42 HD TV stations. Most of them with first-rate pictures! I live about 8 miles for a mountain hilltop where the TV stations broadcast from so maybe that is why it works so well. But for the price it seems perfect.
I set the Terk up on top of my rather high refrigerator and ran some 300 Ohm coxial cable to the kitchen TV so you can't see it! I ordered 4 more to put them on other TVs.
Customer Review: Surprisingly Good
Summary: 4 Stars
As others have mentioned, this antenna is surprisingly good. Unpacked it and hooked it up. Received 40 local channels on my HDTV tuner (I AM, admittedly, very close to the local transmitter). As effective as the antenna is, I didn't like the idea of its shiny big antennae sitting out next to my nice new monitor. So, I went down to the shop and bought a "high tech" HDTV low profile GE amplified antenna. Got it home, hooked it up and got...HALF THE CHANNELS I GOT WITH THE TERK ANTENNA! The channels I got kept fading in and out. I'm returning the "high tech" antenna tomorrow and keeping my Terk rabbit ears.Customer Review: Don't let the low price fool you, this is HIGH QUALITY for Little $
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want to receive free digital local channels for your new high end flat screen, you don't need a $200 antenna. This $9.99 one does the trick and does it well.
Gets about 30 digital channels free. A co-worker also bought a new tv, but he went the extra mile and bought a $50 fancy antenna, took him hours to setup only to find out it doesn't work well. This one took a total of 30 seconds to setup, pull out of box, stick in cable, done. HD Digital TV is ready for your enjoyment absolutely free.
At the bargain price of $9.99, do not pass up this great deal.
