Customer Review: Inaccurate Depiction of UHF
Summary: 1 Stars
WARNING:
I purchased the TV-1 because a local TV station went digital on an UHF channel. Previously the signal come through rabbit ears to a small TV. The station, by FCC regulation, changed from VHF (channel 6)to UHF (channel 15). The ad of the TV-1 does not show that an UHF loop is a separate piece. That piece must be attached with screws to the back of a TV set. As I recall UHF connections of this sort was possible on much older TV sets. I had purchased a new Samsung TV and there is no way I can attach the UHF loop. The TV-1 is worthless for my UHF use.
Customer Review: Improved Reception Under Difficult Conditions...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this unit with the intent to improve the picture quality of the analog set in my garage. The location is surrounded by cinderblocks and metal wall studs, and must be placed near the master circuit breaker panel. There are hills to the east and north that block signals from Orlando.
I found some improvement in VHS reception out of Orlando, but dramatic gains in the UHF, and surprising picture quality improvement in both bands out of Tampa.
For me, the cheap price is a good upgrade to my old rabbit ears, so I give it a full 5 stars!
Customer Review: Epiphany!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this antenna several months ago. We set up the rabbit ears but didn't have a place to connect the UHF loop. We were a little disappointed that we were only getting 2 channels. But college football bowl week motivated us to find a solution. My husband looked online at the product manual for our tv and discovered the solution was quite simple. All we had to do to get more channels was push the menu button on our remote then change the "tuning source" to "air" or "antenna". Boom instant Fiesta Bowl. Hope this helps someone out there who might also be stuck.Customer Review: Aerial HD signal is better than satellite TV!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this antenna two years ago and used it to watch local stations on my tube TV. I recently upgrade to a 40' flat screen HDTV and got a satellite dish. I have many HD channels now, but my local stations are only broadcast in standard definition. I was very disappointed about that and decided to hook up this antenna to my HDTV, and surprise, I get my local stations in HD over the air now, and the signal is just as good (I would almost say better) as any of the HD channels I get with my satellite dish! I didn't even know this antenna worked with HD signals...Customer Review: Terk TV Antenna
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this antenna so I could watch the local stations on my Dish Network Satellite receiver. It works great. I can now pick up all of my local channels through the Dish receiver. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the stations with weak signals lose the reception. But I think that is due to the weak signal of the local station, not due to the TV antenna itself. If you want to set up your satellite receiver to receive the local channels (and save $5.00 per month), buy this antenna. I paid $14 for the antenna and it is well worth the price.
