I was sooooo excited when this thing got to my door about 20 minutes ago.
Now I am sooooo disappointed. I’m upset that I spent money on this.
I call myself upgrading to an omnidirectional antenna. I had a Terk amplified antenna on there in the first place. The performance was okay; it got a little better after the transition (the Terk Low-Profile Indoor Antenna (TV5)) but alas, I wanted to have the perfect picture. I went to retail store and saw this one (salesman said, “I don’t get any of these returned”), went online and found Amazon had the better deal.
Well I hooked it up and I got more “No Signal” messages, more pixelation, and more absent pictures than with my original Terk…on a station that even the non powered rabbit ears could pull! I’m heated right now. I tried adjusting it with no success. And while it is flat, it doesn’t allow for versatility. The construction feels flimsy so if the best signal is on top of the tv then I’m in trouble because it will surely fall and break into pieces. I think I want my money back. And to think this costs more than my other antenna! What a f-in rip off.

I bought this hoping to get channel Fox 11 in wisconsin.
I have the Terk HDTVa antenna also both have the same reception.
Both are good antenna’s. Just wish Fox had not messed with their transmitter.
Was able to get the HD signal prior to the June 12 change over date.
Many of their customers I have talked to are no longer able to view Fox 11 in HD.
Maybe some day they will listen to their customers. I have email and called repeated times that they have a problem.
For those looking to by this antenna it’s a very good antenna.

I received the product and the reception is good. The only problem is that the package was missing the mounting screws to attach it to the enclosed stand. I figured this would be simple to get from the company so I sent them an email. Six (6) weeks later I got a response informing me they can’t find any screws to send me, but I should have no trouble getting them at a hardware store.

Better than rabbit ears but don’t expect too much. The only way to ensure better reception is to move closer to the signal.

Antenna provides great reception. Only knocks are the design of the amplifier (makes it hard to hide on a wall mounted tv) and my box lacked mounting screws (terk customer service provided the screws free of charge).
