Bought this antenna 2 weeks ago. High hopes. Clearly defective! After climbing all over the roof to install, it brought in no stations. Put tiny bow tie antenna on the same cable and got 10 digital and 8 analog–although not as crisp as one would wish. Replaced with a $25 Radio Shack antenna and it’s outstanding. Amazon return department was just terrific.
Thanks —- but don’t bother with Terk.

Don’t buy.If you do, don’t put it outside.I can’t get diddly squat out of it and don’t live that far from a transmitting tower.You get a poor pitiful ‘power booster”,a box of screws and an antenna that is definitely not made for the outdoors. For the price you don’t even get a cable to connect to your t.v. Not even a three foot cable. What a rip off. Rabbit ears are better and aren’t always falling over.Believe me , I’ve struggled with it over two months now and have decided it’s garbage.Maybe you’ll have better luck.

This item did not work for me, tho may for others. (See other reviews here.) HOWEVER, in preparing to return it to Amazon, it broke. It broke because ONCE YOU OPEN THE ANTENNA ARMS, THEY CAN’T BE CLOSED AGAIN. But you need to close them to ship it. The fault of the breakage was mine (trying too hard). But be warned that if you open it up and find you need to return it, you can’t do it in the original box. Perhaps a much larger one (and much higher shipping price due to increased size of the shipping box) and assuming you don’t overdo your attempt to close it in order to try to use the original, nicely designed box. So, in my opinion, this is either a design fault or a very poor manual that doesn’t tell you that you are stuck with it open.

I don’t want to say that this product doesn’t work properly. We live in an apartment building and can’t point the antenna directly at the stations. I can say that it doesnt work any better than the $40 indoor antenna we purchased from Radio Shack. We put the cheap antenna out on the window sill, and the rain kiled it. But the reception with the cheapo antenna was no better or worse than with this product.
We live on the 4th floor of an 80-year-old five storey building. Our apartment faces east. I can direct the antenns north, but most transmitters are to the northwest.
I hate digital TV.

We returned this product for a refund as it did not work any better than the regular antenna we already have. In fact, our regular antenna worked better than this one when placed outdoors (from it’s previous location in the attic). This HDtv antenna did not work as well inside or out! Go figure.
