Not the best reception or cost. Try Philips.,
By Proxlie (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terk Hdr-I High-Definition Indoor Radio Antenna (Electronics)
My HD radio is a Sony XDR-S3HD. So this comparison is only true for this radio and my location (just north of Washington DC). I tried the accompanying wire and dipole antennas first, and then tried this Terk HDRI Antenna and a Philips Magnavox MANT-110 Indoor Passive Antenna. The Terk box says it is specifically for HD radio. The Philips box says it is for VHF/UHF/FM/HDTV.
The dipole worked best overall of the two included with the Sony but I experienced a number of drops when there was movement, either by myself or even my cats, on the far side of the antenna relative to the general direction of the station's tower that I was tuned into. The Terk (with the gain set to the maximum) and the Philips both worked better in this regard resulting in practically no drops in the same scenarios. The Terk costs 36.14 on sale; the Philips costs 9.99. So the Philips wins on price. Here's the shocking thing. When I tried to tune into WAMU-HD3 or WTOP-HD3 or WCPS-HD3, the Terk had trouble picking up the signal unless I was positioned just right in the room (for example, if I was 5 feet from the antenna but not 3 feet, or if my TV was on, or...). The Philips has no problem picking up these stations regardless! This makes the Terk very much a disappointment. The Terk did not pick up any additional HD channel 2 stations compared with the Philips (the ones I can't pick up currently on a regular basis are WWWT, WPGC, WBIG and WPRS). So if you're having problems with the wire or dipole antenna, then my suggestion is to pick up the Philips or some other cheap indoor FM antenna and forgo spending money on this overpriced Terk.

No Improvement with Boston Acoustics HD Radio,

This review is from: Terk Hdr-I High-Definition Indoor Radio Antenna (Electronics)
I enjoy my Boston Acoustics HD Radio. I ordered this product hoping it would improve reception over the separate AM and FM antennas which came with the radio. No such luck. Reception was generally the same or slightly worse on some channels. So if you have a Boston Acoustics radio, maybe consider an outside antenna rather than this indoor unit.

Absolutely no improvement whatsoever, only disadvantages,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Terk Hdr-I High-Definition Indoor Radio Antenna (Electronics)
This unit, at its max. gain setting, pulls in ZERO additional HD channels. Existing ones are not improved either. It's totally useless. To make things worse, it requires AC power, but for what? To lit the white LED light in front for show? Seriously, it draws electricity for WHAT purpose if it doesn't improve reception ONE SINGLE BIT? Avoid at all cost.
