Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The limitations of satellite TV have often revolved around local programming, which satellite providers occasionally don't offer (depending on where you live) or charge for on a per-receiver basis. The Terk TV44 amplified TV antenna remedies this impasse by giving dish owners free, constant access to all programming transmitted over the local airwaves, including HD channels and community stations. The antenna installs easily--simply clip it on your existing satellite dish (no tools required) and it's ready to go. Once installed, its high-quality internal amplifier minimizes signal loss, further aiding the antenna's highly tuned and efficient receiving elements. The end result is the best reception possible whether you're enjoying VHF or UHF stations or HD channels. The TV44 is also weather-resistant, meaning it doesn't wear down easily.

The antenna is compatible with all mini-dish systems (which generally measure 18 by 20 or 24 inches) with dual LNBs. It also comes with all the necessary cables.

What's in the Box

1.0 out of 5 stars Incompatible with single receiver systems, October 26, 2005

Nowhere in the description or packaging does it say that this antenna requires a satellite multiswitch. A multiswitch is used for systems using more than 1 TV/receiver. The antenna amplification comes from the satellite multiswitch, and without amplification, this antenna is no better than a pair of simple rabbit ears.

This antenna may work great for those with multi-room satellite setups, but it was worthless for me.

I have a dishnetwork 942 HDTV DVR system. This antenna is designed for a much older system. It doesn't fit the dish very easily and was difficult to secure. I can't tell if it works because so far it just seems to be incompatible with my system.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible HDTV Antenna, August 16, 2005

This antenna was a tremendous waste of money. It did not do any of the things advertised on Amazon.com or Terk.com. I could only barely receive 1 station and that picture was very poor quality. I can get 3 channels with rabbit ears and they are much better quality. It also significantly reduced, 10-15%, the signal reception on all 3 satellite LNB's. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for an HDTV antenna. This poor quality device added to the poor quality of DirecTV in general makes me wish everyday that I had stayed with Cable TV.
