Product Description

Product Description
Terk Technology TV-1 Indoor TV Antenna - I have satellite TV and that makes me a very happy man. However I'm not so happy when a nice storm rolls into the area and kills my signal completely! When that happens I wish I had a old-style pair of rabbit ears like this Terk TV-1 antenna. With this you can get free TV at all times! And if you have a modern television set, it will fit inside the antenna receptacle in the back of it. A great convenience! VHF - Channels 2-13 Operating Bandwidth - 54MHz to 806MHz Height of Base - 3.375 Height with Dipoles - (closed) 12.5 / (open) 42.5

5.0 out of 5 stars Works really well, December 8, 2006

By	Beck (Arizona) - See all my reviews

I honestly didn't think this antenna would work as well as it does. I bought it hoping I'd be able to watch local broadcast channels with only a few lines, instead of full-screen snow, and it actually gives me picture clarity equal to what I got with cable. The UHF antenna is supposed to plug directly into your tv (I think this assumes your tv was made a long time ago), which wasn't an option with my set, but it turns out I don't need it anyway; channels in the 50s and 60s come in just as well as lower ones. It's also a pretty small unit with a sort of retro 50s design, so it's not an eyesore. Great antenna, especially for the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Aerial HD signal is better than satellite TV!, December 10, 2007

By	germanboy (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

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...

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, one that works!, June 30, 2007

By	Grumpy (California, The Fourth Reich) - See all my reviews

I was happily surprised by the quality of the picture I got with this little antenna. I tried others, but none came close to this one. I was going to give it four stars because you have to get up and move the antenna when you change channels, but my laziness shouldn't penalize this fine product.
