Technical Details
The high-performance HDTVa amplified indoor HDTV antenna from Terk Technologies is designed to capture both UHF and VHF signals (channels 2 to 69) while extending the reception range for all local HDTV broadcasts. The HDTVa uses an ultra-low-noise, high-gain amplifier with Terk's exclusive Dual-Drive Amplifier technology for clear reception of both distant and close HDTV and DTV stations.
As suitable for those living in city apartments as for those in suburban homes, the compact HDTVa lets viewers experience HDTV broadcasts in full resolution. Designed for total reception versatility, the HDTVa's high-gain antenna array can be oriented either horizontally or vertically within its mounting base to achieve optimum capture of off-air broadcasts.
Set the amplifier to high-gain mode to compensate for signals that are too weak or might otherwise be bypassed for a stronger signals nearby. Simplifying your installation, the HDTVa uses Terk's Power Injector to derive power via its coaxial connecting cable. The result? One cable is all you have to connect, making it easy to install the HDTVa atop or near your television.
The antenna is engineered to receive all local HDTV channels, with an operating bandwidth covering both the UHF (channels 2 to 13) and VHF (channels 14 to 69) frequency ranges. Its highly directional log periodic UHF and precision VHF elements are designed to receive HDTV broadcasts with maximum signal strength while rejecting all or most interference. The HDTVa is as exceptional in appearance as it is in performance: its curved, tapering, polished-aluminum antenna elements are mounted in a slim base with a contoured front that visually complements the curve of the antenna elements.

I am dissatified with the Terk HDTV Amplified High-Definition Antenna. I have returned the Antenna and I heard of no response.

Some channels are good but uhf (cw and abc) are hard to get good reception for.

I live on the 5th floor on an apartment building on the outskirts of a city. I bought this antenna hoping that it would solve our reception issues of having to move the bunny ears in a specific way for each channel. I have an HD TV, so I thought that I could do without the box and get the straight HD signal. I could... sort of. It was pretty bad, especially for channel 11 (NBC). I had to add the box back on and the reception got mostly better, but I had to sacrifice the awesome super-HD clarity. So, over all this antenna is OK.

Bought this to pick up over the air HD. The picture and audio is great as long as it's aimed the right way. It is a little touchy on the direction it is pointed. I could get most of the channels in my area aimed one direction, but needed to turn it to pick up others. I was never able to get all of the local channels using one position. Tried adjusting the fins but that only seemed to make it worse. Ended up picking up a used aerial antenna and mounting it in the rafters of the garage. That is working much better. When this antenna was "tuned in" to a signal it was great. I was able to get HD channels from over 50 miles away that I can't get with the aerial antenna. Just was too much of a hassle to turn it whenever I wanted to change channels. If you have most of your TV signals coming from the same direction, this would probably work for you. I just needed wider angle antenna for my area.

Once I overcame a small issue of user error (plugged the coax into the wrong jack on the back of the TV) I've had an amazing experience with this antenna. I live in West Jordan, UT and I'm 13.1 miles from the broadcast towers. I'm not sure if having the towers on a mountain helps but I've consistantly had 97+ signal strength tunning HD channels in my Basement. The TV is next to a wall without a window and I've run the cable into my basement pantry under the staircase. The antenna is facing the cement foundation of my basement so it would be in line with the broadcast towers and I'm still getting amazing reception! I've had the antenna fall over a few times and I still get signals. While I cannot guarentee you will have as much success as me if you install this antenna in your basement (the manufactures FAQ says you cannot install this in a basement), I want to put an opinion out there that if you are resonably close to your broadcast towers you should give this antenna a shot. The worst that could happen is you end up returning it to Amazon and getting your money back.
