Amazon.com Product Description
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.

Customer Reviews

Antenna not as good as reviews state
I replaced some ugly, old rabbit ears with this HDTV antenna hoping to get AS GOOD a signal as I was already getting, but in a more compact and attractive package. My ten year old rabbit ears, with one of the "ears" broken off by the way, gets better HDTV reception than this antenna. I tweaked it every possible way that I could, and still couldn't pick up 2 of the 6 channels I used the old antenna to get. Going back to the rabbit ears and doing more research... Too bad. $40 down the drain. Also, this thing is practically useless without both of its rabbit ears (not shown in the misleading picture) fully extended and outstretched, so if by looking at the picture you find it hard to believe that you can get an antenna this compact to pick up so many channels, it's because it's not true.

Great HDTV Antenna
This is a great antenna for HDTVs. I watch crystal clear 36 DTV channels (including CBS2, NBC5, Channel 7, Channel 9, Fox32, UPN), without repositioning the antenna. I live several miles from downtown. I found that positioning the VHF dipoles in a horizontal position (without extending them) enhances DTV reception.

A piece of Junk
This is a crap, does not work in Brookyn (Bensonhurst) at all. Has poor signal in Elmhurst Queen where Phillips has no problem at all. Don't buy this.
