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 VHF (channels 2 to 13) and UHF (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.

Antenna with integrated 75-ohm cable, instruction manual, and warranty information.

 Incredibly Good Indoor Antenna July 28, 2005

Having spent a bundle acquiring a Sony LCD HDTV and upgrading our Dish service to include its limited set of HDTV channels, we were anxious to see what an Over-the-Air Antenna might add.
In all, we tested 5, including the highly rated Zenith log periodic (about $40 at Sears), an amplified Samsung (about $99 at Best Buy), an outdoor Terk 32 (about $80 at Circuit City), our old roof mounted VHF/UHF antenna (circa 1985), and the amplified Terk HDTVa (about $50 at Radio Shack). The Terk HDTVa won hands down; no contest, blowing away the much touted Zenith.
We live in the sparsely populated, low hill countryside of Western Massachuetts. The THDTVa effortlessly brings in between 20 and 30 analogue and digital (incl hdtv) channels broadcast most from 12 to 45 miles away, and some as far as 65+ miles away in Connecticut. Some digital OTA channels actually come in more sharply than some of the (Dish) satellite digital channels.
This is definitely a keeper: a great value, gem of an antenna. So good, in fact, we are debating giving up our $50/month Dish service, putting $15 of that to Netflix to replace HBO, and banking the remaining $35.

I've had this antenna about a month now. I live in a concrete house in heavily wooded area, 30 miles from the digital broadcasters. On a clear day I get about 30 digital channels with no problem. It's pretty crazy when you think about receiving full HD over an antenna, but that's what you can get with this thing. Adverse weather conditions do affect reception though. I have to admit, this antenna has worked out much better than I expected. With this and Netflix or iTunes Store, I rarely use my cable and plan to drop it soon - and this antenna cost less than half of my monthly cable bill.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3LX6GVGWTPW5T Hello everyone,
I recently got the Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna because with hulu and netflix and so on I just did not want to pay for cable any more.
The video shows how easy it is to assemble the antenna, and hook it up to your TV.
I also try to show the not so good points of this product - how big it is, and the short antenna cable.
Overall, great product in my opinion - I hope you enjoy.

I was using the Terk 55 for the last three years, and decided to replace it with this antenna. So far, it has pulled every HD channel in my area, no matter how far away it is. One of them actually is over 50 miles away. It is a bargain here. Best Buy and Circuit City sell it for $65+.
If you want a good indoor HD antenna, buy this one/
I hope this helps
Out of my expectation, great job done by this small antenna! October 5, 2005

I live in a small town in greater Cincinnati area, 16.5-20 miles from all the TV towers. Bought SONY 50 inch LCD Grand Wega TV days ago, and planed to install an outdoor HDTV antenna in my attic to receive OTA HD signal. Considering the complexity of running cable from the attic dowm to my family room, I decided to give a try on an indoor antenna. Bought the TERK HDTVa at a local Radio Shack store for about 50 bucks, and was told I can return it if it does not work. So, two minutes after I set the auto programming function of my SONY. I began to see the perfect HD picture from the local WCET PBS station, which is the first 24/7 HDTV station in Cincy area. It works very nicely. Picked all DTV signals from the local stations (Several even from Dayton, OH), Strong signal, perfect picture! NO problem whatsoever!
