An indoor antenna without amplification isn't worth the money you spend on it!

Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception
It uses an included signal amplifier to boost VHF signals by 12db and UHF signals by 11db, and is only about $8.00 more. You'll get more for your money, and you won't feel like you've been ripped off.
Is HDTV antenna worth the money?

I have bought a HDTV recently. I thought if I had a digital HDTV antenna, I could pull in more digital channels. I was disappointed to find that the Terk HDTV indoor antenna failed to do so. In fact, the old Radio Shack enhanced indoor antenna gave me better reception.
Worthless 2008-07-07
I live five miles from Sears Tower, in Chicago. I get 16 over the air channels in analog all of them watchable. Channels 7, 9, and 26 as well as low power channels 23 and 48 come in as good as cable TV.
Now with DTV and various antennas all I can get is THREE stations, 7, 9 and 32. And 7 and 9 are all pixleated.
So it seems 16 watchable channels have been reduced to 1 watchable DTV channel. So much for progress, but I guess it's much more important for rich people to be able to have yet MORE cell phones (that's what the TV signals will be used for) than let poor people have TV.
I guess I'm gonna have to come up with money for cable.
DTV is NOT a good thing for us urban poor.
Awesome Power, pulled in all local HDTV channels - Chandler, AZ

This Terk HDTVi Indoor Antenna For HDTV is Perfect. I was tired of paying cable prices for local channels. So thought I would give this antenna a try. It pulls in every single HDTV local channel in Phoenix, AZ that is currently available!!! It's awesome!
Oh and this, you may find hard to believe, but it is very TRUE! The picture with this antenna is even *****better***** than what I had with Cox Cable on my Toshiba 73 inch HDTV 1080P!!!
I live in Chandler, AZ. I'm very happy with this product. If you're in Phoenix, AZ; I would certainly give this antenna a try, it's worth every single penny!!!
Great if you're in a good location

I'm lucky to be in an area that's within 8 miles of all 3 major stations broadcasting OTA HDTV. Once you find the right position, it's amazing. Dolby Digital 5.1 and 1080i is fantastic. Two sports that benefit greatly from HDTV are Golf and Hockey. It's really sweet watching them in HDTV, it's a whole new spectator experience.
If you're having trouble finding the sweet spot, move in smaller increments. In the right position I get all free HDTV stations crystal clear, but if I move the antenna a quarter inch, I lose half. Digital is much more sensitive to position. Also, you DO NEED to extend the telescopic antennae as well. For $30, this can't be beat. I actually cancelled Cable. Between free OTA HD and my Bluray PS3, who needs to spend $100 a month on cable.
PS: LOST looked fabulous in HD, can't wait till next season.

The best so far 2008-06-04
I've had 2 of these antennas --- antennae? --- for 3 years. Since I live close to a big city, I can pull in 16 channels with it. It's super easy to set up and run through a VCR if you want. When local channels first started broadcasting in HDTV picture quality was fantastic. What I don't know right now is the effect of the digital TV conversion box on this antenna. I ordered one of those but haven't received it yet. Maybe I can come back and edit this review.
I'm baaaack ! I bought a Sansonic FT300A DTV converter. Between that and this antenna, I pull in 18 stations with very clear pictures. It took several agonizing tries to get the antenna set in the right direction for all channels but I got it and duct-taped it on the spot.
Don't waste your money on this antenna 2008-05-27
I live in Northern Virginia area but there was not even one TV station that I could watch by using this antenna. My TV was keep indicating "No Siganal" constanly and it was very frustrating way to watch TV. This anttena could't hold the signal at all. I don't recommend this product to anyone. Not even to my enemies.
Effectiveness of Terk HDTVi antenna 2008-05-03
I bought my first Terk HDTVi antenna about 3 years ago upon the recommendation of a Tweeter sales person. I told him about the problems I was having with poor signal reception for my standard TV. (My home is a basement apartment with windows at ground level.) He recommended the Terk HDTVi and I was very pleased with its performance. (This first antenna had to be replaced because I dropped it and something was broken inside - hence, the purchase of the present unit.)
No better reception for local channels 2008-04-20
I bought this model this afternoon excited by the thought that I would finally be able to pick up the local channels clearly. Currently my little RCA "rabbit ears" model is giving me the same reception as the Terk did.
I tried every configuration, turning it this way and that, trying desperately to find the spot where I could finally pick up my local FOX channel, or even my local ABC channel. It did nothing. When it did find the FOX channel, the picture did not come through clearly although I could hear the audio. It was a complete waste of the time and the 75 dollars I had shelled out. (the same can be said for Terk's Tv5 Amplified Low-Profile Antenna which I'm returning tomorrow in disgust)
