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.

works for some but not for others:
Just recieved this from amazon recently i have been messing around with it for the past 4 days, even put it in the attic to see what i could get ......... one channel i get that is a digital channel and its local. i get no other channels with any visible reception. i hope to replace my original bunny ears + uhf receiver. this works almost the same except the amplifire gave me a 50 % instead of a 30% on my one channel. over all i would rate this product for myself personally ........ around a 3. i was... more info
Poor antenna:
Maybe it's just where you live, but I've tried this thing in two different houses I've lived in and they were both terrible. Plus this thing is huge when you extend the onboard rabbit ears. Extremely unattractive so unless you have a closet to hide it in, go with something else. I bought a Philips antenna (Philips SDV2740/27 HDTV/UHF/VHF/FM Digital Indoor TV Antenna) at Wal-Mart for like $30 and it works way better than this thing AND it's tiny and attractive too! Don't waste your time on this junk.
Solved a problem:
I bought this antenna to use with my Elgato EyeTV Hybrid tuner stick for my Mac. With an old set of plain rabbit ears I was able to get most channels, but not the local ABC affiliate (I live in Dallas) - a real nuisance. Based on my review of Elgato user forums, I had doubts whether this antenna would solve the problem, but it did. Signal strengths are markedly better than before, and I even picked up seven additional channels, including the ABC affiliate. The coax cable is integrated with the unit, which... more info
Alright for the money:
For the rave reviews people are giving this thing, its alright. Everyone says they are out in the middle of nowhere and get a bazzillion channels. Well, I dont live in the middle of nowhere, I live between to major cities, yet I only get 6 digital channels and 2 HD channels. Sure I get a bunch of fuzzy looking oldschool channels that I could care less about and I'm not going to waste the time screwing around with bunny ears. This is a mid-range product. I'm sure there is something better out there. If you... more info
