Digital camera reviews of Terk Technology HDTVi VHF/UHF HDTV Indoor Antenna
Digital camera Review: A decent option for combined VHF/UHF reception
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this antenna to use in my apartment complex. I had been using an el-cheapo VHF antenna (which was able to pull in several digital stations.) Looking at reception from the VHF (analog) side, this antenna is no better than a $7 unit at Walmart. I don't receive analog stations any better than I used to. If most of the stations you watch of in the VHF spectrum, you might be better off with a cheaper antenna.
However, on the UHF side, this antenna is pretty effective. I am able to pull in many HD digital stations here in Denver with excellent clarity....even living in an apartment complex with no line of sight. The antenna is VERY sensitive to placement though. Moving the unit one foot in either direction would result in good reception to a near loss of signal. You will have to experiment to get the best reception. I would recommend investing in a longer cable so you can get the antenna exactly where it needs to be. For a non-amplified unit (with no line of sight,) I couldn't have expected any better performance. For UHF reception, this antenna is pretty darn good.
The antenna is somewhat large, so you will need a dedicated spot for it. It appears to be well constructed. While the VHF reception of this unit is no better than the cheapest antennas, the ability to receive both VHF and UHF well makes this a good buy.
Summary of Terk Technology HDTVi VHF/UHF HDTV Indoor Antenna
Terk antennas are designed to deliver sharp, clear, high definition signal reception. At Terk, the engineering department is dedicated to designing antennas that enhance both the latest technology and the aesthetics of any viewing environment. The HDTVi indoor antenna installs in minutes, is easy to use and simple to adjust. Features: Optimized for HDTV reception UHF and VHF elements for reception of all available broadcasts (channels 2-69) Highly directional UHF element reduces signal interference Specifications: VHF channels: 2-13 UHF channels: 14-69 Output impedance: 75 ohms Height with dipoles fully extended: 42" Manual included Warranty: one year partsWith over 1,000 stations in more than 200 markets broadcasting digital television as of 2003, 9 out of 10 households can now receive free high-definition (HDTV) signals when using the right antenna in conjunction with an integrated HDTV (or with a set-top box and an HD-ready television). Most antennas are large and unwieldy and need to be mounted outdoors or in a cramped attic. This is not an option if you live in an apartment or condo, or if you don't want the hassle of installing an antenna yourself. The solution? A quality indoor antenna that can pick up all local HDTV channels; one that will look great next to your television, and one that is easy to install: Terk's HDTVi indoor antenna.
At the time of its release, the HDTVi was (and may yet be) the only indoor HDTV antenna optimized for both UHF and VHF reception, channels 2 to 69. The HDTVi elegantly solves the aesthetic challenge of integrating a log-periodic-type element assembly in an indoor antenna. It's tuned for optimum HDTV reception with a unique design that uses log-periodic elements and dipoles for receiving both UHF and VHF HDTV broadcasts, bringing you more stations than lesser antennas.
You can easily route the antenna's output cable in 2 directions (front or back) for flexible cable management, and the antenna connects easily to your set-top box or television (integrated HDTV--with built-in ATSC tuner--required for direct connection).
Its high gain picks up distant stations and its high back-to-front ratio rejects unwanted signals. You can mount the UHF antenna element vertically or horizontally, as experience dictates.
