Digital camera reviews of Terk Technology TV-1 Passive Indoor TV Antenna
Digital camera Review: Decent cheap antenna
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall I am impressed with the antenna, it does a better job than some of the 20-50 dollar range indoor antenna's and its better built than the $30 Zenith antenna I got.
I did hitch this up to an amp to see if it would improve it any, and I really didn't notice much difference between reception with or without the amp. Later on my zenith one bit the dust (fell off the TV due to stomping kids), so I bought another one of these.
Digital camera Review: Definitely better than my old rabbit ears
Summary: 4 Stars
With this antenna, I don't have to get up and move it around every time I change a channel. I still can't get a couple of digital stations that I guess have weak reception, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars.Digital camera Review: Difficult
Summary: 1 Stars
Depending on the tv you are planning to use this with, it can be very difficult to set-up. Connecting the UHF/VHF small, metal hooks to the antenna piece was difficult. I still haven't used it, and just bought a different one. The item appears very cheap.Digital camera Review: Doesn't Combine UHF and VHF
Summary: 3 Stars
When I purchased this product I thought the UHF loop would connect somewhere on the "rabbit ear" base and be combined into one signal. I was apparently wrong. I was surprised to open the box and see that I needed to have UHF terminals on my TV to connect the loop antenna. I wasn't too impressed. I'll be returning the product for one that actually combines the UHF and VHF signals as most of the broadcast spectrum used in my area is in the UHF range.Digital camera Review: Doesn't work very well
Summary: 2 Stars
I have tried this antenna many times camping. I have tried it in Vermont, the Lake George area of New York, and Connecticut. It never pulled in more than 2-3 stations, and they were always full of snow. None of the stations ever came in even decent.
The only reason I give this antenna 2 stars is because without it reception was even worse. But it is still pretty worthless in my opinion.
I will try this antenna again once I get a Digital Converter. Maybe that will make a difference.
