Now I can see two aditional channels, well just dont expect to many aditional channeles this is not paid cable t.v... ok. Don't waste more time searching this is it.Digital camera Review: It works!

I was skeptical, had another antenna and it wasn't so great. Saw the reviews and thought the price was good. It works! I was surprised at the clarity and how well it worked!Digital camera Review: Just OK

I heard alot of good things about this antenna but it is just OK. Nothing great. I get a few channels but usually have to readjust the antenna for clarity.Digital camera Review: Mighty Mouse
Summary: 5 Stars
We have 6 TV's in our home. The HD big screen is connected to satellite, the remainder are analog TVs on rabbit ears or very basic (read pathetic) cable. As the TVs receiving off air are analog and are due to become paper weights soon if I don't fit them up with digital converters, I started my retrofitting by purchasing a couple of RCA digital converters and using the antennas I already had. The tuners picked up 18 channels, some of which are not very strong. One channel, Fox 25 (Boston) couldn't be picked up at all even though I don't live far from their broadcast antennas. I did some more research on antennas and digital broadcasts, and after reading the reviews here, I decided to pick up two. I just installed one of the antennas and allowed the converter box to scan the channels again. It picked up 30 channels in total (12 more than with the old antenna). It even picked up the previously missing Fox 25. Channels which were not very stable are locked in now. The picture on my 22 year old 19" JVC is striking. The color is vibrant and the image is super sharp. I like the fact that it is passive, we really don't need yet another thing to plug in and suck up energy. I plan on buying one for each TV in my house as well as my parents' house. Very impressive for such a tiny footprint. I plan on getting converter boxes for the sets on cable. Bye, bye cable. Don't come back now...
UPDATE: Due to the persnickety nature of DTV (conditions have to be "just so" to get the signal, I tried out a powered antenna for our kitchen TV as this unit has difficulty receiving DTV signals. The hope was to expand the number of stations received with the Terk albeit with the additional use of power. The unit was a Radio Shack Model 15-1892. The Terk out performed the powered unit so needless to say, the powered antenna was returned.

Digital camera Review: NOT so good
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this based on reviews. It works, but not so good. I have put it in different places and use it with a converter box.
I get one channel great the other 4 channels are fuzzy and go in and out. I am about 26 miles from the big TV broadcast towers. I am now buying a different antenna.
The Philips SDV2210/17 UHF/VHF/FM/HDTV Indoor Antenna in hopes to get a good picture...watch for my comments on that one soon!
