Doesn't work for me

Reviewed by bicmon (Practical) from Portland, ME on Oct 01, 2007

BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Although the product seems well made[...], I get terrible reception with this antenna. I live within the city limits of Portland, Maine and only get good reception on one channel. I wish I'd saved the packaging so that I could exchange it for the amplified model.

Pros:	Easy To Set Up, Durable
Cons:	Poor Reception

Analog reception solid; digital is great

Reviewed by Practical Economiser (Practical, Tech Savvy) from Chicago on May 11, 2007

BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

We own an older analog 13 inch TV. We also recently purchased a new non-HD 24 inch tube TV. We previously had an indoor non-amplified antenna on the 13 in. analog TV which we have replaced with the amplified indoor Terk TV 4. Analog reception has greatly improved. We bought another TV 4 for our new 24-inch analog/digital non-HD TV, and hoped it would do a good job with digital channel reception. So far it is doing an outstanding job with all available digital channels. As a family accustomed to analog picture quality, we were stunned to see a clear digital TV picture in our home for the first time. Based on the TV's internal signal meter, this antenna does its job well. P.S. Our broadcast towers are 8 miles away. We live on a street with tall trees. The TV's are both on the ground floor of a two-flat.

Best Uses:	Bedroom, Small Rooms, Family room, Office, Living Room
Pros:	Strong Signal, Durable, Easy To Set Up
