Great, reasonable amplified antenna
I have tried a few different
antenna
s for getting over the
air
HDTV
for my HTPC that I built for the living room. I was getting horrible
reception
from
indoor
s from the older RCA and thought I would search for newer powered antennas because I really wanted to get rid of Comcast cable and watch the standard HDTV channels for Houston with DVR capabilities and the DVD library on the PC. After trying the ones listed below and some others I don't remember, I finally got the
Terk
after seeing the amount of reviews here on Amazon (originally bought from Best Buy, but ordered from Amazon and will return BB's).
This thing works great. I barely had to move it around to start getting channels (many more than any of the others were providing). It would work even better outside, but it isn't made for that. I might wrap it or protect it for outside use, that way I won't have to mess with positioning as much. I am pairing it with the SiliconDust HDHomeRun so that I can watch or record two channels at once (using a splitter). This way, I don't have to put TV tuner cards in individual machines.
The only thing I would like changed would be a base that was a bit larger or more sturdy. The unit will tip if the bunny antenna portion are not balanced. This is certainly not a deal breaker, but an annoyance, especially because the antennas extend from the base quite a bit.
Antennas used (remembered):
- Older RCA FM-VHF-UHF powered bunny eared (with loop, rating 2)
- Philips MANT940 Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna (powered, Rating 4)
- RCA DIGITAL FLAT ANTENNA (flat white one, smaller sized, powered, not very good, Rating 2)
- eVGA inDtube USB tuner card with antenna (worked for a little bit, would not recommend, antenna way too small, Rating 2)

Great HDTV Antenna
This is a great
antenna
for
HDTV
s. I watch crystal clear 36 DTV channels (including CBS2, NBC5, Channel 7, Channel 9, Fox32, UPN), without repositioning the antenna. I live several miles from downtown. I found that positioning the VHF dipoles in a horizontal position (without extending them) enhances DTV
reception
.
Great Buy!
Very good
antenna
! I am now able to receive DTV signals as far away as 70 miles (I live in the desert Southwest), with f
air
to moderate signal strength.
The only problem with this antenna is that it is very directional...although i can now receive distant signals coming from the north, i have to turn the antenna around to pick up the one local station that transmits only 5 miles away to the south.
