Product Description
With 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.

Antenna with integrated 75-ohm cable, instruction manual, and warranty information.

Comment:
I live in Lewsiville, TX. Digital channels Works perfectly in any direction from my apartment. I was not happy with analog channels. I luv watching football on my HDTV with this new antenna. Clarity of HD Channels on antenna is similar to the one i was getting on Time Warner cable.

Excellent - using in NYC under a DESK - Surrounded by Buildings

Comment:
I bought this for my office to use with an Elgato TV tuner for MAC. I put the antenna under return on my desk so it remained sort of 'out of sight'. The elgato went through the scan and found all local NY networks.
Now...I know I am in NYC...so my signal should be strong..but My office building is U shaped and surrounded by HUGE ac's and HVAC units.... I was afraid this wouldnt cut it. I WAS wrong.
Easy to install, easy to setup, and it does what it should...gets HD signals from the AIR.
Comment:
For some stations, it provided better reception than my old fashioned bunny ears. However, it still doesn't provide the clarity that I was hoping for, so I'm going to get basic cable afterall. Too bad I threw away the box, or I would return it. Its a very, very large unit however, so placing it inconspicuously in your living room probably isn't an option.

better than a uhf loop, but not perfect

Comment:
terk hdtvi works better than a uhf loop. With the loop, we had random freezes and
random pixelation, analog degrades so much better than digital! who says digital
is better, not me. the picture is better when the signal is good, but it's worse when the signal degrades. With the terk it is much better, but we still get a random blink or .1 second freeze, but not the 1 second freeze with the loop. Being in a little bit of a valley, I'm sure isn't helping.
