Summary: Terk TV-42
Review: I tried indoor antenna's with no success.. There was always that one favorite local channel which didn't come in properly..
I hooked up the Terk and couldn't believe it... Just as some of the reviewers have stated... My local channel reception was better than my Dishnetwork... I'm pretty impressed... Not to complicated to set up (took me about 30 minutes).. Overral a very nice product...

Summary: Virtually no improvement over rabbit ears
Review: Installation was easy enough, except for that whol climbing on the roof thing, but that's more my problem than Terk's. It probably took 15 minutes to install the thing, but when I went back inside and hooked it up, I had an incredible amount of snow on every station. Although I could see every channel, they were all unwatchable. The worst part was that I needed to climb back up onto the roof so I could return the thing. I still can't figure out how TV survived until cable came into existence.

Summary: WHAT A GREAT ANTENNA!
Review: The Terk TV-42 satellite antenna is a great product. I was having so much trouble with my local channel reception on my DirecTV system. After my husband attached the Terk antenna to our satellite dish, we now get our local channels very clear, and they record quite well for playback at a later time. Amazon is selling this product at a great bargain. I saw the same model advertised for almost twice as much at a local electronic chain store. Thank you Amazon!

Summary: Turn Off the Sat Receiver!
Review: The Terk-42 is an outstanding product but I ALMOST returned it until I read the review from the individual from Fort Hood, Texas. He is right on the money with the advice to turn OFF the satellite receiver; the manual says keep it turned on while viewing your local channels but that must be an error as your reception will be mostly static unless it is turned off. Once I turned off the satellite receiver almost all of the local VHF and UHF channels came in crystal clear.We had used rabbit ears, including the ones that use the AC adapters and this product has them beat by a mile. My husband installed this product in about 15 minutes, but you need to keep in mind that the weather at our location in Texas is great this time of year and our dish is on a pole about five feet off the ground in the back yard (I think this adds to how great this product is as I'm sure we could get additional channels if it was located on the roof or in a higer location). I could understand that the instillation time could vary depending on the weather and the mounting location. In think the important factor is to keep the satellite tuner turend off while viewing local channels and you'll be very happy with this product. One other import note: The box was missing one minor part and the customer service at Terk was great. No long "phone tree" or being placed on hold for hours - their customer service department answered within a few minutes and the replacement part is one the way via UPS. You can't beat their product or servce!

Summary: the best ever!
Review: this antenna is amazing! although it takes more than a few minutes or seconds to install, everything you need is included. there is no need to crawl around in you attic looking for your splitters or daisy chains. all you need to get to is the dish and back of your tv. reception is amazing and better than local cable! this will pay for itself in less than 3 months! plus i even get stations from other cities. i cant say enough about this product, i cant imagine ANY other antenna working better than this and ive tried them all! this is much better than the omni directional antenna that can be mounted next to your dish. save the money and the eyesore, buy this!

Summary: A good option for people on the fringe
Review: Too far away to get local chanels on your dish? Too close to get a waiver? Tired of rabbit ears? I was all three and this antenna proved to be a good solution. It clips right on the dish and uses the dishes power and wiring to pipe the antenna signal into your home. It doesn't take the "seconds" listed on the box but I was up and running in about 15 minutes and getting near perfect reception on stations that were snowy with every other method I tried. If your dish is on your roof you might need to set aside an hour or two. One word of warning. When we used the TV/Video button (per our sat manual) to access the antenna signal we got nothing but snow. We were getting ready to disconect the antenna to return it but when I turned the power off on the reciever our local chanels suddenly cleared right up.
