Terk Low-Profile Indoor Antenna (TV5)

Summary: Try this first!
Review: This is the third antenna I purchased... the first on was an inexpensive RCA, and the second one was the Zenith HDTV/UHF model. The RCA is also an electrically powered antenna, and it worked better than the Zenith, but most of the channels were still pretty fuzzy. When I plugged the Terk in, it didn't seem to work any better than the RCA - Until I changed its location. The directions recommend placing this antenna near a window, so I moved the antenna away from the TV and mounted it on the wall closer to the front door. It's not pretty, but I get 13 channels now, and most are pretty clear. It easy to change to antenna's direction to get the best signal for different channels.

Summary: boost in power
Review: Well in reading the other profiles- I must say that they might have installed the TV-5 wrong- In the beginning- I thought reception was poor compared to the rabbit ears that I had before- I adjusted and the reception became better- What you need to do is slide the amplification to MAX and then you get more channels and much better reception compared to the rabbit ears- After I boosted power - I was quite happy to get better reception than before- including channels I never got. So I am a happy customer.
