Terk HD-TVS Slim Profile Outdoor Antena Review July 26, 2008
It works as it is designed to be. Once it is mounted outdoor, it works well. The only problem I experienced is that when the wind is blowing, the reception becomes spotty. Maybe this problem is caused by some big trees in my backyard. Interestingly, the problem only occurs on digital HD channels, not on regular analog channels.
If you use it as indoor antenna, the reception is not as good as outdoor.
Surprised after second location July 13, 2008
I received the antenna from Amazon in very good time. I mounted the antenna using the supplied mast on the side of my home about 15' high. I pointed the antenna towards the broadcast towers which are about 35 miles from my home. I could only receive one station, which was a disapointment. So, I would try one more location before giving up on this small antenna. I then mounted it on the very top of the roof with a 15 degree tilt up. To my surprise, my signal meter on my tv jumped up to around 85% for six HD stations. Please take some time for proper location and you will be very happy you did. Also, very easy to mount.
 I'm impressed. May 29, 2008
I purchased the following with my triple-LNB dish, supplied by DirecTv: (08) Terk BDS-P1's, (01) Terk HD-TVS off air HD antenna and (01) Terk BMS-58 switch to make everything work together.
I experienced no problems with the installation. DirecTv receivers see all 3 satellites and have the option to receive free HD TV from local towers. The BMS-58 switch works as a combiner routing all signals through 1 coax cable. This makes running cable cheaper. The diplexer then splits the signals at the DirecTv box.
I had to install a DC block on the HD-TVS antenna input into the switch in order for DirecTv to receive. The manual does not state that. Trial and error fixed the problem.
I'm 1 month and going strong with no issues in 5 locations. Now only if I could get Tivo to play nice.
 Hard to Tell May 1, 2008
It's in use and it works but according to the Dish guys I could have saved a few bucks and purchased something less fancy looking and got the same reception.
twice the price, but valuable February 25, 2008

After moving to New Orleans I decided to forgo cable and go to over the air television reception. I had heard that HD OTA was good. I chose this unit rather than the Antennas Direct because it is enclosed (for the landlords visual objections) and includes a stand. It works better the higher you can get it even in a city with no tall buildings like NOLA. I get way more signals than my Tivo guide knows about. Some of them have digital carriers with no content, waiting for next year I suppose. On most channels the digital signal is far superior to the analog. Good antennae.
