I didn't get all stations after the broadcast conversion but now I do. All stations are excellent, except one which is very good, and much better than without this antenna. I set it up, turned it once and that was it. It was great even before I re-scanned my converter.
This is well worth the money. |
As good as expected

I am a little disappointed, i thought I had ordered the power amplified antenna, but found I made the wrong choice. The antenna works very well. It is large and hard to find a place to set it up. It brings in many of the extra channels Digital TV offers, but is affected by either weather or something else. On rare occasions, the signal will fade, only to come back in later, usually quite soon. Most of the stations are located in one specific area, but not all come in best at one directional setting. I am pleased, but really would like to have the one that is amplified.

When it comes to antennas, I care about only one thing. What channels will it pull in clearly? I live in the penumbra of a hill relative to the nearest broadcast towers 26 miles away and no antenna, not even on a 30-foot mast, produced reception worth a toot in analog days. I put this honey on the top of a bookshelf, pointed it at the broadcast towers (exact direction is VERY important) and bingo! every local station comes in with no signal breakup. Thank you Terk and thank you digital TV.
The antenna assembly seems a little on the flimsy side to me, but realistically, the only wear and tear the antenna will experience is when I turn it 5 degrees to point it at the Public Broadcasting tower. It's not going to fall apart and it's not going to wear out unless a kid or a pet runs past and trips on the coax cable a few times. |

What You Should Know
|

How To Pick Your Best TV
Type?
Several important factors determine the
quality of your HDTV picture. So how do you find a picture you like?
- TV TECHNOLOGY
As you probably already know, there are several TV technologies
available. LCD televisions are thin and lightweight with a
high-quality picture, even in brightly lit rooms. Plasma screens are
heavier than LCDs but may deliver a slightly picture in dark rooms with
more intense colors. DLP TVs offer brilliant screens, but are
thicker than LCDs or Plasma.
- RESOLUTION
Think about TV resolution as the number of pixels contained in one
"frame" of a television show or movie. More pixels in each frame
will give you better picture detail. 720P and 1080P are the two most
common resolution standards for HDTV now. With about 1 million
pixels in each frame, 720P provides a vivid, high definition picture.
1080P offers the highest level of HDTV quality with over 2 million pixels
in each frame, creating even greater picture details. While
broadcast is mostly limited to 720P, 1080P is the standard for high definition disc players like Blu-Ray.
- CONTRAST RATIO
Contrast ratio is a number that measures the difference in light
intensity between the brightest white and the darkest black on the screen.
In general the higher the contrast ratio number, the better the image
quality. Most times, you will find Dynamic Contrast Ratio specified,
but be sure you are comparing the same type of contrast ratio.
- CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT
Another way to improve contrast ratio
is with contrast enhancement technology. Most of the time, this uses back
lighting to improve apparent contrast. This is especially helpful in
dark rooms, as it helps your eyes adjust to the best light levels.
This dynamically improves contrast, resulting in deep blacks in darker
scenes without losing fine details in shadows and other dark areas of the
picture.
- BIT COLOR
Another important contributor to picture quality is what is
called "bit depth". This is the size of the number that is used to
assign colors on the screen. The higher the number, the more
displayable colors will appear (see the image below). Of course this
is only true if both the display processor and the panel support that
number of bits!
More Bits = More Colors |
| What Is
High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a
technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the
picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic. Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch
at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).
DVD are also in standard definition. Standard definition (480i & 480p)
is lower quality than high definition. Many older TV sets are standard
def, and can only show standard def content (programming). Many new
TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV). They are capable of showing
high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition
formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all.

How To Protect Your HDTV And Make It All
Work!
You've bought your ideal television or home
theater, but have you considered how you will protect it, or make it all
work together? It's not as complex as it might seem, but it is
important to consider, since devices may work differently, and have
incompatible modes. Plus after investing in your hardware, bad things
can happen to damage them.
- MOST IMPORTANT: SURGE
PROTECTION
 If you have a
computer, you know all about surge suppressors and battery back-up UPS
devices. But do you have a UPS for your HDTV and Home Theater
system? HDTVs and Home Theater systems are just as susceptible to
surge and power damage as computers, so it is critical you add a very good
surge suppressor or UPS to your setup at once! Plus if you have a UPS, you'll be able to watch TV or listen to music if the power goes off! (for as long as the battery lasts of course!)
Click Here for Power Protection products.
- CONTROLLING IT ALL: ADVANCED
REMOTE CONTROLS
 Almost
every device you have came with a remote control, some even are called
Universal Remote Controls. But every device, HDTV, or Home Theater
component has special features and functions, not supported by the generic
Universal Remotes, especially if you want "One Button" control of several
devices at once. For these you need Advanced Remote Controls, that
not only control everything, but reduce it all down to One Button tasks
that even a Cave Man could operate!
Click Here for Advanced Remote Controls.
- GOT HELP? GET AN
INSTALLATION & SETUP SERVICE
 With some of
today's HDTV and Home Theater systems, you may want to consider getting
expert help from certified technicians that can quickly install your HDTV
on your wall, hide the cables and wires, balance the display settings and
the 7.1 surround sound, for the maximum in sound and picture quality.
You can still tell your friends and family that you did it, it will just be our
secret!
Click Here for expert installation services
available when YOU want!
- GET A GUARANTEED
BUYBACK FOR YOUR HDTV
 Another way to
protect your investment, given the changing pace of technology, is to add a
Guaranteed Buyback to your HDTV purchase. This will guaranty the
trade-in value of your HDTV a year or two in the future, when you will be
ready to upgrade to the latest technology.

About HDTV Viewing Angles
The Viewing Angle of any TV is an important specification. The wider
the viewing angle, the more enjoyable your experience. Viewing angles
above 150° means you can view your TV from a reasonable range - from the
front and off to the sides. However, viewing angles above 170° are
best! Many of today's Plasma and LCD HDTVs offer viewing angles of
178°, and their images do not suffer from degradation at very high viewing
angles. LCD TVs were originally designed for a one user
experience, as a computer monitor, but the technology has kept pace with the
demands for ever increasing viewing angles, and most offer excellent viewing
experiences. Between LCD and Plasma; Plasma TVs have the advantage,
but by a small margin.
Viewing angles are not an issue with
projectors because the light source is coming from in front of the screen,
and not from behind. However, the surface on which you project (screen or
wall surface) may have a slight impact on viewing angles, so it is important
to choose the best screen possible. |
