 Epiphany! January 6, 2009
We bought this antenna several months ago. We set up the rabbit ears but didn't have a place to connect the UHF loop. We were a little disappointed that we were only getting 2 channels. But college football bowl week motivated us to find a solution. My husband looked online at the product manual for our tv and discovered the solution was quite simple. All we had to do to get more channels was push the menu button on our remote then change the "tuning source" to "air" or "antenna". Boom instant Fiesta Bowl. Hope this helps someone out there who might also be stuck.
good antenna December 14, 2008
This antenna is a good surprise.Try it in any room. It adds channels I couldn't get before.
Best Antenna for the Money December 13, 2008

Just received this antenna today and hooked it up to our Dish TR-40cra ([...]) analog to digital converter and it works fabulously! We live in a major metropolitan area and our TV is in the basement. With the converter and antenna we were able to get all of our regular stations (with no analog fuzz!) plus several other extra channels.
I previously had an expensive Radio Shack antenna hooked up to the converter box and the reception we were able to get with it was much weaker than with this antenna.
HD clarity is awesome - the same as $37 HDTV antenna November 19, 2008

It's true, this works as well as the $37 dollar Terk HDTVa antenna. My review from that product page ...
I bought a new flatscreen and two friends told me about free HD channels. I didn't really get what they were talking about, but one insisted that I specifically needed an HDTV antenna. The other claimed that it was all marketing and regular rabbit ears would do the trick. I'll cut to the punchline, rabbit ears work exactly the same as this fancier, more expensive Terk HDTVa antenna.
Specifics:
* I live on Capital Hill in Seattle, WA
* I've a Panasonic 780p 42" TV
* the TV scans for digital channels once the antenna is hooked up
* I tried the Terk HDTVa first, it worked great
* Next I tried the $14 Terk TV-1 passive TV antenna, it worked easil as great
* I believe I get around 25 free digital channels - things like ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, religous channels, PBS, Hispanic channels -- these are numbered like 4-1, 5-1, 9-1, 9-2, 9-3
If you don't do the digital scan thing (it's a setting in the menu of the TV) then you won't see the glory of digital TV. It's basically regular TV with a better-than-cable picture. And there are all sorts of extra channels out there (PBS has about 3 or 4 channels) of stuff you can't see with regular TV. I actually don't watch TV at all, but it's good for Thanksgiving football I suppose. Mostly I was intrigued with whether the HDTV antenna stuff was marketing or truth. After this a/b test it appears to be pure marketing.
Added benefit - the HDTV antennas are techie looking. I suppose "cool" by some male standards but I personally love the simplicity of the rabbit ears, which are hidden behind the profile of my TV so you never see them.
... or just hook up your current antenna, have your TV scan for digital channels (it's got to be a new TV for this feature, I'm told) and see what you get. Okay, I've spent way too much time thinking and typing about a TV signal I will rarely use. See you at the movies!
GOOD PRICE FOR GOOD RECEPTION! November 13, 2008
I have just installed 2 of these antennas for 2 of my old TV sets combined with the HD converter boxes. So far reception is good and it gives me all local channels in Chicago. Price is right for the quality of image I get. If anybody is looking for more channels or super HD reception then get cable or satelite. No compaints from me so far.
