Hi! I have two local channels that transmit a Hi-V signal. I can get every channel but these. If I purchased this antenna, will that work?

I use the Terk on my garage television and I get almost every channel of the basic cable which I have inside the house. It works very well, I do recommend it.

I'm using DirecTV with mine so I'm not sure if you'll require an antenna to receive the local channel feed.

This is a mid-range antenna, not a long range. And, I'm in a reception "hole" since broadcast went digital. When broadcast was analog, I could receive Dayton channels, sixty plus miles away. I could not receive even the strongest station with this antenna; but I can receive the Public channel, Bowling Green , which is slightly further away in the opposite direction. I'm not familiar with the antenna to which you referred in your query. If it works well for you, let me know.

Sorry, I have no experience in this area, but I am sure if you are parked and within 20-30 miles of an urban area, I am sure your TV will search and register the local channels. Any adjustments can be made by merely moving the small antenna one way or another.

Yes. We've used several different channels and they all work fine (As long as you are both on the same channel of course) We've only used them for short distance, but I am very pleased with the quality.

It should work perfectly. I bought this to replace a cheaper antenna that stopped working. I highly recommend.

You bet it works for that! I'm 40+ miles away from the DTV transmitter sites. Have a CM4228 antenna in the attic. Been using an EDA-2100 to boost the signals. Works great! In fact, I just cascaded a second amp to improve our Fox TV affiliate signal just a bit. So I have two of these amps essentially on series. No overload, and they work great in this configuration.

I believe the preamp will work on most any kind of antenna. Put it close to the antenna.

I live about 15 miles from the antenna that transmits the signals from most of the stations and I get very good reception. I have mine in the basement and I have a very small window facing the direction where the antenna is, and I get all of the channels. Here in Minneapolis and St. Paul, there are a couple of main antennas that do this and I happen to know where they are. Maybe you are not facing the right direction, or maybe there are too many buildings or interference in the way, or maybe you live too far. Find out where the antenna that transmits the signal is and make it face that way. Since I bought mine, I get all of the channels. Before this one, I tried two different ones (RCA and another one) and neither worked. This one is so far by far the best. I think if I bring it to the main floor I will even get more channels. I hope it helps.

We did. My high performance gets about 30 channels in my area. My son's (in the same house) extreme antenna gets 2-3 more channels and is more solid on some of the channels that are a little shaky on mine. Although the extreme is an improvement, I personally wouldn't pay double for it (although I probably would have been willing to pay $10 more for it), but that's up to you.

I have the same antenna, connected to a digital tv and it works well. Reception of course depends on the area in which you reside (if in a large city with tall buildings, reception is better on higher floors). If you have an analog tv, then it is necessary to connect the antenna with a coaxial cable at "IN" on a converter box, then connect another coaxial cable going "out" on the converter box and to the analog tv. I hope this helps answer your question.

I agree with Charles. If the signal is strong enough, it should pick up the channel. I need to move the antenna periodically, but not that often. My antenna picks up two 7.1s and two 7.2s. I hope this helps!

I bought this so I could hook 2 tvs into one dish box and it didn't work. 1 tv would have a decent picture, the other (on the same channel) was all fuzzy. I can't say for sure that it would work, but since your not splitting the signal, it should.

No one else seemed to address the real reason this may work on channels 2-5. Most HD stations are broadcasting at different (ie higher) digital channel and your TV translates it to the correct 'virtual' channel. For example, in Greenville, SC channel 4 (4.1) broadcasts on digital channel 35 but you see it on your TV as 4.1.

This antenna works OK by itself in my application. I am 20-25 miles from the broadcast antenna, and over a hill or two. I think the documentation tells what channels it is optimum for. As I recall, it is the high VHF channels (9-13). It will work with another antenna since it includes the balancing connection. One thing to remember is that the channel may not broadcast on the channel your TV displays. For example, our channel 7 actually broadcasts on 39.

This antenna works like the old TV antennas known as "rabbit ears", except it is made for the newer digital channels and HDTV. The antenna uses the coax cable antenna input on the TV. My guess is that it will work great no matter where you live or what brand of TV you have, as long as the TV has the correct antenna input and you live close enough to the TV station's antenna to receive the signal. I live in the Phoenix metro area and this antenna works great about 10 miles from the station antennas. I have tried this antenna with Mitsubishi and JVC TV's with excellent results.

your smart HDTV will get local channels once you connect an antenna. The converter box is for old TVs. Get a magnovox or phillips antenna.
