The
Terk HD-TVS may give antenna purists convulsions with its
style-conscious looks, but this antenna is not just a pretty face -
there is some real substance behind this award-winning antenna.
Utilizing Winegard's Square Shooter design and technology, the antenna
- which is roughly the size of a medium pizza box -- effectively pulls
in both UHF and VHF signals from respectable distances.
The HD-TVS was built for a fairly specific market segment, namely those
in urban areas. The reason being that the HD-TVS was optimized to pull
in reflected signals. So if you look out your window and see a
skyscraper -- this is the antenna for you. If you are in a more rural
area there are better choices..
Installation is a fairly simple affair. The antenna mounts on the same
type of mast as that a standard digital satellite uses -- in fact if
you already have a DS dish, you can mount the HD-TVS to that mast using
the supplied hardware. This allows you to have a single mast attached
to your home. But if you chose another method of installation, thats no
problem either, as all the necessary installation hardware is included
for multiple installation options. Another nice thing about the unit is
that it can be painted to better match your home or apartment.
You can buy better antennas for your money, but if you are in
an urban area and want something that doesn't look like you're running
a radio station in your basement, this is a solid choice.
