Our take on the Terk TV4

Here's a stylish alternative to "rabbit ears" for folks who live in urban or suburban areas with strong TV signals. Terk's TV4 uses twin-tuned horizontal receiving elements that are less than 5 inches high — nice and low for sitting on top of your TV or cabinet. These horizontal elements not only look better than rabbit ears, they also work better because they require less adjustment — they're always in matched position. Directional tuning for individual stations is simple: just rotate the antenna's elements to zero in on the best reception.

Details:
  • compact matched-pair receiving elements
  • receives digital and analog UHF/VHF TV signals (channels 2-69)
  • includes 300-ohm to 75-ohm coax adapter
  • pre-attached 70" coax cable
  • 25-1/4"W x 4-11/16"H x 11-13/16"D
  • warranty: 1 year

Terk TV4

Written By Mike, Baltimore, MD on Monday, October 23, 2006
 
I bought this antenna because of its sleek design and I have never had a bad product from Terk. I was very disapointed with this antenna. It did get better reception than the standard rabbit ears, however, the reception quality was poor across all channels. I have since replaced this antenna with an amplified model and it outperforms the Terk...except for its looks.

This is a dandy little indoor TV antenna that is not
only sleek looking but brings to life my local stations.
There is no compromise on either sound or vision. I am
very happy with my purchase.
