rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nad_masters - I'm an advocate of over-the-air digital television. While I hate the idea of analog TV going away, I like that high-definition television programing is available for free. And yes, HD makes a huge difference! When I first bought...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jn_owensboro - About four years ago, I bought a Sanyo HDTV set. That set is long gone (and is a story worthy of its own telling), but the antenna I bought for it is still around and still providing me with digital TV reception. I knew very little about antennas and...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author jjbrunne - I bought this product to mount a CRT TV that I had. Pretty sturdy feeling and I thought that the installation instructions were pretty straightforward. However, I find that after installing it the shelf that the TV rests on is loose. The screws...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author splogue - I really hate having to split a line. It lowers the signal strength a lot, exposes the signal to interference, and creates a failure point. There isn't much you can do if you need a split, though, other than doing it as well as you possibly can. This...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author splogue - This is a very good choice for a mount if you don't need the ability to swing the TV left or right. It will handle a great deal of weight, which is not as important with LCDs, but plasmas are very heavy. In my case, I have a Samsung 52" LCD mounted to...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jonroy - I bought a Sharp Aquos before Christmas and recently started exploring OTA HDTV. When I bought my house there was an antenna in the attic (a classic VHF/UHF antenna), so I hooked that up to the TV to see what channels I could get. Unfortunately, my local...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pdvigil - I initially bought an RCA “HD” Antenna (Model # ANT525) have had some issues with the reception. Particularly on channel 13 (CBS) & channel 19-1. The straw that broke the camel’s back was during the NFL playoffs & the game was only on CBS. I...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dkozin - First, I need to point out that Terk HDTVi and HDTVa is not the same antenna. The HDTVa is the HDTVi with amplification. With this little detail taken care of, I have to say both work amazingly well. I live in a concrete building with no direct line...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jbdriverchris - I live in Central Arlington, TX. A suburb of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. When I set this up the first time it did not work. When I read the review on here the guy said it didn't work for HD with the knobs turned up at all. I check them, turned them...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dmh1967 - Something had to be done. The new 42" LCD screen Santa brought for Christmas was being used as a perch for one of my Ragdoll cats. Apparently, she is part bat and enjoys hanging partially upside down from the top of the screen. A wall mount was...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pt07 - Bought the Philips antenna amplifier PH61107 from walmart (on the shelf next to the coax cabling). Both the package and product advertise a 50-900 MHz freq range (for UHF). However, do a web search and you'll soon find it's actually 50-450 MHz (VHF and...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mywayny - I bought this product because I needed to mount my new 19 inch LCD HDTV in the garage and I wanted to ensure that it was hung properly and with a strong product. This is probably the best priced and best made wall mount for an LCD / Plasma between...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gmmcnair - I bought this outdoor antenna at Wal Mart after failing to receive a good signal on my digital channels with indoor antennas. I live very close to an airport in hilly surroundings, so my signal is weaker than many in our city. I figured that maybe a...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bobbyslav - I don't even know how many anetnnas I tried before this one, and all I can say is that I had lost all hope to be able to get good signal on all channels from one antenna. I only have basic cable, and with a TV and a DVD recorder with Digital tuners I...
