The high-performance HDTVa amplified indoor HDTV antenna from Terk Technologies is designed to capture both UHF and VHF signals (channels 2 to 69) while extending the reception range for all local HDTV broadcasts. The HDTVa uses an ultra-low-noise, high-gain amplifier with Terk's exclusive Dual-Drive Amplifier technology for clear reception of both distant and close HDTV and DTV stations.
Suitable for those living in city apartments as for those in suburban homes, the compact HDTVa lets viewers experience HDTV broadcasts in full resolution. Designed for total reception versatility, the HDTVa's high-gain antenna array can be oriented either horizontally or vertically within its mounting base to achieve optimum capture of off-air broadcasts.
The antenna is engineered to receive all local HDTV channels, with an operating bandwidth covering both the VHF (channels 2 to 13) and UHF (channels 14 to 69) frequency ranges. Its highly directional log periodic UHF and precision VHF elements are designed to receive HDTV broadcasts with maximum signal strength while rejecting all or most interference.
Set the amplifier to high-gain mode to compensate for signals that are too weak or might otherwise be bypassed for a stronger signals nearby.
Simplifying your installation, the HDTVa uses Terk's Power Injector to derive power via its coaxial connecting cable. The result? One cable is all you have to connect, making it easy to install the HDTVa atop or near your television.
As an added bonus, the HDTVa is as exceptional in appearance as it is in performance: its curved, tapering, polished-aluminum antenna elements are mounted in a slim base with a contoured front that visually complements the curve of the antenna elements.

This review is from: Terk HDTVA Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception (Electronics)
In Toronto's house, I used a RCA amplified antenna which got me,only 4 channels, CBC, CTV, TVO and Sun's HDTV. After I installed this Terk's HDTVA, it gives me ALL 9 HD channels possible, including CityTV Omni1 Omni2 Global and CBC French. I had to adjust the antenna direction to opposite of the CN Tower tough. This antenna has an in-line amplifier. When I turn the power off the amplifier, I lost some channels, so make sure you to buy Terk HDTV"A" model, Not Terk HDTV"i" model that has no amplifier.

Terk HDTVA,
This review is from: Terk HDTVA Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception (Electronics)
Antenna worked great once it had a clear view to the broadcasting site. It needs to be near a window or where I put it which was in my attic next to the air vents which pointed directly at the broadcasting facility (west in my case) Once I did this I had full signal strength. I found that if the antenna did not have the clear view the signal strength was affected and in some cases failed (weak or poor signal) Even small movements of the antenna (once pointing in the right direction)changed the reception on some channels greatly (ones where the broadcast facility was further away). Take the time to position it properly and reception will be great.

This review is from: Terk HDTVA Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception (Electronics)
Living in Downtown Montreal in a Second Floor of an Apartment building that doesn't have a balcony, nor does it face the 'South' to top that, towards nearby US States to target their Stations. This was a tough call, I was skeptical whether I should go for Terk HDTVa or Winegard SS-3000 - reading reviews from everywhere, watching video-reviews, took me atleast a week researching on which I should go for. I also consulted local tech columnists from CTV and CBC radio Montreal for their expert opinion for my situation and whilst it was positive, they were vary, stating, Downtown is a tricky business for gaining maximum signals, that too from an Indoor Antenna, but it isn't impossible. So I didn't know what to get from that. SS-3000 had all positive reviews, not one bad review to my surprise but there weren't that many reviews in total, whilst there were mixed reviews for Terk HDTVa but the reviews were in abundance. What drew me closer to SS-3000 at first was that many of the people who reviewed were people in apartment buildings and in similar positions. I had doubts and was confused and didn't know which one to opt for. In the end, I went with my gut feeling, keeping in mind the 'Range' for Terk (45m) as opposed to SS-3000 (30m) and it paid off. It arrived within 2 days (I chose Free Savers Shipping) and it came from Mississauga, ONT with Canada Post. From the time you order - it ships the following day, and for me it came the morning after shipment (today) - The packaging was very secure. Initially, I was worried, since it was my first time ordering online, thinking 'what if a part came missing, or if it was defective,' but the packaging was surprisingly safe with air-filled bags securing it. It was pretty simple to set up, the amount of videos I had seen I didn't need to read the manual to figure it out. I didn't rearrange anything and plugged everything right in, and boom, the channels kept coming. I now have 17 channels, previously I had 6. I have an HDTV with a built-in Digital Tuner so previously all I had to do was plug in a Coaxial Cable into an Electrical Outlet to get my limited channels. I plan to rearrange my settings, and I won't be surprised if I pick up more signals. Very happy with the product. This has been a long review, I now have to go watch some TV..Edit (Hours Later): Just updating things here. As suspected, I've gotten more channels after tweaking a bit. I turned off the AMP and noticed better Signals on most of the sub-channels, and pulled up the VHF Dipoles, I now get 22 channels. Didn't need to rearrange anything.
