Terk HDTVs outdoor high-definition antenna

Date Published: 4/23/08

The Terk HDTVs is an outdoor high-definition antenna that can supply HD reception in a wide range of installation environments, including amongst urban high-rises.

The HDTVs antenna has a compact and unusual rectangular design, and it comes with mounting hardware for easy installation on a roof, balcony railing, or outdoor wall. A mounting pipe and foot are provided, and the included clamp assembly can be swiveled to adjust the antenna's position for optimal reception. The plastic housing for the HDTVs can even be painted to blend in with a building's or house's siding or facade.

The HDTVs is an ideal unit for city dwellers, as it can receive signals reflected off neighboring buildings. It is designed for pulling in UHF and VHF channels, with a digital range of up to 15 miles for channels 2 to 6, 40 miles for 7 to 13, and 50 miles for 14 to 69.

The promise of HDTV is almost here, and the HDTVs antenna from Terk can help to fulfill that promise.
