TERK Signal Finder 4+

I bought the Terk antenna and downloaded the app. There was also a Terk xtend app I downloaded as well. It appears the three lights on the device are lit and working fine. When I tried to open to scan or update my location both apps close abruptly. I don’t know if I am connected or not however I did get 35 over the air channels. Picture quality appears to be HD.

This app and the TERK amplified antenna I used it with took a few tries in different locations in my house to get all of the stations I wanted. It requires some patience but the result was worth it for me. The app pointed me to the stations accurately a turning the antenna mount 90 degrees and moving it in line of sight of a window, even ten feet away from another location, was key. Major networks are clear and in high definition without lag.

The app itself is self explanatory to use and doesn’t have bloat or ads.

Digital broadcast is good for local sports and news if you’re willing to take the time and understand the technology and it’s limitations. It’s not exactly line of sight but it’s finicky and the signal doesn’t pass through several layers of wooden exterior and interior walls which is kind of disappointing. If you don’t want to move the antenna sometimes to get different channels, or fool with the setup, you might get frustrated. I am happy not to be paying $70 a month for streaming package to watch local sports that I can get with an antenna that cost me $60 one time.

I downloaded it off the Apple Store to install the HDTV antenna. Followed specific directions and the app itself wouldn’t even work. I would enter my address and it would search and close out. Finally gave up on doing that and just installing. I got 8 channels only. Went to view them and nothing. Did it again same story. I’m taking this back to the store tomorrow spent way too long with zero results. Also the antenna itself is huge! I did not expect it to be this big. I thought I could have it hidden somewhere, no hiding it
