(TV5) Antenna Indoor Low-Profile Terk





0ur opinion:

:
The TV5 antenna is a perfect primary set-top antenna in suburban or outlying areas. TV5 combines a high-performance amplified antenna with a low-profile design that fits on top of any television, and even fits inside most television cabinets. TV5 features TERK's unique Complementary Symmetry technology, incorporating a pair of tuned receiving elements for excellent reception range and clarity. TV5's low-noise broadband amplifier features a simple one-touch adjust for all stations, and TERK's patented selectable amplifier bypass prevents over-modulation of stronger incoming signals. The integrated video selector switches between the antenna and any video component such as a DVD, VCR or Video Game at the touch of a button, without having to change any connections. TERK's indoor television antennas are engineered with premium materials resulting in a durable, high-performance antenna that will look great on any TV for years to come.

Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - * Excellent, Excellent, Antenna!!!! ...
I'm not on cable or satellite. I've been searching for a decent antenna for a long time. I've been through 3 just in the last two weeks! I got a tip about Terk and decided to try it. I had never even heard of it. OMG!!!! I get all the digital channels and even some I never knew were there! If you need a great antenna you don't need to search any further! You found it!


Buyer's feedback: 5 out of 5 stars - A Great Indoor Antenna
I had tried to use my old antenna, but it would not pick up many TV digital stations. The Terk TV5 is very effective in receiving the new digital signals.


Buyer's feedback: 4 out of 5 stars - * Good antenna for the price ...
I purchased this antenna in early 2007. As of today (8-8-08), I'm able to pick up at least 19 digital US channels and 2 digital Mexican channels on my Polaroid 32" HDTV (I live 8 miles away from the border). CBS and NBC have strong signals, while with ABC, I have to move the antenna around a bit to find the best spot. Moving the antenna means I have to readjust it for the Mexican digital channels. The NBC signal is strong as sometimes I can watch their 2 digital channels with no antenna. Regular rabbit ears are useless for digital channels where I live. I don't know why the government sponsored DTV commercials say: "All you need is the same antenna you are using to watch over-the-air channels". I haven't tried any other antenna to get ABC, but I recently purchased a rooftop antenna for my second TV.


Buyer's feedback: 1 out of 5 stars - Not as advertised
This product is one of the worst I have ever purchased. It sounded so good with many features. What I found was that there was no difference in the received signal was the same no matter what mode the unit was placed in. The gain control video switch had no affect on the received signal. It does have noticeable directivity. it was very disappointing as the unit looks well constructed.


Buyer's feedback: 2 out of 5 stars - * Looks Good on Top of the TV ...
Based on the glowing reviews I read about this product I guess I was expecting too much. After trying the antenna in several locations around the room, I went back to my old rabbit ears (markedly better reception than the Terk --- even for local HD stations) and then moved the Terk to a another set in the house. Even there it made very little difference from what I was getting with a $10 set of ears from Wal-Mart. Decided to keep the Terk, however, since I expect to eventually move and hope it will work better in a new local not surrounded by trees.

Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street
$22.99



Stephen Sondheim's Victorian horror thriller Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is generally considered his greatest work, macabre but darkly humorous with a viscerally powerful score that has found a home both on Broadway and in opera houses. George Hearn (who replaced Len Cariou of the original Broadway cast) plays the title character, a wronged man whose lust for revenge drives him to murder (an 18th-century legend who has been traced to a real-life barber), and Angela Lansbury plays his partner in crime, Mrs. Lovett, who finds a practical business use for Todd's victims. This combination of horror and humor is echoed in Sondheim's score: brooding menace ("The Ballad of Sweeney Todd," "My Friend"), achingly beautiful ballads ("Johanna," "Not While I'm Around"), clever puns ("A Little Priest"), coloratura arias ("Green Finch and Linnet Bird"), and intricate choral and ensemble numbers.

Continuing a fortuitous tradition of capturing the Sondheim legacy on video recordings, this performance was filmed before a live audience in Los Angeles during the 1982 national tour. Almost 20 years later, Hearn returned to the role opposite Patti LuPone in an acclaimed concert production. But Sweeney Todd is an especially compelling experience in this 1982 version, complete with the clever staging tricks (e.g., the barber's chair) and as close to the original cast as we're likely to see. --David Horiuchi

Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella
$9.99



A guilty, guilty pleasure, perhaps not one a left-wing feminist should be admitting to in public. Female boomers should recall yearly TV reruns of this Rodgers and Hammerstein production, featuring such delights as "Impossible" and "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" It may appear a bit stark to younger viewers, but part of the charm of this 1964 network TV special, a remake of the live 1957 telecast originally built around Julie Andrews, is its utter simplicity. An extremely young Lesley Ann Warren and Stuart Damon (of General Hospital fame) are joined by Ginger Rogers, Walter Pidgeon, and Celeste Holm. Warren is all sweetness and innocence without a hint of saccharine artificiality, while Damon is a clear-eyed romantic. This very handsome love story is a bit of an oddity, but worth owning just for the memorable score. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Hairspray
$9.49



John Waters made his bid for PG respectability with this enjoyably trashy comedy about the racial integration of a teen dance show on Baltimore television in the early '60s. Waters, as always, makes a virtue of junk culture and the powerful emotional forces it can represent as kids vie to get on the show. Meanwhile, a parade of former stars (Pia Zadora, Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono) and pseudostars (Divine, Ricki Lake) cross the screen, playing freakish characters absorbed by thoughts of fame. (Waters himself turns up as a weirdo psychiatrist.) This transitional film for Waters is rough going at times and not as interesting or funny as his later features Cry-Baby and Serial Mom, but it's worth a look. --Tom Keogh

Waking Up Laughing
$14.99



Martina McBride has long been a champion of music as social consciousness, particularly for abused women ("Independence Day") and children. On Waking Up Laughing, her ninth album and the follow-up to Timeless, her platinum-selling album of country classics, she advances the theme while expanding it. While two songs explore the issue of unwed mothers (particularly the exquisite "Love Land," which closes the album), and another, "Beautiful Again," touches on child sexual abuse, her overall repertoire embraces the wholeness of family, and of standing strong together in the face of adversity and defeat. Musically, McBride has always proved to be an elegant thorn--her song selection is often inspired (and here, she co-wrote three tunes, including the skyscraping single "Anyway"), but she has tended to use her huge, ride-the-wave soprano full-tilt, without employing the subtle shadings that would make her even more emotionally resonant. On Waking Up Laughing she seems to have worked on the problem, yet in her second foray as solo producer, she still tends to gild the lily instrumentally--inflating string bridges between choruses, for example, or loading the opening country-pop track, "If I Had Your Name," with a Southern-rock guitar break, a listen-to-me fiddle showcase, a Celtic guitar intro, and a close that brings to mind George Harrison's sitar in play-it-backward mode. That said, she makes fine use of what sounds like a black female choir on the uplifting "For These Times," and wisely keeps the haunting break-up ballad "Tryin' to Find a Reason" (with Keith Urban's harmony vocals and guitar solo) lean and affecting. As McBride works to refine her pastiche of creativity, commerciality, and social awareness, she slyly takes more chances than one might think, all the while rallying old fans and making new ones. --Alanna Nash
The Muppet Christmas Carol
$10.99



For right-minded buyers of the reissued Muppet Christmas Carol soundtrack, the odds of disappointment are about as remote as Miss Piggy's chances with Kermit. If you loved the movie, you will love the loopy mayhem of the Muppet Brass Buskers ("Good King Wenceslas"), the cartoonish malice of the black-hearted misanthropes Marley & Marley ("Marley & Marley"), and the hope-swollen harmonies of Tiny Tim and Family ("Bless Us All"), Muppeted here to hilariously humble effect. If, on the other hand, your interest in this disc has more to do with its inclusion in the way-narrow Christmas-record-for-kids category--if the spirit of the season doesn't extend, for you, to the magic of the Muppets--you may want to keep browsing, as it's a soundtrack first (overture, instrumentals, and all) and a Christmas CD second. That's not to suggest you're stuck with an un-fun disc should it land on your holiday stack without a prior screening, though. Miles Goodman's score sweeps and inspires, and certain tracks--"One More Sleep 'til Christmas" and "Fozziwig's Party"--are future classics. (Note to the right-minded: After a misstep on the original release, Martina McBride's version of "When Love is Gone" is back.) -Tammy La Gorce
