Terk HDTVo & Combining OTA

[ClevelandRob]

I currently have a Radioshack HDTV antenna in my attic and still lose out on a few stations. I am only 15 miles from the farthest tower and still lose some stations regularly. I am thinking of ordering a Terk HDTVo (outdoor/indoor) antenna on Amazon to see if that helps my signal. I've got two questions...

Has anyone used this antenna??
&
Can you combine two OTA antenna signals into a single coax for improved reception? (That way if one antenna picks up certain stations better than the other)

Thanks.

combining 2 antennas is not suggested for the antennas you have in mind to improve signal.

what is your zipcode so we may better assist you.

my zip is 44087...

All I am really concerned with is NBC (best signal), ABC, CBS (worst signal) and FOX... CW will be available in the spring on 55.1

Terk's are usually over priced and under perform.

For that price you can get a really good Channel Master or Winegard antenna that may not even need an amplifier.

I have tried combining antennas, you get muti-path issues, save yourself some money and try the Zenith Silver Sensor, my terk antenna went in the dumpster.

ABSOLUTELY do not waste your money on Terk.

I have a Silver Sensor and it works great. I returned my Terk 5. It didnt work nearly as good as the Silver Sensor and was more than double the price.
