Yes Terk TV5 Is A Far Superior Antenna Way Better Than Any Rabbit Ears
Let's face it, analog TV is history and it looks like CRAP. 
It's your antenna. What you see are digital drop outs due to weak reception. I tested several antennas in my location where I got ZERO reception from rabbit ears and other designs. Based on my experience, ONLY the Terk TV5 receives any and all of my 10 digital off-air channels although I am facing the OPPOSITE direction from the transmitters. It is a powered antenna that will give you a far superior signal and NO dropouts. You'll be very glad you invested in the Terk TV5 for only $35.71 at Amazon.com with free shipping. Any old A/B Switch would work to feed the Hybrid from different sources like cable and the off-air antenna. You'll have to experiment with your cable to see if you can get any digital channels passed though. I personally don't use analog signals any more. From my point of view, if it ain't digital, I ain't watching.Is this antenna all it's said to be? I have a set of old fashion rabbit ears, and I am able to pick up my HD signals, but I have noticed that when recording I get, what I can only call, static in my digital channels. A better description would probably be that I see black blocks and I lose a few seconds worth of frames. Could this be attributed to my antenna, or possibly another problem? I have a Mac Pro, so that should be more than enough power.
Also, is there a way where I could use two incoming signals and somehow connect it to the Hybrid, one cable & one antenna connection, fed to an antenna with a switch?
