The Terk Amplified Television Antenna has won the 2009 CES Innovations Design and Engineering award. It is claimed to be the best amplified indoor television antenna available in the market today. Priced at $89.95 a pop, the antenna adopts a low-noise filtering chipset that suppresses any interfering noise, ensuring unambiguous reception. The antenna can be wall mounted, placed flat, or stood vertically. It is multidirectional, so it does not need to be adjusted like other antennas that have to be “pointed” in the right direction. The Terk Amplified Indoor TV antenna has a removable 10dB gain amplifier that enables it to receive the best possible reception in all environments. This high quality antenna can also receive high-definition digital broadcasts (requires HDTV). [Hammacher]
