Is this one any good? It looks weird. ;)

This is the Terk tabletop antenna. All reports I've heard about Terk
antennas have been negative. Never used one, and don't plan to. Also
they're high-priced compared to similar designs, and the $56.99 "sale"
price in your Best Buy ad is among the highest I've seen.

Instead I recommend the Zenith Silver Sensor, as do others who've
tried it. $19.99 at Amazon, which is where I got mine. Here's a link
to several vendors:

Looks superficially similar to the Terk, but the elements are swept
back instead of forward. Probably makes all the difference. For that
price you can afford to try it out; you won't have lost much if it
doesn't work for you.

My Zenith works very well for my locals (11 mi.) and also for a more
distant station (28 mi.). Although intended for UHF only, it does
fine on my one VHF digital on real channel 12.

NO. I have NEVER heard good things about Terk brand antennas, although
I have never owned one.

all are listed as outdoor antennas, but they will work great indoors,
at your range, just turn the antenna for best signal, you can place
them behind a curtain, your computer, wherever.
