When did you try the Terk HDTVi, and did you receive analog, digital or both?

Digital reception usually requires you to change from cable to antenna or 'air' mode using the setup menu system of your television. failure to set the tuner to antenna mode may still allow reception of the few analog signals still on the air.

If you did receive a few digital signals, but it was a few years ago, before the bulk of the analog to digital transition in 2009, I wold try again. The adjustable rods are at the back of the HDTVi, point the front toward the SSW for most signals and NW for another group. In either case, placing the antenna so it has a view through the least obstructions will give it the best opportunity to intercept usable signals.

If your house is sided or insulated with materials that include metal, it may be very difficult to find usable signal inside the house.
