TV Antennas

Posted on April 10th, 2011 in Home & Decorations | No Comments »

Those wishing to receive free over the air (OTA) Digital / HD TV signals must be sufficiently close to broadcast towers to get them. At the same time that the old VHF / UHF antenna remained standing high up on the roof, next to the fireplace, or in the attic of work to get these signals.

Almost any television antenna can receive digital signals.

Today the new so-called “digital antennas are then refinements for this kind of reception. However, most digital / HD signals present in very high and very high frequency bands (VHF / UHF) in the same way as the older analog television signals are. Thus, the old antenna design with these qualities will work for digital reception / HD, too.

Old antenna with a combined VHF / UHF capabilities (such as large flat UHF antenna having a large number of crossbars plus V-or-curved reflector UHF with shorter bolts to the front of it) works well for these digital signals under the right conditions.

However, some of our older suffer from occasional TV interference and choppy reception with these particular antennas. Part of this interference can come from inside the house, along with those from various external debris, electrical interference, and weather conditions.

Recently, we remembered the old unused one directional VHF / UHF antenna is hanging in the attic. We hooked her up to two of our TV. Wallach! The result has been improved and more stable OTA reception for these two TV’s. This antenna has already been pointed out to the east of our main transmission tower 15 miles away.

Tips for this kind of reception set up.

* Analog to digital converter is required at the senior non-digital TVs. It also simplifies the selection of channels for new digital ones.

* Height counts. Lift or extend the antenna (including indoor telescopic adjustable type of rabbit-ear) as high as possible to enhance signal reception. Also, if possible, or if it is allowed, the place of the old external antenna high on the roof of the house or on a tower next to it. Such a high organization addresses the most common obstacles and obstructions. In addition, upper level loft can hold a sufficiently large external antenna with minimal hassle.

* Size matters. Many of the older antennas is sufficiently large that it’s okay. These large antennas pick up more signals and to stabilize it. In addition, the stacking of two interconnected antennas on the mast of the same leads to an increase in the size of the antenna, if necessary.
