Don't worry about having to learn new channel numbers, but if one day you old favorite channels start work, just go through the process of 'scanning for channels' like you did when you first hooked up your antenna ( not worth disillusioning the details).In general, the higher you place your antenna, the better. Walmart and Target have a reasonable selection at good prices.įor those of you new to OTA television, there will be some changes coming later this year. Even if you are inside, try to mount your antenna as high as possible, like on the top of a tall bookcase. My inlaws went 'Over The Air' OTA a few months ago using indoor antennas even though the close broadcast station are over 20 miles away. Outdoor 'HDTV antennas' are typically smaller than their much older cousins (I won't try to explain why). an indoor amplified antenna may be adequate in urban areas but the farther out you get from the transmit site the less effective that antenna may be.

a 50-yr old TV antenna in good physical condition with the proper cable will receive the new digital signals perfectly well. There is no such thing as an HDTV antenna.

HEIGHT IS MIGHT when it comes to VHF/UHF radio (Television is in teh VHF and UHF bands) and an antenna with GAIN (Directional) can see farther in the direction it is pointed and has other benefits as well.įor a house I'd recommend a big channel master atop a tower or mastįor an RV a Winegard Sensar IV with Sensar PRO indoor module. also no height less you are on like the 10th floor of a building.

no gain to speak of, nothing to recommend it over a good antenna. How it works, Simple over the air radio antenna. just a Radio antenna (Television, be it digital or analog is really radio).Īnd 'Free to seniors'. Does anybody know anything this?Īs others have said there is no such thing as an HDTV antenna. I just read an article about how great the clearview hdtv antenna is and how it is better than cable or satellite. Any claims to the contrary are at best misleading. A 50 year-old antenna will work just fine for HDTV. What is now Channel 2 in one area may be broadcasting where Channel 63 used to be. The channels used now are the same as channels used before, the numbers just don't translate into frequencies as they used to. DougĪs an engineer, I can assure you there is no such thing as a digital antenna or HDTV antenna. The antenna I purchased(RCA) sits in the attic and receives both analog and Digital as well as that large Di pole I had and took down.

Those were large Di pole antenna's and very hard to install in the attic, which I did. MOST communities restrict (prohibit) roof top VHF/UFH dipole antenna's that everyone had 70 years ago until 2008. The reception is fantastic and this antenna was marketed for Digital enhancement. I purchased a RCA specific Antenna(about 24 inches long oval about 4 inches across and 1 inch deep) 10 years ago to the various digital broadcasters in my DFW, Texas area. Winegard has for years a Wingman add on for better Digital reception. the TV receiver (your TV set) decodes the transmissions and displays the picture. TV antennas are designed for a specific frequency range and not modes of transmissions. you were using the day before analog TV went dark is the same antenna you could use the next day to receive digital transmissions. There is no such thing as a 'Digital type antenna'. '.you probably will NOT receive OTA reception unless you have a roof top powerfull Digital type antenna.' Pretty much accurate, Doug, except for this:
