Installing the Right Over-The-Air (OTA) Antenna

Article Category: Computers and Technology

Author Name: Jeffrey Wayne

Because of the current rise in the popularity of high definition (HD) television in recent years, a lot of people are trying to find out how to get it. Truth is, with the right type of over-the-air (OTA) antenna installed, people can have free access to local HDTV. A professional TV antenna installer can help you select the right type of antenna and have it properly installed. In addition, they can also offer other useful tips on how to optimize your HDTV reception.

Most local TV stations are mandated by law to broadcast in HD, and if you live in a community where local programs are broadcast in high definition, then you are in luck. You will be able to get first-rate TV entertainment right in your living room at no cost provided you have the right tuner, the right TV set, and the right OTA antenna installed on your rooftop. If you are unsure as to whether your existing set is HDTV-ready, you can ask your local antenna installer or the nearest consumer electronics shop.

If your intention is to have your free local HD programming integrated with TiVo, you can get subscription for an HD TiVo box that will combine satellite broadcasts with free OTA stations. With a powerful OTA antenna, you will receive local programming in high definition. And since UHF and VHF bands are still used by HD stations for broadcasting, most old antennas you find on roofs are capable of receiving high definition signals. More compact antennas may be used to pull in far away signals.

A lot of people normally cannot distinguish between DirecTV and local HD although in some cases, the differences can be pretty glaring. While DirecTV transmits well-compressed high definition signals through satellite, most local stations tend to send signals in far less compressed formats that provide for better resolution. HD local stations received through an over-the-air antenna are probably the best in terms of picture quality.

In choosing the antenna to buy, consider one that is approved by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). The CEA classifies various types of antennas using a color coding scheme that pertains to the recommended antenna and how far the broadcast site is from your home.

A good antenna installer can help you in the antenna selection process. After all, various types of antennas including multi-dimensional ones are available for different uses. A non-amplified multi-dimensional antenna is used for "red" or closer signals. It is specifically designed for pulling in television signals from comparatively nearer sources. "Blue" antennas, on the other hand, may be used to get signals from sources further away.

It is important to note that even if you reside within receiving range of particular signals, the type of antenna you use cannot guaranty reception. Factors such as buildings or mountains blocking the line of sight may come into the fray. In such cases, even the most powerful antenna in the world cannot help you. It is also important to keep in mind that although you can install an antenna on your own, getting the services of an antenna installer is always a better option to ensure optimized free HDTV reception for your home.
