3 Points to Consider When Choosing the Right HDTV Antenna
Signal Formats •
Although it sounds complex, the key to a good picture is to ensure that the signal format you’re choosing when you select an antenna is the right one for your area. For example, analogue broadcasts are often known as NTSC.
•
This has long been the most popular broadcasting format because it offered high quality with little interference. However, what it did do was “ghosting”. • This is where the signal had a tendency to face, especially in particularly hot or stormy weather. •
For this reason, some broadcasters now favour an ATSC digital signal which offers an all or nothing approach.

What you need to consider here is what most of the broadcasters you’re looking to enjoy use so that you can select the appropriate aerial to receive the best signal from them.
Directional •
You’ll be given a choice by any HDTV Aerial supplier whether you want a directional or omni-directional antenna. Essentially, if all of your broadcasters are coming from the same direction or place then a directional antenna is the best measure for you.
•
However, if you’re expecting signals from a variety of places, you’ll need an antenna which can pick them all from their location which means that an omni-directional antenna will be able to detect and stream all of the incoming signals to your device.
Amplifier •
If you live further than 50 miles from the location of your main broadcasting signal, an amplifier will help to strengthen the signal being received into your television device which in turn has the benefit of giving you a clearer picture and a crisper sound.
•
You’ll also receive a much faster relay, meaning the signal is far less likely to be interrupted.
•
Deciding what is the best option for you can be a tricky process, which is why it is always best t speak to an expert who can provide you with industry advice.
