While big multidirectional antennas get the best tv signal reception, I actually prefer dealing with more compact units that are similarly multidirectional but are easier to set up around the house. The Pingbingding WA-2900A antenna has such a design and offers tools-free assembly along with an installation kit consisting of useful items like a coaxial […]
You might say that some antennas are for the experts – they’re complex to set up and might be mistaken for army radars. But others are designed for newbies. Such starter antennas can be set up quickly and get you going with over-the-air television. If this is your first time purchasing an antenna, I’d recommend […]
If you’re looking for a compact, multidirectional antenna, then you should consider the Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V. Its distinctive loop design and manageable size make it both aesthetic and easy to set up and mount in a variety of places around your home.

There’s a game-changing innovation in the works for those of us who get over-the-air (OTA) television with an antenna. The 2009 switch from analog to digital was significant, but this next one has a chance to be even bigger. It’s the move to a new generation called, appropriately enough, Next Gen TV. Over the past […]
Seems like everything’s digital these days, and television’s no exception. But just what does it mean when we say, “digital television (DTV)?” After all, you still get the same kinds of programs you did in the analog days (i.e., pre-2009), and you can still pick up over the air (OTA) radio frequency waves with the […]
Stormy weather makes for a great time to stay indoors and watch TV. But will TV signal problems invariably crop up when you’re watching over the air (OTA) channels with an outdoor antenna? Poor TV Reception in Bad Weather Weather can indeed affect your reception. Heavy rain, high winds, and high pressure systems all have […]
So your HDTV antenna has arrived and you’ve spotted the ideal place for it on your roof. But how and where do you aim the thing? Trust me, it’s actually not complicated. It’ll just depend on where your home is located and which local channels you’re looking to receive. Read on to find out how […]
Even in the age of digital broadcast television, outdoor antennas are more popular than ever. But not everyone is lucky enough to be located in a place that has optimal TV signal reception. Those living in remote areas tend to benefit the most from high-gain antennas mounted outdoors and on rooftops. It’s not enough, however, […]
When you’re thinking about cutting the cord, nothing is easier than replacing expensive cable with free, over-the-air broadcast television. All you need is an antenna. But do you need an antenna for each TV in your house? Probably not. The truth is, depending on the layout of your house, the number of televisions you have, […]
When describing TV antennas, we often talk about form and function. Technically speaking, indoor and outdoor antennas are made of similar receptive materials (e.g., copper and aluminium) that receive radio frequency waves moving through the air, and convert these into electrical signals that go into your television. So in terms of function, indoor and outdoor […]
