Since you have all ready invested a quite of few bucks into a high definition television, you can spend just few dollars more to go from a indoor antenna to multi directional antenna. Here are a couple of factors that you will want to compare an antennas preformance.
- One of the more important tech specs is to compare the Antenna Range. This refers to how many maximum miles away the antenna can pick up a transmitter. A DB8 multi-directional HDTV antenna has a range of 70 miles or more. A small indoor antenna would have a range of 15 miles. A medium range antenna has a range of 30 miles. So when you what channels are in your area and the range, you can make a good choice on what kind of antenna to use.
- Another factor when comparing antennas is the Gain of an antenna. You will notice that antennas specs are listed in the product information on Antennas.tv. The gain is measured in decibels (dB). So the higher the gain on a antenna, the better the signal reception an antenna will produce.
