Outdoor TV antennas are devices that are often
installed on the roof to provide very good reception for the household’s
television unit. They are, however, more difficult to install and are usually
more expensive than indoor antennas. Some also require assembly, and it is
possible for them to be damaged in storms according to a roofing San Antonio company.
Types of
Outdoor TV Antennas
The best type of TV antenna is one mounted
outdoors, as high as possible. Most times, this means having the antenna
mounted on the roof or chimney. A typical TV outdoor antenna looks like a long
boom, with a number of elements mounted crosswise, with element lengths varying
from longer to shorter. The farther away from a TV station transmitter you are,
the more elements your antenna must have to work effectively. The antenna needs
to be pointed at the TV transmitter, for best results.
Some neighborhood has restrictions on having TV
antennas mounted on the roof or chimney. In these cases, an outdoor antenna
mounted inside your attic can deliver acceptable performance. It is very
important to mount the antenna in such a way as to allow the elements to be
fully extended and to have the antenna properly pointed at the station transmitter.
Again, a professional installer can help those who are uncomfortable with
working in the attic.
Most outdoor TV antennas use a mast system that
attaches either to a chimney or outside wall. A rotor system turns the
directional antenna in order to receive far away signals. Beam or “Yagi”
antennas are aimed at the distant station and amplify stations in the direction
it's pointed at while rejecting signals from stations off to the side and
behind it.
Choosing an
Outdoor TV Antenna
When choosing an outdoor TV antenna, it's important
to keep several things in mind. First, quality counts. Exposure to the elements
– wind, rain, and snow (depending on your location) – can reduce the lifespan
of the antenna. It's important to buy one with coated elements to prevent
corrosion. Second, directional aerials tend to be unattractive. Low-profile
designs are available that are much less visually obtrusive. They may also be
helpful if you're looking to install it in an area that is restrictive about
such things, such as an apartment complex.
