@@JohnstonPettigrew most people on RU-vid get money through the service the ads they have interrupting during their video. You don't have to support anyone on youtube the choice is yours. As for doing a channel search you can do that yourself. You can do your own antenna signal survey yourself as well. There are tools online for helping the DIY do these tasks. I live close enough to tv stations so I can just scan and let the antenna find the direction by turning it. Antenna rotaters work great for finding the direction then you can change the direction on the spot for best signal.

I followed his advice on which outdoor antenna to buy and it turned out great for me. After a hurricane NBC would not come in anymore and the other broadcast stations, would, every once in a while, have poor quality. I talked to the tech department of NBC and they said their equipment was functioning fine so it must be the antenna. I moved where it was pointing and it slightly improved the signal but still problems. Antenna Man recommended a Winegard preamp, so I bought one. After I hooked it up, the signal on all stations was about 25% better and all my problems were solved. I am pleased with his service. Looks like he knows what he is talking about.

Back in the analog broadcast era, it was easier to get viewable if not great picture and sound using a "good enough" antenna. This was useful in areas where TV broadcast towers are in different directions. You might get some geometric distortion, snow or fading. With digital ATSC-1 broadcasting, antenna selection and placement is far more critical. Less-than-optimum reception is subject to a "digital cliff" effect, with a narrow range of pixillation followed by no signal. Now, in some areas there's also the co-channel interference caused by the FCC signal repack. Thanks so much for your excellent work on the topic of television antennas!

I 100% agree, in analog time, it had ghosts or noise very often, but it was watchable, now with DVB-T/DVB-T2, when you have little worse signal, it just doesn't work at all, there are only 2 states - it works or it doesn't work. I think today digital TV standards still need some development, there should be at least some variable bitrate or resolution, like it is on youtube, when you have worse connection for some time, it just jumps to lower resolution which is better than now picture at all. Digital TV should work like that too, I don't understand why this is not in today DVB-T2 standard, I would say it works even worse than older DVB-T1 which could use 16 MHz modulation and wider frequency range. When we switched to DVB-2 cca 3 years ago, some people completely lost their signal and other problem are one frequency multiplexes with same frequency in half of country, you need very good directional antenna or you are losing signal all the time for like few seconds because of echo and pre-echo. I think DVB-T2 standard is like blu-ray, it's baby borned dead. Many peolpe I know just screw that and switched to IPTV or satelitte or to cable TV. Modern terestrial broadcasting should be spread in same way like mobile data - no giantic antennas. With today unlimited data mobile tarifs, many people have IPTV even in their summer cabin and it works better than terrestrial TV. Also, what I hate about switching to DVB-T2 is that they used new capacity for more nonsense channels instead of better picture quality for standard channels. Here in Czech Republic, we have in full HD only our public TV, commercial TVs screw that, instead of better picture, they added 10 channels where they play 20 years old TV shows like SuperStar, X-Factor and such shits, I want full HD, not watching such shits. OMG, I want full HD, not watch US wife swap or some moron who trains dogs, that's ridiculous. :-D Also, those new channels have so ugly and tasteless graphics, they just copy what was popular in USA like 20 years ago. :-) Only good thing about DVB-T2 is that there will be paid channels in the air, but there is still only one multiplex in testing mode from Prague, that can't be danger for satelitte or cable TV.

I built my own bowtie antenna for less than $5 of parts (copper wire, piece of wood, screws). I gave that one to my parents who live about 30 miles out of town. I then made a bowtie antenna using copper foil and laminating sheets. It's the same dimensions as the antenna with copper wire and wood support, but hides nicely behind the TV. Fortunately, I'm in a strong market area and it works great! Best antenna? The cheapest one that gets you the channels you want. ;)

I went through a handful of antennas (abusing return polices, sorry) and can confidently say that the best two for my specific criteria are the Jasco/GE PRO 29884 and RCA ANT705E. Both are marketed as "attic" antennas with reflectors, but they do the best job through walls.. Which I currently need. (8 foot high location, 30 miles from farthest broadcast..Orlando suburb, mostly UHF, split between 2 TV's -3.5db via splitter). I settled on these two because they offered the best price without diminishing returns of higher cost models. (Currently $40) Both seem to trade off depending on the station. (I'm testing with the Samsung TV db gain meter via signal diagnostics in support tab.. fully recommend btw). The Jasco/GE does better on a station thats borderline harder to receive for me .. hence why I'll be returning the ANT705E. I'm confident the ANT705E is better overall for signal if it was positioned higher, but it also feels cheaper (thin metal construction).. on the other hand the Jasco product has a ton of plastic, but the build and overall construction is better... Seems like a no brainer, but I digress. I still have my older RCA ANT751E (winegard USA rebrand) that I got for 30 bucks from amazon last year, but that model cuts out for me from inside my house. I'm sure id have better results mounted on my roof (or high attic) but meh.. The hi-VHF is ironically better on both the the RCA ANT705E and Jasco 29884 from inside the house (for my current setup)..Was surprised at that. Nothing cuts out anymore.. Highly recommend both for "budget" options without full committing to becoming an antenna nerd. haha

Antenna Man is absolutely correct in his analysis of pros and cons of antennas. I have been educating myself for years about antennas. It kills me to see and hear these advertisers out there claiming this and that and all the bull. I cut the cord 12 years ago. Comcast insisted that I needed them to get local TV and my roof antenna was not "HD." I laughed at the lie. My roof antenna was installed in 1966. Good old fashioned antenna gives me 100 channels and Comcast still tries to bug me to get the local service as they claim it is much superior....all lies. My advice, if you happen to have an old antenna from the old days still on your roof, plug it in. I guarantee you will be wonderfully surprised in what you get for channels and reception (if you are within 30 miles of a city or stations.

I don't know if mine is the top of the line indoor antenna but you have recommended this antenna. It is the Clearstream 2Max antenna. I didn't want to fuss with mounting an antenna on the roof and try to run a cable into the house. I use this indoor antenna pointing out my patio window. I also bought an amplifier for a little stronger signal. I get 60 channels in the Chicago area with this antenna. Weather does play a factor in picking up all the channels and if there is allot of wind, raining, or it is snowing, a few weaker channels will drop out. Low signal channels seem to pick up better in cold weather. With all that said, I really like this antenna.

I actually found a double bow tie antenna that is probably at least 50 years old. It had the two terminals and someone screwed it to an RF adapter. Anyway, I had one of these satellite dish looking antennas from Radio Shack with an amplifier attached to it. What I did was traced the cable wires in my house, took the path that was feeding the comcast internet box and connected the bowtie antenna to the radio shack antenna amplifier. Then put that line from the basement into the input of the RF amplifier that was down there and the other wire coming to one of the outputs that feeds the living room and one bedroom upstairs. I was able to pick up about 58 total off the air channels (10 plus their subchannels). There are stations that I was not supposed to be able to pick up that come in great. The antenna is actually inside a bedroom on top of a rack on the west wall of the house with no windows. We got rid of Cable on Monday and it's now great. Thank you.

It's the Phillips with telescoping little antennas , it doesn't come with a signal booster but you can buy one of those separate that you can hook up in the back of your TV to boost the signal up And that Phillips antenna in Canada cost me $17 , says right on the box for Gen 3 TVs , If you have an old plastic flat antenna that comes with a signal booster use that for the Phillips

almost every time I watch the Antenna Mans vids he always makes the statement about there's no such thing as an "HD antenna or digital antenna". He is absolutely correct on this point. digital anything cannot get from point A to point B without an analog frequency. the digital signal cannot move itself it has to have something that can transport it and that is an analog frequency. THAT is what an antenna is designed to receive, the equipment (in this case a TV) on the other end of the antenna is what reads the digital signal delivered by the antenna. It is the same for all digital media including fiber (yes, light is an analog frequency), coax, twisted pair. all are designed to deliver the analog frequency that is carrying the digital signal.

Tyler, a quick question. I know what I use and what I think works the best but I would appreciate your input. What sort of antenna do you recommend for inside a moving car. I know about all the variables what direction what speed where you’re at but I just am interested in your pic in general. The one I use now is a magnetic mount that sticks right on top of your roof seems to be the best in my area.

Also it depends on what channels you are wanting to pick up. Like with me I wanted to be able to pick up nearly every channel possible for my market. At some point I wouldn't mind trying to pick up a 2nd Antenna for the other end of my house to see what channels I can pick up from the west end of the House since I have 2 antennas hooked up to the East end of the house.

Ase you prepared to buy 10 antennas install them and fiddle/ reinstall them then throw 9 of them out. Your theory is great but how to find it is the hard part.
@ronb6182
@ronb6182 3 года назад
You first find out the stations are broadcasting on UHF, Hi VHF or heaven forbid low VHF? If most of the channels are on UHF and Hi VHF your antenna will be smaller and most HOAs cannot stop you from putting up this type of antenna. But if you feel you need PBS and it's low VHF channel broadcast then you will need the large antenna and you will run into HOAs issues. Most UHF and Hi VHF will work with a 4 bay or Gray Hoverman antenna and these can be made yourself and saving yourself bundles of money. The large low VHF antenna is a hard one to make some amateur radio hobbyist can show you how to build these monster antennas.

Multiple antennas on one TV works well. Trying to find the "best one" is irritating. I've had 5 or 6 they were all similar

I bought a Mohu leaf antenna 2 or 3years ago and I get 135 channels + in Los Angeles . Very clean picture. I just put it in the window. 60 miles range. 35-40 dollars.

I am trying to get reception at our summer place. We have a medium sized antenna (with stand)on the roof (steep). We had dish for a few years abd are trying to get the antenna to work. It’s 21 years old. Could it be an analog only antenna and be useless? I put a cheap on up with a new cable and we get 35-40 channels (50 miles sw of Chicago).

Hi Tyler-I really enjoy your videos and have learned a lot. Have you tested the Rocketfish antenna? I currently am using the Rocketfish antenna, but thinking of switching to the Clearstream 4V to get better reception. I am in the Detroit area, about 40-50 miles from the broadcast houses.

I noticed the old style antenna wire in my house but no antenna on the roof at the top of the chimney I'm guessing somebody snipped it off up there a long time ago. I don't want to climb up there very dangerous I do have an old satellite dish on my garage that's pretty high can I take the dish off of the post mount air antenna there and use the same coax cable ? I just have to find where the cable comes into my house it must be somewhere inside. it goes to my garage and then behind the wall.

Have you ever checked out the HD Stacker from Denny’s Antenna Service, based in Michigan? I’ve read great reviews about it. Unfortunately, Denny’s Antenna Service no longer delivers outside of Michigan since January 2022.

Had to get my rotor replaced and called the closest antenna guy from about 30 miles away. He was a crusty miserable SOB but the first thing he said when he saw my old antenna from the 70's was, "They don't make them like that anymore!" It could pull in some distant channels on the regular...and on some nights the skip signals were quite impressive. Worked wonderfully until the neighbor's maple tree knocked the crap out of it in a wind storm. 😕

No, you can't use a satellite dish as an antenna. You can use the cable that runs from the satellite dish to your TV but it has to be done a very specific way or you will mess up your reception. I do offer setup guidance services below: www.antennamanpa.com/antenna-recommendations.html
