HDTV Antennas
HDTV televisions need special antennas to be able to catch the frequency. These televisions cannot receive the transmission from normal antennas used by any other brand of color television. Selecting the right HDTV antenna system is critical, and one should make use of a highly directional antenna designed for "Fringe Area" reception.? One objective that should be kept in mind while installing the antenna is that it should accept signals directly from the transmitting tower.
Some of the other considerations that one should keep in mind before buying the antenna is that one should check with the local homeowner's association, seeking permission to put up an antenna on the roof or any other exterior location.
One would also need to determine whether local channels are VHF, UHF, or both.
This would determine the type of antenna to buy.
The owner would also need to determine whether there is a clear line of sight to the station antenna.
