HDTV Antenna provides free digital picture to your home.

Local HDTV broadcasts offer you a great alternative, or supplement, to the high priced options of either cable or satellite services. The best selection of over-the-air channels will be found in the larger, metropolitan areas, but almost 90% of all American homes can receive 5 or more hi-definition stations via an HDTV Antenna.

It may seem counter intuitive, but over-the-air digital signal is the highest quality of picture available. Satellite and cable companies often use a compression method in order to compact the digital signal before they send it out and as it is decoded at your TV. In doing so, the signal quality suffers a bit of degradation.

A unique feature of any digital TV signal is that you’ll either see a bright, crisp image or you’ll see nothing at all. Choosing the correct HDTV antenna for your situation is important. Several things impact the decision, like:

• Distance between your home and the source of the TV signal
• The terrain or potential interference sources
• Indoor antenna vs. outdoor antenna
• Directional HDTV Antenna or Omni-directional antenna

It almost goes without saying that purchasing a HDTV Antenna isn’t going to do you any good unless you have an HDTV tuner to receive the digital TV signal. There are basically two different situations that most people find themselves in as they arrive at our site. They either have a HDTV-ready television or one that has an integrated HDTV tuner integrated.

If your television has the integrated tuner, then you’re ready to go. If your television is an HDTV-ready type then you’ll need to purchase a separate HDTV tuner that will sit between your television and the HDTV antenna.

One additional option that you may find yourself with is the desire to supplement your cable or satellite signal with an off-air signal. This situation will arise when your local cable company doesn’t provide all the local channels or maybe you don’t want to pay for the upgraded services they offer.

In any case, we’ll help you find the best HDTV antenna to suite your needs.
