Tv Antennas and Reception

The Tv transmissions at your location are Very Strong , A long list of LOS Line Of Sight that are in the Green For GO. DO NOT use an amplified antenna of any type or kind. If the building is not wrapped with any metal such as but not limited to metal siding or stucko with stucko Wire. If the building does not have foil backed insulation. If the building does not have a metal roof. If the outer walls are not made of poured concrete. If the building is not wrapped with brick from ground to roof all the way around the building. And the Tv is not in the basement. Then a Simple indoor Tv antenna will receive real fine. http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=233 , In any event try a Simple indoor Tv antenna FIRST , and if it does not work , then you will need to go to a outside antenna. Be sure that the Digital Tv is set to scan for the Broadcast Digital Tv Channels , DO NOT scan for Cable Channels and do not scan for only Analog Channels. If the Tv does not have a Broadcast Digital Tv Tuner , and the Tv is a older Analog Tv , then a Digital to Analog Converter Box will be needed. How do you know if the Tv will receive Digital Broadcast Tv Channels ?? Answer: Go into the Menu and look. Read and understand this about Real Digital Tv Channels and Virtual Digital Tv Channels. http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=695 .
