These antennas have a lot of other things that are great qualities, but sometimes the most important quality is range. Reception range, easy installation, picture quality, and weatherproof materials are some of the best qualities to look for in an antenna.

Every antenna ad will throw lots of technical terms at you to get you to buy the product. However, what does everything even mean? Many antenna companies will try to confuse you by saying phrases that you’ve never heard before. You need to take all of the following things into account when purchasing your antenna.
You might live in too rural of an area to receive all of the channels that the antenna you like advertises. Make sure that you check the range it shows because if you live at the end of that range, you might not get the channels you want. You can also look up online reception maps to help you figure out how far away you live to receive your favorite channels.
Let’s face it: no one wants to climb on a roof to yell at someone inside their house to see if the antenna is pointed in the right direction to watch the big game. An omnidirectional antenna means that you won’t have to do this because it will receive signals from every direction possible. They also have much stronger signals and are less sensitive to signal disruptions.
You don’t want to break the bank when buying an antenna because that’s the whole purpose of getting a TV antenna. However, many companies understand this and set their antennas at very reasonable prices. You want to find one that comes with everything you need and doesn’t cost more than $150.
You don’t want to spend $60 on an antenna just to find out that it will only support one TV. A splitter will literally split the signals between different TVs in your house. Also, it will split the strength of the signal. You definitely want to get an antenna that comes with a splitter.
TV signals run on two different frequencies: VHF (very-high frequency) and UHF (ultra-high frequency. The best antennas will receive both of these frequencies because this means that you’ll get more channels. Also, you won’t have to worry about having better picture quality or better sound quality because they’ll both be very high quality.
