Outdoor HDTV antenna - select the best from Terrestrial Digital

Outdoor HDTV antenna is generally better. It have a better view of the transmitting station, with no building-induced signal loss. They receive less interference from other household electronic/electrical appliances, and they are less likely to receive reflected ghost signals from the building structure.
Because such antennas are typically mounted on a rooftop and have a better line of site to the transmitting towers with fewer impediments like tress, buildings, walls, or roofing materials, they have a distinct advantage over indoor and attic antennas.  For people living long distances from the transmitting towers, long range outdoor antennas are often the only option for receiving signals.  Outdoor TV antennas can also be mounted onto the sides of ones house, decks, or on poles if roof tops are not available.
While not difficult to install, antennas are sensitive to installation details. For wood-frame buildings where the antenna will be situated on the roof’s peak, the antenna should be at least four feet above the peak. When installed above a flat metal roof, the antenna should be at least ten feet above the roof. For multidirectional antennas, allow for some mounting flexibility so that the antenna can be moved a few feet in each direction in order to obtain the best picture on all channels before a permanent mounting position is selected.

Terrestrial Digital HDTV Antenna Lacrosse

As high-definition television (HDTV) becomes more popular, demand is growing for HDTV antennas that blend into the design of the home while still reliably locking into the HDTV signals. The new Lacrosse antenna was designed to address this demand. Available in both an amplified and non-amplified versions, the Lacrosse has an approximate gain of 10.8 dB. The amplified version includes an ultra-low noise 17 dB amplifier. It is one of the strongest multi-directional antennas available and performs consistently across the entire UHF spectrum (channels 14-69). It even works well in areas where HD transmitters are in multiple directions.

• Range: Up to 40 miles
• >Gain: 10.8 db (non-Amplified) Amplified version includes 17dB amplifier.
• Targeted Band: UHF Channels 14-69
• Dimensions: 14” H x 20” W
• Weight: 6.8 lbs
• Includes J-Pole mount
• Lifetime Warranty

For anyone who has been compromising picture clarity because they weren’t willing to put a large, basket-style antenna on their rooftop, the Lacrosse is the answer. It’s the best of both worlds - uncompromised signal locking capabilities at a fraction of the size of most HDTV antennas.

Terrestrial Digital Antenna HDTV DB4

If you are looking for an antenna that is practically guaranteed to perform, the DB4 is one of your safest choices. It will pull in all UHF frequencies and most higher level VHF frequencies with a range of about 55 miles. With an approximate 13.7 dB gain, it is one of the strongest multi-directional antennas available and performs consistently across the entire UHF spectrum. It even works well in areas where HD transmitters are in multiple directions.
