Re: How i chose the right outdoor trip?
Hi guys
Enter your zip code in the window on the top left-hand side of the screen and look at the map. Click on a DTV channel name (listed on the left) for information about signal direction and range. Note the amount of signal strength that is required to receive DTV channels where you live.Use online resources to research and compare available outdoor DTV antennas, such as
http://www.dennysantennaservice.com or Ensure the outdoor DTV antennas have the necessary range to receive the DTV signal, based on the information you received in step one.
Determine the amount of gain or boost you require from an outdoor antenna in order to receive a clear DTV signal where you live. Research the number of decibels of gain an antenna can provide and check the dBi numbers against those listed for available antennas. Ensure the number is high enough to carry the DTV signal.
Research antennas based on weather conditions in your environment. For example, if you live in an area with high winds or violent storms, purchase an outdoor antenna that has a rugged exterior casing. Be aware that living by an airport or forest may also interfere with signal strength and subsequently the outdoor antenna you select may need extra dBi gain to compensate.
Read online consumer reviews about the performance of outdoor antennas, especially in areas similar to your own. Compare prices for antennas that have all the attributes you require. Visit an electronics retailer and ask the advice of a sales person.
Thanks for all friends
