Over the Air High Definition Antennas

Before considering an OTA HD antenna, you should, first, visit http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx. Once you enter your address, you’ll see a list of local stations. The recent switch to digital TV broadcasting has eliminated the most annoying picture distortions — snow and ghosting — that made analog off-air reception so hit-or-miss. With digital TV signals (both standard-definition and high-definition), you’ll either see a crisp, ghost-free picture or no picture at all. Because most local and syndicated programming is not high-definition, it’s typical for local stations to broadcast their digital signals in standard-definition during the day, then switch to full widescreen HDTV during primetime. Even if you’ve never used an off-air antenna before, consider these factors:

• Local digital TV broadcasts are everywhere.
• Over-the-air digital reception provides the best picture quality!
• Over-the-air antennas provide access to all your local channels AND out-of-town channels.
• Best of all, over-the-air signals are free!
