<h1>Understanding what your HDTV can do </h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Josh lovett.aspx'>Josh lovett</a></strong><br /><p>HD digital TVs are the current craze, so much so that they have become a style statement these days. They are in high demand because they transmit high quality images. But you can also enjoy the same clear picture quality on your analogue TV. For this, you need to use a Digital Convertor Box for pulling in digital transmission signals and thereafter converting them to comport with your analogue television set. However, the number of channels and the quality of pictures also depend upon the antenna you are using. Thus, it follows that you must have a reliable and good digital television antenna to benefit the most from your HDTV. As the HDTV broadcasts are transmitted through the UHF and VHF spectrum, you must purchase a dependable UHF/VHF antenna that can receive the HD signals and hence allow you to watch your preferred programs in high definition. But how do you choose the right digital TV antennas? Your choice of antenna, to some extent, would depend upon your living arrangement. The next determining factor would be its signal receiving ability and coverage. It is advisable that you go for branded ones even if they a bit expensive, as they have a longer life and a better signal receiving capability. Some of the most popular types HDTV antennas include: • Roof mounted outdoor HDTV antennas – The higher the antenna is mounted, the stronger the signal is and the more the number of channels are. • Usual indoor antennas – This is a cost effective option for those living in apartments. • Amplified indoor antennas – This is the best option for those you cannot install an outdoor unit, as amplified indoor antennas have an enhanced capability of catching signals. Moreover, by using HDTV antennas you can enjoy OTA digital TV channels free of cost and access all the local and out of town channels. You might also have to use a few antenna accessories for installing your HDTV antenna. Depending upon the antenna you choose and the place where you want to install it, you would need a variety of accessories like clamps, connectors, pigtails of various lengths, power splitters, power dividers, surge arrestors, weatherproof boxes, RF dummy loads, etc. Different kinds of antenna rods and antenna mounts are also available. The specifications of your antenna accessories would vary according to that of your antenna. Some of the accessories are also equipped with safety shutters, power indicator lights, RFI/EMI filter protection, and international multi adapters. </p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Josh Lovett is an expert on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.jimsantennas.com.au/">antenna accessories</a> and offers advice on TV products.
