Digital TV antenna

A TV antenna is a device designed to receive over-the-air television broadcast signals and convert them into electrical signals that a television can display as audio and video. TV antennas can receive signals transmitted by local television stations without requiring a cable or satellite subscription.

Common types include:

Indoor antennas – Small antennas used inside a home, best for areas close to broadcast towers.

Outdoor antennas – Mounted on roofs, walls, or poles to provide stronger reception, especially in rural or distant locations.

Directional antennas – Pointed toward specific broadcast towers for improved signal strength.

Omnidirectional antennas – Receive signals from multiple directions without needing adjustment.

Modern TV antennas are compatible with digital broadcasts and can provide access to local channels in high-definition (HD) where available.
