In order to view your favourite programs on your television, you need an antenna (aerial) to receive the signals broadcast through the air by the television stations individual frequency (VHF or UHF). The TV’s tuner receives the signal from your antenna and converts it into audio and video so your television can display it. The quality of your TV picture is often determined by various factors which may interfere with the signal. The stronger the signal is, the higher the quality of your picture will be.

If you have cable television, you won’t require an aerial, because you will be receiving the signal directly via the cable or satellite (Obviously this means you would incur the cost of a Pay TV subscription.) Keep in mind that the quality from a cable is not necessarily better than from an antenna, as signals are compressed by the cable provider in order to give you the quantity of channels available. When viewing free to air television via your antenna, you receive the signals uncompressed, and at the same resolution as sent by the television station.

When putting up your antenna, ensure its’ rod is pointed toward the transmitter. A good tip is to check out what direction your neighbour’s are pointing in, and follow their lead. A small adjustment left and right should see your picture clarify.
