All you need in order to get this free and much better television programming is a simple antenna system that you can easily install in less than 2 hours. The programming is free and the inexpensive antenna will pay for itself in no time and you will enjoy a far better picture!
Over the next few weeks we will be telling you step by step how to purchase this inexpensive system and how to easily install it....and if you have any questions we will answer them as well.
Coming soon! Our guide to Over The Air (OTA) antennas has been extensively researched and documented. It will take you from the invention of electricity (That was a LOT longer ago than you may realize), to the selection, installation and optimization of both a terrestrial broadcast television antenna system to the latest in HD TV sets, and more!
If you want the best possible picture and the widest possible selection of programming, this book is a must have. It explains how to find out what channels are available in your area, where the transmitters are located and exactly what equipment you need to receive and optimize the available signals.
Did you know that if you have a Dish TV receiver you can record over the air signals on it just like ones from the Dish? (Yep, you can record shows coming over the air right on your satellite receiver and play them back later!)
Did you know that digital and analog TV antennas are the same...except that some are better than others? (We explain why some antennas are more equal than others)
Did you know that channels 2 through 6 are going away....and do you know where they are going? (We know...and we tell you!)
This book explains it all. And much, much more!
Bookmark this page and come back often. The Guide is now at the printers and will be available soon!
Recently an article appeared in a trade publication about the company we have selected to manufacture our antennas. We thought you might like to read about them:
Brad was 11 years old when he began
making frequent forays to the roof of his family's home to take apart, rebuild
and replace their TV antenna.
So began the future inventor's
life-long obsession with building a better antenna.
"My dad would come home from
work, and just about every day there was a different antenna on the roof,"
said Brad, 43, a self-described "antenna geek,". "Some days the
reception was better than others. I just had to be sure it was OK on Sundays
before the football game."
Tinkering
led to career
Brad's adolescent tinkering carried
into adulthood and culminated several years ago when he began producing and
selling high-powered, outdoor digital TV antennas.
Anticipating
strong sales
Brad is already anticipating strong
sales come June 2009 when TV stations will switch from analog to digital
signals, and now, with the economy on the rocks and more people possibly
dropping their cable subscriptions to save cash, things could be bigger than he
ever anticipated.
"We know at its lowest point, the
country sells 2 to 3 million antennas a year, and we also know sales go up when
the economy is bad," said Brad, who completed an electronic servicing
program but is otherwise a self-taught antenna expert. "We know there's
going to be a spike."
His antennas? picture quality rivals
or even outdoes cable, he claims. And the channels are free, which is alluring
to budget conscious consumers. (Next blog we will share performance specs with you and you will be blown away!!)
Designed
for digital signals
The company's antenna is
specifically designed for digital signals and is extremely compact compared to
an analog antenna.
Brad said that most antennas contain
up to 18 rods that pick up various signals and each has its own unique
connection point to the main antenna element. If one connection point corrodes,
or a rod shifts, it throws off the unit's performance.
DigiTenna antennas have just two
connection points and neither is exposed to the elements, which improves the
performance and life of the product.
"Brad has been putting antennas
together forever and he's eliminated all the things that he's ever seen go
wrong," said Rob Sass.
This summer the company sold 1,500
antennas retailing at about $145 through a pair of distributors and didn't have
a single return.
Parts
for 10,000 antennas
Come June, when TV stations go
digital, he'll have enough parts to produce 10,000 antennas made of aluminum that's then cut and stamped by DigiTenna
employees.
With the DTV Mandate Transition date being moved to June 12th you have time to prepare. The FCC has a website where they have projected what stations you should be able to receive and which stations you might lose after the transition.
Enter your zip code and you will see a Google Map appear with a marker next to your town. Drag this marker as close as you can (zoom in to get closer) and give the webpage a minute to load or so. You will see your local channels call signs appear to the left of the map. Then use the legend to see what your expected channels will be and how strong they might be. If you zoom way out and click on a stations call sign you can see where the tower is located on the map plus lots of good information like what direction to point your antenna.
I have included a screenshot of a typical antenna location.
You can do all of this OR send the satellite guys your location and we will work up a complete bill of materials, map, and installation guide for you for FREE with the purchase of an antenna and associated materials.
