Tips for selection and connection
Many people today doubt which equipment is better, and this is understandable, since there is a huge selection of models and criteria for selecting equipment on the market. Before purchasing equipment, you need to understand exactly:
- Why is the antenna purchased?
- In what area will it work?
- How much money can be invested in organizing TV?
Naturally, it is necessary to install the equipment correctly, otherwise even a correctly selected device will not guarantee a high-quality signal:
- The device should face the direction of the TV tower.
- If the room faces a television tower, a window antenna will suffice. The device is attached to the window frame and according to its technical specifications. The characteristics are no worse than an outdoor antenna, although it is an indoor device.
- To ensure the functioning of several TVs in the house, you need to purchase an outdoor type device with the best technology. characteristics.
- It should not be installed close to objects or surfaces that strongly provoke interference, for example, if there are power lines or other transmitters nearby, or there is a metal tile finish.
Important!
First of all, you need to turn it on without using an amplifier; if the picture is of poor quality, you need to connect an amplifier. Numerous reviews from professionals and ordinary residents of the country confirm the functional qualities of outdoor antennas.
Fine-tuning the TV signal
You can clearly detect a signal of the required strength and quality on your own, without the use of modern equipment. However, in difficult reception conditions, it is correct to use a special device for tuning. Typically this is a compact box with a mechanical screen or LCD display on which you can see the strength of the digital signal. On one side the power supply is connected, and on the other there is an input for the antenna cable. Since setting the visual perception of the picture on a TV screen will not be the most reliable, the set-top box will greatly simplify the solution. Step-by-step setup:
- You need to take the device, connect the antenna's electrical cable to it, and also provide power either from the built-in batteries or from an external battery.
- Then you should turn the antenna towards the receiver. If the direction is chosen correctly, the receiver will immediately begin to make a sound, and numbers or an arrow will appear on the scale.
- If the receiver displays insufficient signal strength, you need to twist the antenna, turning it to the side, adjusting it higher or lower.
It is important to get the maximum digital signal. Now you can turn off the receiver, install the TV antenna, and now you can tune in the TV.
Now it’s clear how installation is done, setting up DVB T2 TV, and how to choose equipment. You can watch up to 20 free channels. If you can’t handle it yourself, then you need to call a specialist.
Transmitter selection
You need to choose carefully, as the equipment is quite expensive. Before purchasing you need to pay attention to:
- Distance from the television tower.
- Power.
- The presence of high-rise buildings near the installation site.
- Interference level.
- Where do the windows look?
- Accommodation floor.
- Landscape.
By distance, the selection criteria are as follows:
- For less than 15-25 km, purchase an indoor model - Fobos 2.1.
- At a distance of 25-40 km, you can install an outdoor type device - ANT-T2-MID.
- More than 40 km, the pros advise installing a “strong” TV antenna - ANT-T2-MAX.
Installing a digital antenna is simple; just raise the device (if it is outdoor) to a possible height and turn it towards the TV tower.
