Best Indoor Antenna when An Outside Antenna is Not an Option

What an indoor antenna can do well, an outdoor antenna can do a lot better

Best Indoor Antennas When Installing a Roof or Attic Antenna is Not Possible

Let's face it, placing a large antenna on your roof or in your attic is not always an option. This is when using the right indoor antennas can make the difference between pulling in few great free TV channels from the air waves or not watching free TV at all.

Many manufacturers offer flat panel indoor TV antennas. Because they look nice and are less obtrusive, many people choose to buy one. Then only to find out after installing one on their TV it can't pull in many channels.

And buying one that is amplified usually does not help much either, because a zero db signal times 10 is still zero. Larger rabbit ear style antennas may possibly do a better job of pulling in a few stations if you did not have much luck with a smaller flat style antenna.

In the past, if you tried a flat indoor antenna only to be disappointed. Give one of these larger indoor antennas a try. Size really does matter when it comes to pulling in distant TV signals. And the bigger the antenna, the better it will capture weaker signals from far away. And this equates to even more channels you can watch free.

Use a Signal Meter For Aiming Your Antenna

Determining where to aim an antenna is not as easy today with a digital signal as when the signal was analog. It used to be, all you needed to do to aim your antenna was watch the snow disappear from your TV screen. With new HD digital signals, if the signal is there you get a picture. But if the signal is too weak, you won't receive anything at all.

A signal meter connects between your antenna and your TV set. Then when you move your antenna you can watch the numbers or LED bars increase to give you the best possible TV signal from your antenna. This takes away a lot of the guess work when it comes to aiming an antenna for optimal reception.

Some signal meter may even include an amplifier, which can help boost weaker television signals.

Top Rated Signal Meters for Picture Perfect Antenna Tuning

Winegard Company RFL-332 Sensar Pro Signal Meter

Tune in local programming fast and easy with the Winegard SensarPro signal strength meter. Basic operation is simple, just select foot scan foot mode and slowly rotate the Sensar antenna until the strongest signal strength is located then run a channel scan and you will be watching your favorite local broadcast shows in standard or crisp clear HD. Advanced search options are also available but not necessary for each use.

The SensarPro has built in amplification to provide up to 10 decibel of gain for increased performance or the ability to lower the gain when positioned near a tower. Also handy is the adjustable audio feedback to help lock in signal when the wall plate is out of sight or reach. The SensarPro works with all Winegard Sensar antennas and replaces the existing power supply. Proudly designed, tested and built in the USA by the makers of the first RV television antenna.
