Over the Air

Over-the-air television reception is available almost everywhere. Find out what’s in your area and how to take advantage of it.

Here are two links to find out what channels you can receive at your home with an antenna:

If you are close to a transmitter you can use an amplified indoor antenna. For better reception, as well as being able to receive more over-the-air channels, we suggest an amplified outdoor antenna.

Types of Antennas

Amplified Indoor Antenna

FlatWave High VHF/UHF Indoor Amplified Antenna (50 Mile Range)

  • Amplified HDTV reception up to 50 miles
  • Revolutionary Clear Circuit Technology provides ultra low noise figure – 1.0 dB
  • Receives more channels than unamplified antennas
  • Minimizes pixelation and dropouts
  • Extra long mini coax (18.5′) makes finding the ideal location easy
  • Dual band reception means you don’t miss out on channels that other compact UHF-only antennas do
  • This works fine for homes that are closer to TV transmitters
