How to choose the right DTT antenna?
If there is one essential element at the top of the list, it is undoubtedly the choice of antenna. For your information, not all antennas have the same capabilities or the same features in terms of reception quality. Thus, some antennas have been designed specifically for areas that are difficult to receive DTT.
So, if you are in this area classified as difficult for reception, it is recommended that you opt for UHF antennas. You should particularly choose antennas that have a high “gain”. To check this quality, you just need to take a look at the antenna sheet, it is expressed in decibels or dB.
In addition, you can get help from an antenna installer in choosing your antenna. This is also the case when you proceed with the antenna installation.
Check all the antenna cables of your devices carefully
In principle, you will also find antenna cables accompanying the antennas that you buy in stores. You have to be careful, because for the most part, their quality leaves something to be desired. Moreover, it happens much more often than one might expect that these cables supplied with the antennas are the cause of signal problems. However, you will find antenna cables on the market equipped with interference ferrites, which will reduce the interference relatively.
To overcome this problem, you just need to perform a small test, which consists of swapping your cables between several devices. You will easily find which antenna cable is weak. Moreover, if you are not good at it, nothing prevents you from calling on the assistance of an antenna installer.
Equip yourself well
A DTT amplifier is a piece of equipment that is used to increase the signal reception at your DTT antenna. But you can also use a DTT preamplifier.
But if the problem persists, you will have to call on antenna repair services. Please also note in this regard that local services from the company Antenne TNT are available throughout France, and in particular in the Nord Pas-De-Calais region.
