HDTV Antenna

By February 2009, nearly all U.S. television stations had transitioned from analog over-the-air transmissions to digital signals; today, the only way to receive these HDTV signals is by using a digital antenna. Here's how to choose and use the best antenna(s) for HDTV.

You would think you could drive down to your local WalMart, purchase any digital antenna and start watching free HDTV. Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple.

There are a number of OTA antennas available, and the one you choose depends on how far you live from the transmission towers, what direction the towers are from your location, and which channels you're hoping to receive.

The best starting point is to create an OTA antenna map for the channels you're hoping to receive with your new antenna.

To do this, head over to the FCC's website and type in your ZIP or click Go To My Location.
