In order to achieve the highest quality TV signal reception for summer residents living in an area of uncertain TV signal reception, first of all, you need to decide on the type of antenna for a country house. Today we have terrestrial and satellite television at our disposal. But the antenna for the dacha should be chosen not only based on the desire to receive a signal from a television tower or from a satellite, but also on the amount of money that the buyer is willing to pay for the opportunity to enjoy their favorite TV shows outside the city.
Terrestrial television is an economical solution for a country house
Antenna to the country house can be simple and inexpensive. The main criterion for choosing it should be the relief of the surrounding area and the distance from the house to the transmitting TV tower. In the event that the distance to the transmitting center is up to 15 kilometers, you can use a conventional indoor antenna. At the same time, do not forget that the quality of the signal received by conventional passive antennas depends on the material from which the walls of the house are made. So, in a wooden house, the reception will be much better than in a panel one. Under difficult reception conditions (large distance from the TV tower, embossedterrain), it is better to use an active indoor antenna equipped with a built-in amplifier. Do not forget that the antenna for the TV to the cottage must be correctly oriented and tuned.
An indoor antenna is not the best option if the distance to the TV tower is more than 15 kilometers or the country house is located in a lowland. In this case, the best antenna for giving is an external antenna installed on the roof of the house. Before installing it, you should pay attention to the fact that there are no obstacles nearby that interfere with the passage of the signal. It is also important to take care of the quality of mounting the antenna on the roof in advance. Ideally, the outdoor antenna should be installed at a height of no more than 1.5 meters.
Satellite dish - access to the best satellite TV operators
Satellite dish to the cottage is the ideal solution for the countryside if you need access to the widest range of channels. Modern satellite dishes are powerful enough, therefore, they are able to provide their owner not only with a high-quality television signal, but also with a fast Internet connection.
There is no universal recipe for what diameter a satellite dish should be for a country house. The main criterion for choosing the size is what level of power the satellite signal has in each individual region. In the countryside and remote areas of the private sector, satellite television is often the onlyview your favorite channels. By purchasing a set of satellite equipment, you can set up to view 20-40 Russian-language free channels. In the event that the owner of the antenna knows the frequencies and the approximate location of the satellite, he will be able to set it up on his own without resorting to outside help, which can significantly reduce costs (more than 50% of the cost of all equipment).
