"Buyer Beware" We all have heard this a thousand times, yet many
consumers continue to purchase products with false or misleading
information. One case in point is HDTV antennas. Lets separate the facts
from the fiction.
FICTION; Special antennas are necessary to receive the new HDTV/Digital signal.
FACT;
HDTV is and will broadcast on many of the same channel frequencies that
traditional analog television has been broadcasting on for years.
FICTION; All HDTV/Digital signals will be broadcast on the UHF(14-69) frequency band.
FACT;
Nearly every television broadcasting market in the U.S. will have at
least one or more VHF(2-13) and UHF(14-69) HDTV channels.
FICTION; I will need to replace my current TV antenna to receive HDTV.
FACT;
If your current antenna can receive both VHF(CH.2-13) and UHF(Ch.14-69)
TV signals, and is in proper working order, it is unlikely a change
will be necessary.
Because of widespread misunderstanding many
people will purchase two TV antennas. The first antenna will be
purchased as an HDTV antenna. This antenna will be a UHF TV antenna. The
well meaning dealer who sold the antenna thought all HDTV/Digital
signals would be broadcast on the UHF band.
I believe for the
most part this is an honest mistake. All broadcasters are required to
broadcast their traditional analog signal until February 2009. At the
same time they are broadcasting their new HDTV signal. Because of the
limits in channel space allotted for television broadcasting, most HDTV
channels are temporarily assigned to UHF channels, and will permanently
be assigned in February 2009. At this time many of the HDTV channels
currently broadcast on the UHF(Ch.14-69) will return to the VHF(Ch.2-13)
frequency.
The fact of the matter is, there is no difference
between a traditional TV antenna and a HDTV antenna. Although some
people would like you to think there is, this simply isn't true.
When
choosing your HDTV antenna, use the same guide lines used for selecting
a traditional antenna. Consider the antennas Quality, size, range, and
how much money you are willing to spend and in most cases be sure it's
VHF/UHF capable. Remember if it sounds to good to be true, it probably
is.
