    Do I need a special Philips antenna to receive digital terrestrial TV broadcastings? And what kind of antenna should I use?

    Published on 2019-09-10

    Digital terrestrial television uses normal antenna technique. Depending on the state of your antenna and local circumstances you do not need a special antenna installation.

    When you connect an antenna, please pay attention to the following:

    • Several transmitters simultaneously send the same signal over the same frequency channel; a more directional sensitive antenna is preferred
    • Gitter antenna's are less powerful and therefore the signal that they transmit may be weaker
    • The use of a non-directional antenna could result in a bad reception, because of the interference from other antennas in its vicinity
    • Gitter-antennas are also marketed as digital antennas
