The purpose of a TV antenna is to capture free TV signals broadcast in your area. This includes live access to dozens of channels like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and more. By installing a low-cost antenna in your home, you can watch your favorite dramas, comedies, news and sports absolutely free and in HD quality.

Different TV antennas for different needs.

Indoor antenna models

Indoor TV antennas are compact, easy to install and easily blend in with your décor, but they are also less powerful. These antennas are the most practical solution those who live in urban areas.

Outdoor antenna models

Outdoor TV antennas are much more powerful and can lock in TV channels from further away, but set up can be more involved. Outdoor antennas are ideal for those who live in suburban or rural areas.
