OK... now let's get to it!
Q&A > Can I Somehow Use Two or More TV Antennas?
This week's question comes from Tom who says, "We are moving to a new house. It seems that there are plenty of Over-the-Air TV stations in range, but they are in different directions. Can I somehow use two or more antennas?"
When you live in between two cities, or in places where local Over-the-Air TV broadcast towers are oddly distributed, your antenna needs may be a bit different than most.
Even 'omnidirectional' TV antennas can really only pick up stations from about a 40-degree spread. So if you're in a similar situation to Tom, you have two decent options: a TV antenna with poseable 'elements' or two directional antennas and a combiner accessory.
An antenna with poseable elements like the Antennas Direct DB8e allows you to target specific locations. It also automatically protects against multipath interference which is a common issue when combining antennas. In order to avoid this when using two directional antennas and a combiner, you'll need to ensure the coaxial cable going to both antennas is the same length.
