TV antenna specifications
Front-to-back ratio measures the antenna's ability to receive signals from the desired direction while rejecting signals from the opposite direction. A higher ratio implies better separating signals from interference.
popular TV antennas
Here are a few popular legacy antennas initially designed for analog TV. They are not perfect in weak signal locations. Nevertheless, these antennas are suitable for digital reception in medium to strong signal areas of Sydney Northern Beaches. If you see one on your roof, upgrading it may fix issues such as pixelation and missing channels. Manly Electronics does not install them.
| TV Antenna description | Gain dB | front to back ratio dB | price | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 UHF TV antenna 13dB | SX43 | 13 | 20 | $40 |
 High gain UHF TV antenna 15dB | SX91 | 15 | 20 | $95 |
 Phased array UHF TV antenna | PA2 | 11-13.5 | 16-21 | $77 |
Cheap antennas from $5
Recently, inexpensive antennas have appeared on the market, available for as low as $20. While these may function in locations with perfect reception, so do indoor rabbit ears, which start at just $5 and do not require roof installation. Also, with perfect reception in the location, a piece of cable inserted into the TV antenna socket may work as an antenna. However, with indoor antennas, not all channels may be available or pixelated when you move around the room.
