One great way to save money on entertainment is by returning to the magic of broadcast television. Attach an antenna to your TV to watch free, live content in HD from popular networks. Here’s how to easily find and record your shows.
Finding the right antenna
First, determine whether you need an unamplified, amplified or large outdoor antenna. Here’s a quick explainer:
- Amplified antennas: These are usually meant to be used inside houses with a medium-strength signal.
- Unamplified antennas: These have a shorter range. They’re simple and cheap. Plus, they’re designed to be used in houses near a strong signal.
- Large outdoor antennas: These are ideal for areas with a weak signal. They can be amplified or unamplified.
