Winegard SS-3000 Indoor UHF/VHF Antenna SS3000 |
|
|
|
Winegard SS-3000 newest and best all-band indoor directional / bidirectional DTV/HDTV Antenna platform. Perfect for close range off-air reception in urban areas to receive HDTV signals up to 30 miles away from the broadcast tower utilizing a surface mount circuit board for highly efficient transfer of digital signals. It also features a high input amplifier specifically designed for digital signals. The SS-3000's scatter plane reflector rejects unwanted signal bouncing around the room and locks on to the usable digital signal.
This is Definitely NOT the Rabbit ears Antenna you grew up with! I keep thinking that it reminds me of a Ship's RADAR Antenna I used to work on down at the Docks in Florida. Everytime I turn on my TV, I keep waiting for it to start spinning around! It's Ultra-Modern Look and Features doesn't detract from the decor of you living or TV room that you've spent a lot of time and money to achieve. I have mine sitting on top of the Entertainment center that I have all my A/V Equipment in, and after I spent a few minutes moving it around, little by little each time, I findly found THE spot where every Digital TV channel comes in like a champ! My Mom and Dad use theirs for the little HDTV set they have in the Florida room and it works just fine, and it can move with the TV when they want to set up camp somewhere else in the house as the seasons change. When you find products like these, you have to carry and promote them. Matter of Fact, Most, if not All of the Winegards are Made in the USA. Remember that!

There is no substitute of height, clear line-of-site and size does matter... The higher the frequency, the higher the loss... Amplifiers do not give you something that you didn't have already...
The first key to any reception is to get above obstructions that exist between you and your target, as radio frequency reception of any kind (satellite, microwave, Radio and TV) are for the most part "Line-of-Sight" dependant. The fact that some receptions occur without line of sight is due to phenomenon not applicable in this discussion. As you increase your target distance, you increase the territory you must account for in maintaining line-of-sight. What tall building and air traffic exist in this corridor, no one can account for. Aircraft are very good at messing up reception for a number of reasons, even when flying way above the path, again removed for clarity in this discussion. Height, is therefore key in optimizing your ability to capture the best line-of-sight possible to your target.
Small Omni-Directional Antennas have a useable Reception Range of up to 35 miles.
Most Omni Directional Antennas ;are comprised mainly of a simple Loop Antenna turned back on itself into the shape of a circle on its side. Other Designs can be as simple as Modified "Rabbit-Ears" with or without a reflector to moderately increase Gain or Directivity. The Latest Designs are Loosely based on Printed Circuit Board Technology, where the tracings of the conductor laid on the Board or Film are laid with Physical Characteristics that attract and tune to the frequency range of the signals desirous for reception. Whereas most other TV antennas' gain is attributed to its directivity and the Focus of Beamwidth that is inherent with their rather ;large physical characteristics, Omni's have little gain compared to a simple dipole, and rely primarily on being in proximity to the Stations desirous of reception and/or amplification (either internal or external). As Interference and Strong signals can overdrive amplifiers and negatively impact Signal Reception, Antennas like these are used mostly in Mobile applications such as; Mobile homes, Trailers, Buses and Watercraft... Where the TV station location is unknown, multi-directional or constantly changing with locale. Home and Building permanent TV Antenna installations should consider other options first before considering small Omni's, unless the proximity to, and location of the TV Broadcast Stations are within the attributes of these Antennas.
