What else can I help you with?
Should you use UHF antenna with digital converter box or VHF?
You need a VHF/UHF antenna (channels 2 to 60 ). Check out: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html
What kind of antenna do you need for broadband TV?
Try a regular off air UHF/VHF antenna which cover channels 2 thru 69. while there are a few VHF stations (channels 2-13) still on the air most are UHF (channels 14-69) and are HDTV. This info applies to stations in the USA.
How can you connect an antenna to uhf and vhf to get both uhf and vhf on tv at the same time?
First, you need an antenna that is both uhf and vhf comaptible. Usuaully it will have a pair of rabbit ears (vhf) and a center loop or plate (uhf). Make sure the rabbit ears are completely extended then just re-scan your channels on your digital box or your hdtv.
Explain application of uhf yagi antenna?
A YAGI UHF antenna is made to be very directional and receive all the UHF frequencies better than any others. In the US, some digital stations are still on the upper VHS band, channels 7 to 13. More info can be found at www.tvfool.com.
Can a uhf antenna pick up vhf signals as well?
Yes, a UHF antenna can pick up VHF signals, but not well. The size difference makes the uhf antenna "inefficient" for the longer vhf wave length, but some energy can be received by the uhf antenna.
Will a 27mhz cb antenna work on your uhf cb radio?
No, this is not a wise move to make. The antenna metals are not the same. you have to know that antenna metals are different within all Mhz. 2nd- The connectors are different. CB has a wider coax connector and Uhf us smaller. Radio Range/ distance will be less if you use a short wave antenna known as CB. Best to get a High wave antenna- UHF. 27 Mhz is cb radio and the waves are low and long (about 11 meters). 400-460 Mhz is UHF and the waves are high and short (about 67 centimeters). You would need a UHF radio antenna to get the best SWR. Installing a UHF antenna on a car it would require a proper uhf antenna and coax and drilling and using only a UHF Coax cable with the connector. Or buy the Uhf magnet antenna. They are hard to find in your local city and they are pricy because you cant buy them used or at cb shops. you will have to buy one online or go to a Junk yard and find a Police car that has one on top of car. You can Mod Coax cables only if its a UHF cable and antenna. Grounding a car UHF antenna in house can be difficult. Don't run ground to AC ground! you can damage radio. Run Ground wire to the dirt outside and dig a hole and fix with a little water and keep hot coax separated from ground on uhf. Best is to run this to Gutter on roof. Do not MOD CB coaxes with UHF antenna or mix with magnet antenna or CB, VHF, Marine radios. You will waste your time. 800 Mhz police antenna will be your closest match if you decide to do this. It goes by the wave and wave length. Keep Digging
What's a good antenna for a TV?
Getting a VHF antenna will allow the TV to have a strong signals and get the programs that you would need. Also, UHF could be another alternative to VHF.
How do you tell if you have a vhf or uhf antenna?
You can tell by the length of the usually aluminum dipoles. The dipole length is related to the ability of the antenna to receive the incoming wavelength. Lower VHF television channels require a longer dipole to receive longer electromagnetic wave lengths. Therefore if the dipoles of the antenna are fairly long, say 3-4 ft., you have an antenna for the (lower) VHF wavelengths. If the dipoles are very short (1 ft.) then the antenna is more capable of receiving shorter UHF wavelengths (and most digital signals, too). Many modern television antennas for exterior use combine the capabilities and have different dipoles for both high and low frequency waves. Effective 2/17/2009; all TVs with an antennae will no longer work. You must have a cable box in order to see TV nowadays.
How can you connect freeview tv without a vhf uhf antenna?
Freeview is the name of the UK's terrestrial digital television service. It is received only with a suitable UHF antenna. Other free television services for the UK include Freesat, available with a satellite dish and receiver or via Sky with out a subscription, limited to a selection of the free channels on the Sky platform.
What retailers sell a UHF antenna?
There are many retailers that sell UHF antennas. Examples of retailers that sell UHF antennas include Amazon, Overstock, Best Buy, Staples, Target, and Walmart.
What was a Pre-remote channel changer?
There was a knob (or handle or dial) on the set that changed the channels as you turned it. Often there were 2 knobs: One that had VHF channels 2-13 and "UHF", and when you set it at UHF then you could use the second knob to change UHF channels 14 to about 83 (I think). These were and still are standard antenna broadcast channels. Channels with higher numbers (84 to the hundreds and thousands) are cable / satellite channels only... These knobs on early sets changed a "mechanical" switch that set the TV to receive a particular channel. It went "click-click-click" as it was turned. They will still work. Newer TVs have electronic channel selectors, usually controlled by a remote device, and also often have buttons right on the set that will also electronically select the channels.
Can a uhf vhf antenna receive FM radio broadcast?
Any antenna can receive anything, but not very well unless it's the correct length for the frequency you're trying to receive. Yes, this antenna will work well so you will not need a special FM only antenna.
