Outdoor aerials are a type of TV aerial. They sit outside, usually on building roofs, pick up signals and transmit them to your TV. You can install an outdoor aerial wherever you live, but they\u2019re particularly popular in rural areas. This is because they tend to the best way to get TV signal in more isolated areas.<\/p>\n
Outdoor aerials have some great advantages but aren\u2019t for everyone. To help you work out whether an outdoor aerial is right for you, we\u2019ve made a list of their pros and cons.<\/p>\n
A great advantage to outdoor aerials is that they\u2019re good at picking up weaker signals as well as stronger ones. This means that if you live in an area where there are lots of other signals or very weak television signals, your TV picture is likely to be better than if you use an indoor aerial.<\/p>\n
Outdoor aerials are also a good option because they\u2019re less susceptible to interference than indoor aerials. As they\u2019re installed outside of your home, outdoor aerials aren\u2019t affected by the interference problems that walls and ceilings cause indoor aerials.<\/p>\n
One downside to outdoor aerials is that they\u2019re bulky. They\u2019re usually quite a lot bigger than indoor aerials. Plus, they come with mounting hardware and a cable that needs to stretch from the aerial to your TV or signal distributor. If you want something smaller, an indoor aerial is probably a better choice for you.<\/p>\n
Another disadvantage to outdoor aerials is that they\u2019re tricky to install. If you want to get the strongest and highest quality TV picture possible, you really need to install your outdoor aerial as high up as possible. This is why most people fit their aerial on a roof or tall pole. So unless you have the right tools and safety equipment and are used to working at height, it\u2019s best not to try to install an outdoor aerial yourself. A professional installer will not only install your aerial safely, they\u2019ll also know where to put it to get the best possible signal.<\/p>\n
Indoor aerials, on the other hand, are easy to set up and rarely require professional installation.<\/p>\n
