TV Antenna Comparison Guide
Different TV antennas for different situations
Indoor Antenna
These indoor antennas are smaller, cheaper and typically not amplified. They however do not work very well when channels are being broadcast further than 20-30 miles away from your home.
Our NoCable 30 is ranked #1 at TheAntennaReview.com
Indoor Amp'd Antenna
These indoor antennas very similar to the indoor ones, but are usually amplified (boosted) with power. They work best when trying to capture channels that are being broadcast within 30-50 miles of your home.
Our NoCable 50 is ranked #1 at TheAntennaReview.com
Outdoor Amp'd Antenna
These outdoor antennas have better range (30-70+ miles) and are typically mounted on a roof or inside an attic. These powerful antennas work best if when you need one antenna to power your whole home.
Our NoCable 70 is ranked #2 at TheAntennaReview.com
Outdoor Rotational Antenna
These outdoor antennas are typically mounted very high on a roof or on a pole and rotate with a remote controller. These powerful antennas work best if when you have TV signals coming from completely different directions.
