What do I need to know before buying a TV antenna?

Home > FAQs > What do I need to know before buying a TV antenna?

Choose an antenna that receives both VHF and UHF signals. VHF and UHF refer to the frequencies stations use to broadcast their signals. If your favorite shows come on a network that’s only on cable or satellite, you won’t be able to watch them with an antenna. Most cable channels don’t broadcast over the airwaves.
