When installing an antenna there are several things you need to consider before you begin. First you need to decide which type of antenna suits your situation, the exact placement for your antenna, your budget, skill level and so on.Picking up the appropriate antenna is the first step.

Indoor antennas are usually easily installed right out the box. Some indoor antenna’s reception is so good that they provide excellent service no matter where you place them in your home. But there are also some cheap antennas which may not provide the same kind of quality reception.
Outdoor antennas are able to cover more area and can receive signal from all directions. Outdoor antennas give you a wider choice of shapes and sizes and most importantly, they can be installed in many different ways.If you are installing an outdoor antenna, chances are you will need a little bit more knowledge about where best to place the antenna for optimal reception, not to mention most likely having to climb up onto a roof to place it somewhere high to avoid any obstructions.
