That’s right friends, it’s the most wonderful time of the year (for antenna enthusiasts, anyway.) Solid Signal’s Antennathon has returned and it’s better than ever!
This year, in addition to the best prices on antennas, we have something special to share with you. Buy a Televes antenna and you’ll get 50% off an antenna mount if you check out with code ANTENNATHON. It’s just a little gift from us to you, and it’s a great way to get the antenna you really want.
Spotlight on VHF
In the last several years, US broadcast TV has had a big change. Channels 36-51 are no longer used for broadcast television. Those frequencies have been given over to 5G instead, which makes sense given the amazing demand for data we all have. It’s meant that more channels moved down into the range from channel 2-13, and that’s meant increased demand for VHF antennas.
One of my personal favorite antennas is this Dinova Boss Mix from Televes. It’s a dynamite little amplified antenna that has the best build quality of any compact antenna I’ve tested. The extendable VHF dipoles may look silly, but they enable the Dinova to get great VHF reception when needed. Even with the dipoles extended, it’s small enough to meet HOA requirements.
Now more than ever
With the writers’ and actors’ strikes going into extra innings so to speak, you’ll want a reliable source of great content more than ever. The strikes haven’t affected streaming as much as broadcast… yet… but they will. At this point I am guessing it’s going to be 18 months or more before the TV world is back to normal, and that’s not great news considering that there was a pause in production in 2020 because of you-know-what.
That means you’re going to want a source of video entertainment that’s there for you. Oh I know, there’s a never-ending stream of content on YouTube and TikTok. I don’t know about you but there’s only so much of that stuff I can watch. I prefer things that are professionally produced by people who know what they’re doing.
That means I like watching scripted TV. And luckily, there’s a lot of it on free broadcast television. You won’t get most of it on cable, satellite, or streaming though. You’ll need a TV antenna.
