Outdoor Antenna Recommendations

Outdoor antennas come in two varieties, directional and multi-directional antennas. Directional antennas point towards the transmission tower to receive the signal. Directional antennas are the most efficient at receiving signals and, when paired with an antenna rotator, provide the best option for receiving signals from several transmission towers. Multi-directional antennas don't need to be pointed towards the transmission tower to receive a signal. They are a good option if you are just a short distance from the tower or in a metro setting.

Outdoor antennas are rated with a 6-color rating system. Antennas within the same color range should perform consistently with each other, helping you select an antenna without having to compare specs between different models. These ratings sometimes appear on the outside of a CEA-approved product.
