Facts: It's not the antenna that makes a broadcast signal 480,
720 or 1080. It's the broadcast station that does that. If the
channel is say WUTV Fox 29, the last time we measured it, it
was in 720p with 5.1 audio. WGRZ NBC is 1080i with 5.1
audio. With digital TV, if the antenna picks up enough of the
signal it will be at the resolution that was broadcast, no higher
or lower. The idea is to get the right antenna for you, one that
picks up the distant channels and holds up to the WNY weather
for years to come.
As to range or distance, because the earth is round, it has a
curvature and anything located beyond 70 miles or so will be
getting down to below the earths horizon. TV signals are Line
Of Site, they do not go through the earth, just the air.
Now, if your antenna was really high, like on a mountain and
the broadcast station was on a real high mountain and the
transmitter was pointing right at your antenna and no other
mountains were in the way, then maybe you could do a few
hundred miles, maybe. |
