INTRODUCTION

With the economy in recession, many of us have to cut back on our spending. Cutting back does not necessary mean that we must make huge sacrifices. In fact, sometimes it is as simple as change a lifestyle and makes small adjustments. One of the easiest ways to save $40 bucks a month or more in a common household is cutting the cable service and switch back to the old rabbit ear antenna. If you are like me who do not watch that much television, this little adjustment means a $500 saving a year.

In fact, many of the cable shows can be found at Hulu.com and at the television networks’ own website, often in HD format. So if the shows you watch can be found online or at the network’s website, then cutting that cable service is a good way to save money.

Switching back to the old antenna could possibly means that you are in the shop for a new antenna. The high definition digital signal is different from the old analog signal. You either get all or none deal with the picture. This means that no more granny picture with statics when you get weak reception. What you will get instead is just a black screen. However, if you get a good reception, it means clear picture without any interference. Thus, your location and distance from the TV broadcasting signal tower and your receiver would be the dominating factor in receiving a picture.

The truth is that all television antennas are designed to receive signals at Ultra High Frequencies (UFH), Very High Frequencies (VHF), or both regardless or analog or digital. This means that even the old antenna that you have in your house from the analog age would still work with current HDTV. Do not get fooled by all of the marketing hypes of HDTV antenna. However, even among all of the antennas, there are some with good reception and some are having poor reception. In my opinion, as long as an antenna is able to receive a clear signal, then it is a good antenna.

Today, we are going to look at two amplified antenna courtesy of Rosewill. The RMS-HAD5000 is an indoor/outdoor antenna and the RMS-DA7600 is an indoor antenna that is designed to be portable.

Both antennas are amplified antenna. Amplified antennas are capable of increase the signal strength, thus are able to get a slightly better reception. However, do not be fool by thinking that if you are located in an area with poor reception you will automatically get a good reception with the antenna. It does not work like this. Instead, it would only amplify the signal that the receiver receives to boost its signal. It can also be beneficial to have an amplified antenna when running a long cable or several splitters between the antenna and TV.
