It seems that it could be easier than plugging the antenna plug into the antenna jack of a digital receiver and plug the bells into the TV and after automatic tuning you can watch football or cartoons on digital television. In general, “so it is, it is so, but three c and not so ”- used to say the character of Mikhail Pugovkin in one of the thin films. films.
How to connect an antenna
There are some points when connecting several digital terrestrial receivers to one antenna that I want to outline in this article. If to view digital programs the usualpassive antenna, it is enough to apply - splitter and all short-lived. But, the fact is that now very good products have appeared on the market. antennas forDVB- T2 that have an amplifier television signal, the power of the amplifiers on these antennas is designed for a voltage of 5 volts and these volts are supplied directly from the receiver itself. That is, the power supply unit is not attached to such an antenna, the receiver itself performs the function of the power supply unit. This is very convenient, but it creates some difficulties when connecting several receivers to one antenna. Several connection options are used.
Option one“ consistent” .
With this option, the set-top boxes are connected in series, the antenna output of the first set-top box is connected to the antenna input of the second set-top box, from the output of the second, to the third, and so on.
In the options of the first receiver, the antenna power is set to ON, on the other set-top boxes in the chain, the antenna power cannot be turned on.
For example, Oriel-203 - generally not bad budget receiver, has no such option, so if you choose serial connection, terrestrial digital receiverDVB- T2 Must have an antenna output plug.
Another drawback is that the antenna amplifier is powered from the first receiver, and if this receiver is turned off, the rest of the receivers will not work either, since the power to the antenna amplifier will be turned off. You will have to keep the first receiver constantly on, and in case of failure of the first receiver -an urgent replacement is required, otherwise “there will be no cine”.
As a temporary replacement for a receiver that has come out of a standing position, you can connect the antenna input and output plugs, since they are “daddy-mommy” and then supply power from the second working receiver.
Option two with a diplexer.
For the second option, you will need For this connection option, any receivers are suitable, an additional antenna output is not required.
V in this case, You turn on the power of the antenna amplifier in the options of all set-top boxes, and with any set-top box turned on, the supply voltage will be supplied to the antenna amplifier. I personally do not observe any drawbacks in this method of connection, except perhaps that you have to fork out for a splitter.
How to connect a set-top box to a TV.
To connect a digital DVB-T 2 to a TV, the receiver has several options for output connectors.
The most common are RCA plugs, familiar to us "bells", these bells can be connected to almost any TV. The signal transmitted through RCA is analog, i.e. digital signal received from the air is converted to analog.
Connector HDMI, also available on all digital receivers unlike RCA, HDMI transmits a digital signal, this connection is preferable. Many modern TVs who do not have their digital tuners can be connected via HDMI
This is the simplest terrestrial DVB-T2 receiver that can be connected to TVs or monitors (some types) to view digital television... It has HDMI, YPbPr (component) video output, composite RCA output, digital coaxial audio output, USB 2.0 port to which you can connect external drives for playback (as a media player) and recording (including scheduled) television programs. As a media player, the receiver supports popular video and audio formats, has a Timeshift delayed viewing mode (if there is a connected storage device).

And here is the receiver. The case was covered with a protective film that partially blocks access to the ventilation holes.
Weighed it. 291g.
The front panel is made of plastic, it contains a USB connector, an IR sensor, an LED indicator (two-color: red in standby mode, green in operating mode), as well as buttons for switching channels and turning on the receiver. 
The display had a protective film. I already took it off.
The rear panel contains antenna input and output connectors (the receiver supports loop-through), a coaxial digital audio output connector, an HDMI connector, three YPrPb component video connectors, and three RCA connectors for composite video and stereo audio.
The purpose of each pin is described in the instructions. 
The set included a cable for connecting an analog video and audio signal (RCAx2 (L / R)). 
The remote control was in a separate package. 
Regular remote, nothing special. It is comfortable in the hand.
See the instructions for the purpose of the buttons. 
There are some ambiguities about the purpose of the buttons. But more on that at the end of the story.
The remote control is powered by two AAA batteries. 
Batteries are not included.
I took it apart just in case. Nothing interesting inside. 
I'll see what's inside the receiver.
I unscrew 4 screws. 
Everything is very compact. The power supply and receiver are located on the same board. Between the primary and secondary circuits in the kerf board. There is a fuse at the entrance. 
Galvanically isolated power supply.
The "brain" is the MSTAR MSD7T01 processor. 
It's time to see what he (the receiver) can do.
The device is connected to the TV LETV X3-40 FHD LED Smart TV.
When turned on, you are prompted to select the menu language, country and start a channel search. 
The language I chose was Russian, the country was Russia.
Two multiplexes are broadcast in Tambov. 
TV (LETV) allows you to take screenshots. That is why I connected to it. All photos with original resolution. Changed nothing. 
This is how the main menu looks like (press the "MENU" button). 
The controls are intuitive. Move with the arrows. Confirm with the OK button. 
When you select "Channel Editor" asks for a password. For editing, enter zeros (as a password).
Channels can be moved, skipped, blocked, deleted, added to favorites and renamed. 
This is the next line of the menu (TV guide). 
You can schedule both recording and viewing. 
Proceed to the next section Menu - "Video" contains settings for screen aspect ratio, resolution (1080P 60HZ, 1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i) and a choice of PAL and NTSC standards. The choice of standards (PAL and NTSC) when transmitting a signal via HDMI does not affect the image in any way. 
Various screen formats are offered for users to choose from:
-Auto
- 16: 9 PillarBox
- 16: 9 Pan & Scan
- 4: 3 Letter Box
- 4: 3 Pan & Scan
- 4: 3 Fullscreen
- 16: 9 wide screen.
I pass on to the next section of the Menu. In the “Channel search” section, you can repeat the automatic channel search, turn on or off the additional antenna power, filter the encoded channels (if applicable).
You can use manual search.
Now the next item is Menu.
Here you can select your time zone and region. The region can only be selected in Moscow (in auto mode). In manual mode, select the time zone correction (the DVB-T2 standard supports time transmission). 
And also set up auto shutdown (from 1 to 12 hours with an interval of 1 hour) and the time to turn on / off the device. 
The next menu is language. 
System settings allow you to activate parental controls, 
Set password, 
restore factory settings (the password is still the same zeros), 
get information about software 
and update the software. 
I have not done this procedure. So far, everything is fine. 
The last item on the Menu. 
To play and record video files, you need to connect a USB device.
Writes with the MTS extension.
The MTS extension is associated with video files that are used in the AVHCD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) video format. AVHCD video format was developed for tapeless camcorders. Videos can be recorded by a camcorder that writes files to DVD, hard disk, solid state disk (SSD), or memory card (SD, Memory Stick). The MTS AVHCD format was developed by Sony and Panasonic and was introduced in 2006. Now the AVHCD video format is used by camcorders from manufacturers such as Sony, Panasonic, Leica, Canon, Hitachi and JVC (JVC uses AVHCD and its own video format with the TOD extension).A 1 minute recording takes up 23-24MB of space.
MTS file uses MPEG-4AVC / H.264 (AVC) video encoding. The maximum video resolution is 1080i. Audio is encoded with Dolby Digital AC-3 audio codec. Some professional camcorder models support uncompressed linear PCM audio. AVHCD video format is designed to be fully compatible with Blu-ray video format. AVHCD videos can be played in Blu-ray players without encoding.
You can see an example of a recording:
Recorded file characteristics:
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x576 (20:11) 25.00fpsTo record broadcasts and to work with Timeshift, you need a USB storage device connected to the USB port, and you don't have to go to the Menu. For this, there are dedicated buttons on the remote control. We count from left to right, top to bottom.
Audio: MPEG Audio 48000Hz stereo 192Kbps
Subtitle
The first button "USB" opens the menu item of the same name. The second button enables video recording.
The fourth button activates Timeshift. The screen image freezes (pause mode) and recording to the USB drive starts.
After drinking tea or coffee, press the same button and continue watching the program you like.
The third button turns off video recording / turns off Timeshift.
Rewinding a track (the first two buttons in the second row) allows you to increase the viewing speed (x2, x4, x8, x16, x32) by successive pressing.
The next two buttons provide access to the previous or next video file.
Change the resolution and aspect ratio of the screen with the green and yellow buttons.
The receiver can also receive teletext signals.
At the end, some information for the extras.
Receiver heating during operation is not strong. Power consumption from the network is only 5.4W. In standby mode 1.1W.
I connected an external hard drive as a storage device. Lacks power. The SSD is working fine.
It's time to move on to the final part. I will highlight what I liked and did not like. The point of view is subjective.
Pros:
Fully compatible with DVB-T2 format:
built-in power module (no adapter required);
metal case;
availability of the Timeshift delayed viewing mode (if there is a connected drive);
the presence of on and off timers;
HDMI output for viewing high quality images;
recording TV programs to external USB drives;
convenient multilingual menu;
support for teletext and subtitles.
Minuses:
lack of display;
the absence of any hints of the manufacturer.
And one more thing at the end.
I talked about the device that I hold in my hands. Pointed out all the pluses and minuses. Everything that I noticed, I wrote about everything.
If you are unclear about something, ask questions. I hope at least helped someone.
That's it.
Good luck!
The product is provided for writing a review by the store. The review is published in accordance with clause 18 of the Site Rules.
I plan to buy +59 Add to favourites I liked the review +34 +83TV antenna - when there is a need to make a choice, many find it difficult to choose which antenna to purchase to receive free digital television. For this reason, many are bought for advertising gimmicks and there is a high probability of purchasing an unimportant antenna for a lot of money.
Hello dear readers! The author of this blog, Vitaly, is in touch! In my previous article on this topic, I talked about the antenna known as the "Key to Digital TV" And the readers of this post very often ask the question about which antenna to choose?
To answer most of these questions at once, it was decided to write another article in which there will be a selection of antennas recommended by me and other specialists. And also some explanations and recommendations. Please read them carefully, perhaps this will clear some of your questions.
P.S. Antenna names are given in the article, but note that they may differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. This means that antennas of a similar type and characteristics can have the name LOCUS, DELTA, MERIDIAN, ETHER, etc. Therefore, it is not necessary to be guided by the given names, look at the appearance!
All images in the article will be numbered, but this is only so that I could easily indicate the recommended antennas, if asked about it later. There is no rating in this numbering! For convenience only. So! Go!

Indoor antennas
Indoor antenna Sirius 2.0 without amplifier. Designed for use in areas with a strong signal. These are settlements in which there are transmitting towers and at a short distance from them, 5-15 km. With line of sight. Signal gain 5 dB. Such antennas can be performed with an amplifier, but this does not make them suitable for difficult signal reception conditions.
Indoor antenna with amplifier DVS-Z2. Although this antenna has a large gain, up to 32 dB (due to the amplifier), there will be little sense from it. I also recommend using it in areas of reliable reception and at short distances from the tower of 5-15 km. With line of sight. It is good to use such an antenna in a city to receive a reflected signal; an amplifier can be useful in this. And it is powered through the antenna plug with a voltage of 5 volts.
The next group of indoor antennas
They have approximately the same characteristics. These are passive (no amplifier) antennas. Signal amplification factor 4-7 dB. But they will be somewhat more efficient than the antennas provided above.
These are not bad antennas, they can be successfully used to receive digital television in areas of both a strong signal and at some distance from TV towers. For example, I receive a signal with antennas of this kind from a distance of about 20 km. and from the first floor, but not everyone is so lucky!
It all depends on many factors. Transmitter power, terrain, clutter with high-rise buildings .... In general, if there is nothing very close on the way from you to the TV tower, then these antennas may well cope.
Indoor antennas with amplifier
These antennas do about the same job as those without an amplifier. But the amplifier is useful in some cases and helps to pull the attenuated signal to an acceptable level. They can be used not only in areas of a good signal, but also, let's say, a slightly complicated or reflected signal.
But still, these are indoor antennas and this limits them. For example, if your windows do not face the TV tower, and there is no way to catch the reflected signal from the opposite side, they may be useless.
By the way! There is no need not to evaluate the reflected signal, you can perfectly watch digital television on it.
Locus L999.06 Next - Active broadband antenna. Supplied unassembled. The amplifier is powered by 12 volts from an external power supply. UHF gain 23-27 dB.
Locus L922.06 Not a bad indoor antenna. Looks neat, there are options with and without an amplifier. The version with the amplifier is equipped with a power regulator, which can be very useful.
Delta K131A.02 and the other two from the above group are also active antennas, but with a 5 Volt amplifier supply voltage. It can be fed directly from the DVB-T2 set-top box or through a special injector from the USB port of an LCD TV. The gain of these antennas is up to 22-27 dB.
Cayman active antenna , - can be in two versions 1) Powered through the antenna plug. 2) With a built-in injector for power supply from the USB port, which is very convenient for use with LCD TVs that have this port. There is no need to purchase an additional 5-volt power supply with an injector and take up another outlet.
Outdoor antennas for digital television
Moving on to more serious designs, the task of which is to provide a high-quality signal where indoor antennas cannot cope. Gain from 19 dB to 35 dB.
These are antennas that can be used in more difficult conditions and at somewhat longer distances. If you have noticed, they are structurally similar to indoor antennas, but only slightly larger. And this is the important factor that makes them more powerful. The longer the boom in the antenna, the greater the coefficient of its own gain. This is the gain that is achieved not due to the amplifier, but due to the design of the antenna. And the installed amplifier only "shakes" this signal even more.
In addition, the outdoor installation allows them to more accurately direct them to the TV tower, bypassing obstacles in the form of walls.
Hummingbird - An interesting antenna. Works both in the meter and dmv ranges. Its peculiarity is an unusual design, which, despite its small dimensions, provides a fairly good signal reception. It is very convenient in urban conditions and for finding the reflected signal, the short length allows it to be installed in a confined space. It has several modifications and can be supplied with an amplifier powered by either 12 or 5 volts.
Locus -14 AF - This antenna also has several modifications, designation AF- with amplifier, F - without amplifier. There is also Locus - 20 AF / F is distinguished by a longer boom, and therefore an even greater coefficient of its own amplification. The amplifier operates on 5 volts.
Delta H3111.02 - There are also options with and without an amplifier, in addition, it may be under a different name (depending on the manufacturer) and differ in the method of connecting a television cable to it.
Meridian - 07 AF — Made of aluminum.
Antennas numbered 11-14 This is good antennas, and affordable, only "Kolibri" will be somewhat more expensive
They can be used at a distance of up to 30 km. But again, if there are factors that interfere with the passage of the signal, then even at closer distances an even more powerful antenna may be needed.
Powerful antenna for digital TV
These antennas are good for long distances and even more difficult conditions, for example, if your house is in a strong lowland.
At what long distances can they be used? For example, I had to put Ether 18AF (by the way, not the strongest in this trio) on a house located 45 kilometers from the TV tower. At the same time, the house stood in the lowland, and the antenna was fixed on the ridge of the roof of the house, there was some kind of pin sticking out, and the antenna was fixed on it. Everything is great!
Ether 18 - Antenna made of steel, powder-coated, available with and without amplifier. The letter A in the name indicates that the antenna is active, with an amplifier. If there is only F in the name, then this is an antenna without an amplifier. Meridian -12 AF / F antennas are also marked.
Meridian-12 and Triton - Made of aluminum and even more powerful than Ether-18. The reason is not only in the material, but also in the design. For example, the antenna "Meridian" is about 1.5 meters long. And "Triton" has short arrows, but there are already three of them. It adds up to one long.
Active antennas from this trio have amplifiers powered by 5 volts. Which is convenient for use with DVB-T2 set-top boxes. The Triton antenna also has an injector for power supply via USB, which is indicated in the marking. The gain of these antennas reaches 35 dB. due to the amplifier. But thanks to their design, the amplifier has something to strengthen)))
THOSE. The antenna itself pulls a signal from the air with a level of about 10-12 dB (this is called the antenna's own gain) And the amplifier already accelerates it to 35 dB.
The most powerful antenna for DVB-T2
Well, if you carefully read the previous descriptions, then you should understand why these antennas are the most powerful ones presented in this review.
For example, the GoldMaster-GM500 antenna is a passive antenna, without an amplifier. But the coefficient of its own gain, only due to the design as much as 22 dB. Such gain is provided by mid-link antennas and then at the expense of the amplifier. And here in its pure form!
The next antennas from this "red zone" are just as effective, plus they are also active. Their amplifiers are powered by 5 volts. Ie are sharpened for digital set-top boxes. Or, if you do not use a set-top box, since you bought a TV set with DVB-T2, then you will need either a separate power supply unit for antennas, 5 volts, or an injector for power supply from USB.
This is the class of antennas that you need to take if you live at a distance from the transmitting tower from 50 km and further and have a very difficult area for receiving a TV signal.
Why you do not need to strive for an antenna with an amplifier
It is noticed that the word "Amplifier" has some kind of magical property! And when a person chooses an antenna, he prefers just such active antennas. Why is this a wrong point of view?
- In the zone of reliable reception, the amplifier can lead to the fact that your TV / set-top box will not receive anything at all! Reason, signal over-amplification!
- The amplifier amplifies not only the useful signal, but also the radio noise. And it is the antenna design that draws out the useful signal!
- The amplifier is always the weak link in the antenna design. It breaks down, it is hit by a thunderstorm, it oxidizes from moisture. As a result, periodic intervention in antenna repair is required.
- It is required to provide power to the amplifier located in the antenna, and this is another additional weak link, the adapters fail and require replacement. In addition, one more connection point is required, an outlet or a USB port, and this is not always convenient!
- In the case of a connection, this is much easier to do with an antenna that does not have an amplifier.
When you need an amplifier
- If the total length of the television cable exceeds several tens of meters.
- If you live at a great distance from the transmitting tower, in an area of weak signal and the design of the antenna itself does not allow you to “pull out” the signal to the required level.
Conclusion! - If in your place of residence it is possible to confidently receive a signal to an antenna without an amplifier, always strive for an antenna without an amplifier!
How to supply power to an active antenna amplifier
There are several ways to supply power to the antenna booster.
- If you use a digital set-top box, then the power is supplied directly from it, via the antenna cable. There is no need to be smart. Just go to the set-top box menu and find the item "Power ant. on »In different models of prefixes this inscription may differ, but the essence is the same. Turn on the power to the antenna! Even if the amplifier in the antenna is 12 volts, often 5 volts from the set-top box will be enough.
- If you do not use a set-top box, then to power the active antenna you will need either a special adapter with an injector that can be connected to the USB port of the TV and so to power the antenna. Alternatively, purchase a USB powered antenna. These methods are very convenient for LCD TVs, especially those hanging on the wall.
- The classical way is through a power supply unit for antennas with a voltage corresponding to the amplifier.
Well, I’ll probably end on this! Under the "Television" section of this blog, there are many more articles on antennas, set-top boxes, and television.
- do not use purchased when your grandfather went to first grade;
- don't buy the cheapest one with virtually no braid. Choose normal ones;
- do not shorten as much as possible;
- do not make sharp creases;
- do not twist the excess into a bay.
Even if you connect the pieces with a standard coaxial connector, the signal quality is guaranteed to deteriorate.
Using the amplifier
This inexpensive summer cottage antenna gives a good result. If you plan to receive this antenna only, then two of its long side "mustaches" can be unscrewed.
Wave channel
They give good results, especially for remote signal reception when it is weak enough.
Polish
Many TV viewers use a "Polish" antenna - a grid and four rows of antennae. It doesn't matter where it was made, they used to call it "Polish", and sometimes "mesh". Very often, it demonstrates not the best characteristics for receiving a digital signal.
In general, for admission to the country , very sensitive. If the reception of a digital signal on it in your area turns out to be normal, then you are just in luck. The amplifier of this antenna can be powered by a 5 volt power supply, which can be taken from a digital tuner, and then you do not need to use an additional power supply.
Zigzag
indoor antenna performs well for. Even if you paid dearly for it, the result may be zero.
If you want only a room antenna as a terrestrial antenna for a summer residence, you may be "advised" to buy it at a higher price and "better". But if you hope that she will start giving you a wonderful signal in your room, then this hope is in vain. If the signal in the house is bad, no antenna will help. External is the solution to the problem if there is no reception in the room.
Satellite
Remember? We're talking ethereal, so forget satellites. You will not receive terrestrial television in the DVB-T2 standard through a satellite tuner. You will not be connecting a T2 tuner to. We receive the T2 signal from the nearest broadcasting tower in the decimeter range. On an ordinary terrestrial antenna for a summer residence, not a "plate".
How to connect several dvb t2 consoles to one antenna? A large number of digital terrestrial set-top boxes can be connected to one antenna. Depending on the number of attachments and their location, various connection schemes are used for these purposes.
Connecting digital set-top boxes to a passive antenna
If the antenna is conventional, without an amplifier, then the set-top boxes are connected through an ether divider, such as SAH 204F for two TVs, such as SAH 306F for three TVs, in total, you can connect a maximum of eight TVs with a divider such as SAH 812 F. When you need to connect more TVs, then combinations are used dividers and couplers.If, when dividing the signal into attachments, the signal power is not enough, then an amplifier with autonomous power supply must be installed at the input of the divider.
Fig. 1. Wiring diagram for connecting three DVB-T2 set-top boxes to a passive antenna
Fig. 2. Wiring diagram for two attachments through the loop output of the receiver 1 (attachments)
The second set-top box, receiver 2, can be connected to the antenna via the loop output of receiver 1. Power is supplied to the active antenna from receiver 1.
Which connection option should you choose from the proposed ones? Probably, everything is determined by the conditions for wiring a television cable in a house or apartment.
Connecting digital set-top boxes to an active antenna
An active antenna usually refers to an antenna equipped with an amplifier. The antenna amplifier built into the antenna matching device must receive power, which is most often supplied through a coaxial cable connected to the antenna.If there is a digital set-top box in a single quantity, then the supply voltage is supplied to the antenna amplifier from the antenna jack of the set-top box, and when two or more set-top boxes are connected to the antenna, then the use of special dividers with a power pass, for example, satellite ones, is required.
The supply voltage from each of the attachments goes to the divider, and then from the input of the divider to the antenna amplifier.
Fig. 3. Power supply from the set-top box to the active antenna
Attention! Connecting antennas equipped with an antenna amplifier with a supply voltage of more than 10 V to a digital set-top box will have a negative effect. Connecting to a set-top box, with activated antenna power, antennas without an amplifier, but only with a matching device, can damage the set-top box.
