| Antennas and MATV Antenna Systems |

 In a traditional home, a special antenna generally is not needed to receive digital
signals. You may have antenna issues however, if your current antenna does not receive
UHF signals (channels 14 and above) well. This is because locally, DTV stations
broadcast on the UHF band. In this case, you will need a new antenna to ensure good
reception. If you don’t feel comfortable installing your own DTV antenna, Andtech
offers DTV solutions. You may also find basic UHF antennas at Home Depot, Lowes,
other hardware stores as well as Radio Shack. Andtech promotes legendary companies
like Winegard and Channel Master. These products have unsurpassed results. If you
are a Facilities Manager, Property Manager (PM) for multi-dwelling type property
(apartments, condo’s, hotels, motels), you really should give us a call. Andtech
can offer your property several reception solutions which can allow standard TV’s
to continue to function without replacement. No, this will not give you a high definition
picture, but you won’t be in the snow. Not everyone wants high definition (HD) and
this solution may be a better alternative then seeing new antennas sprouting on
the rooftops.
 This DTV transition could really impact all of these types of properties!
Sadly, many don’t allow antennas to be installed on their rooftops. Unfortunately,
Federal Law may supersede these CC&R rules to ensure access of TV to all. Most property
managers are unaware that their properties will NOT even be able to support the
UHF signals (DTV) once the VHF transmissions end. It has always amazed me the response
from people when something they are use to goes away. Think your phone has been
busy before?? Andtech is expecting such an inrush of demand that all vacations will
not be allowed after January 1st as we know the last minute problems that will occur
and are pre-planning for them. Do everyone a favor, have your properties inspected
early or look at the solutions available early! Andtech has installed and maintained
many MATV systems and is a leader in this RF industry. Special equipment will be
needed and only technicians equipped with the right test equipment can make this
conversion possible. Call us today! |
