Digital TV Antenna Design
Jeff Liebermann wrote:
Same here. Back in the 1970's, I lived in Israel for a while. In the cities, everyone lived in big apartment complexes. Nobody watched the official Israeli stations. The good programming was on the various Arab stations, which were diverse, distant, and politically incorrect. There was no cable TV (because the government didn't want to make it easy to watch the Arab stations) so every apartment had its own collection of antennas. Typical was a 3 meter pole with at least 4 yagis. Multiply that by at least 4 apartments per building and the roof tops looked like an aluminum forest. Those days are gone, we have cable TV, DBS TV and streaming video on the Internet. In the cities the antennas remain, no one wants to pay the money to remove them. Eventually it will be necessary to repair the roofs under them and take them down. We are also supposed to have digital terrestrial TV in a few months, but instead of each station having various programs, there will be multiple channels on the same frequency. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
