Antennas
Are you Digital Ready?
Older homes may only have the antenna set to only be suitable to Analog reception & may have flat ribbon cable. This cable has been superseded with coaxial cable & the antenna should be replaced with a new Digital & Analog Antenna.
There are a number of reasons as to why an antenna may not work correctly or stop working all together. Various parts of the antenna may become brittle over time or be damaged in high winds or storms. Pigeons or parrots may chew on the antenna or cables. Lots of rain or large amounts of water can cause corrosion in the balun & cables may become worn over time. For the best reception, your antenna & cables should be in good working order.
