What is the difference between a smart antenna and a regular one?

Hdtv antenna- signal strength vs. quality question.?

  • Our antenna is bringing in 100% signal strength, but 0-7% signal quality. Most of the channels we want to watch aren't watchable. What is the difference between the two and how can we boost the quality? We are so clueless, this is the third antenna we've tried and the only one to bring in the channels we want... but they're not working! Help!

  • Answer:

    This makes not much sense or the specs of the antenna are misleading. HDTV signals are digital, so if you get even 50% strength you should be able to get 100% of the signal. HDTV signals are very sensitive to direction. Your antenna needs to point directly to the transmitter. www.antennaweb.org can help you. It may be that an internal antenna may not be good enough for where you live. In that case, you may need an external - on th eroof -antenna.

If I was you I would call the manufacture and ask them. I have an RCA one on my patio in Dallas and I get around 10 watchable free channels. The way your talking 100% and stuff sounds like your talking dish or such, if so talk to them.
