    Good day. Some time ago I bought a room antenna for a TV with a DVB-T receiver. I catch 23 channels there, but that's enough for me. The problem arose when moving house, where I can't put this system anywhere, because I have a problem with reception. I know that a room antenna is not the best solution, but for now I can only afford such a thing (I live in a dorm).

    The problem is that the antenna has a very short cable and I have no room for maneuver. I would like to extend it. Is there any way I read something about "F" connectors, but I don't know if it will work :) Please answer, I will be grateful :)

    You can extend using an ordinary antenna cable.

    will everything be fine? won't you fuck the picture? :P


    As for the 2nd method, that's what I thought, but I don't know if it's better to buy this antenna cable than to play in cutting insulation, etc. :P

    The second method is more reliable.

    The ready ones are unfortunately trash. You can sometimes be surprised, which made the reception worse.

    I have already ordered this plug / socket cable. If it doesn't run fast, can I cut it and buy these "f-kes" for this cable?

    It would be cheaper to buy everything on the spot and turn it, but it should be too late, it should be Ok, though in a worse and probably more expensive version :D

    No. This cable is usually the culprit. Buy a coaxial cable.
    F-ks are bought according to the cable.

    Okay, I understand that the mean in each concentric is different. Approx. So how does such a coaxial cable work. Normally I connect it to the TV and in the end I have this "tip"? :P Does it work better than a room antenna? I don't know anything about it, but I know that once a homie probably had one connected to the TV and tied around a radiator and it worked :P

    Are you writing about extending the cable to the room antenna, then what tip should work better than the antenna?

    This cable does NOT WORK better according to your reasoning, it doesn't receive a signal! It is only a medium that transmits the signal received by the antenna to the TV. In contrast, a bad concentrator can strongly weaken the signal reaching the TV. Hence, colleagues advise to buy a good cable and "earn" it correctly, i.e. put on the plugs. You must be careful that the braid does not touch the middle wire. On the net you will find many instructions on how to set up "F-ki". In order for the cable to match TV and antenna cable, you must attach the adapters shown in the second photo of post No. 3
