Best Directional DVB-T Antenna: Q100 vs Alternatives, Signal Reliability & Satellite TV Advice

Question

Hello, can anyone say if such a directional DVB-T antenna can reliably receive the signal? I urgently need to buy an antenna and I have no one to advise on, I don't know anyone who will deal with satellite TV issues ... the first thing that caught my eye on the net is this antenna. If...

Hello. I suggest something like this.

Very good choice, the place of receipt is?

_kli_ · Answer

What TV do you want to pick up? However, if terrestrial, it is still cheaper alternative . Well, but a lot depends on where you pick up.

Dude, what do you want to receive ... TV, satellite or both? First and second: to choose the right equipment ( antenna as well ) to the conditions of the location and the requirements of the entire installation it is necessary giving the exact location of the antenna assembly - address or coordinates, and place of assembly - roof, wall, balcony ... floor / floor and, if it is an extensive installation, the number of TV sets and approximate lengths of cables.

It's like this depending on the VHF polarization On UHF long and VHF only dipole?

TELMOR_PL · Answer

The proposals can be different, the choice on the market is very rich. Still, we know nothing about the location and type of the installation itself. Under favorable conditions, a piece of the proverbial wire may be enough.

LeDy · Answer

And as always you wade, write to be on yours. I wrote what it makes sense to recommend a UHF antenna for a long distance and a short distance to VHF. The powers are similar.

TELMOR_PL · Answer

This is not about mine but about helping the Author and we will not come up with anything reasonable until we have basic information about the installation. We can at best argue ... but nothing forward.

So where is the pickup point? Further insisting on superiority over anything will result in writers' blockades. This is not Nowogrodzka. We are waiting for the author's info ...

Gdańsk, suburbs. The antenna should be on the roof of the house.

Gdynia transmitter Mux1-k 37 horizontal Mux2-k 35 level Mux3-k 48 horizontal Mux8-k 6 vertical At such a distance of 17km antenna

TELMOR_PL · Answer

Gdańsk suburbs - covers the area from Chwaszczyna itself, through Banino, Matarnia, Żukowo, Kolbudy, Kowale to Przejazdowo. This location is not precise enough. Pruszcz Gdański is also a suburb of Gdańsk. Also sometimes hilly. Maybe something more specific - address or coordinates ... where the antenna (roof, balcony, wall) will be mounted, which floor, how much power it will supply to the TV sets, some obstacles on the way to the transmitter ...

JaroK87 · Answer

My parents live in the Zaroślak housing estate, these are the suburbs of Gdańsk and the antenna of the type asked by the author is fine. There are no problems with the signal. Anyway, the EXACT location would say more, because suburbs is too general a concept.

irekr · Answer

Let's not forget to Jaśkowa Kopie and EC .....

TELMOR_PL · Answer

A bushing is a specific place when it comes to receiving, basically from any transmitter.
Both Chwaszczyno and Jaśkowa Kopa (only MUX-3 lighting) are obstructed by a large Biskupia Górka, located "behind" almost behind residential buildings and towering over them a lot. Reception from Chwaszczyna and Jaśkowa is practically impossible, except from reflections. A directional antenna without a proper device is rather difficult to hit the right and reflected beam.

irekr · Answer

Some time ago I fought on Spadzista, balcony from the side of the tracks, 5th floor I think ...
The long and passive antenna that remained after the reception of analog Polsat, put on Jagodnik, channels 43, 25, and 26. Strength was about 30%, quality about 90% and stable.
There was no MUX8 then, it is broadcast from Jagodnik on the same channel as from Chwaszczyna, but in horizontal polarization.
I remember that on clear days Jagodnik shone beautifully on the horizon.

TELMOR_PL · Answer

It is almost 60 km to Jagodnik from Spadzista. It had to be a good "barrel" since as passive it managed with these 10/10/10 powers. But the view could have been beautiful like Chwaszczyna from Wierzyca.
The location of the streets on Zaroślak is extremely unfavorable to receive and either Jagodnik with a solid antenna or antenna with a wider angle of view capable of catching signals from reflections. Only that in the east and north-east direction is not very much from what. There are no potential larger objects and the area is flat.
Well, but you have to try, preferably with the right tool.

That's exactly Żukowo. I will order today the one I wrote about, I talked to one specialist (I hope ) and claimed that there would be no problems, in case I could send her back. Thanks for so many answers.

TELMOR_PL · Answer

Then throw a stone's throw. If there were problems, I suggest one of those below. There will be no problems with them (and the factory in Gdańsk): or
