The antenna is the "signal receiver" for
television. Most modern TV antennas
receive both VHF (Very High
Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High
Frequency) channels. Channels 2-13 are
VHF channels, and channels 14-69 are
UHF channels.

In most situations you will get better
picture and sound quality if you use an
outdoor antenna or connect your TV to a
cable-TV system.
Cable-TV (CATV) supplies television
signals directly by cable without the
need for a home antenna. Cable-TV
delivers both VHF and UHF channels
and other channels not available from
your antenna.
Shown below are two basic types of
antenna cables. Signals from a home
antenna may be conducted through either
type. Cable-TV signals, however, are
always conducted through round,
75-ohm coaxial cable.
