In most situations you will get better
picture quality if you use an outdoor
antenna or connect your TV to a cable-TV
system. If this is not possible, connect the
indoor antenna supplied with your TV.
Cable-TV delivers both VII 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. Cabte-TV signals, however, are
always conducted through round, 75-ohm
coaxial cable.
