The flat design maximises surface area, with a total 120 square-inch of area for signal to be picked up. This can provide more reliable reception than a traditional pole antenna. The aerial also has an innate gain of 5dBi to aid in reception of Freeview and Freeview HD channels or other DVB-T and DVB-T2 networks. The DTA455 can be stood upright or wall-mounted. It provides 5dB of gain and a large surface area, perfect for placing in a window for maximum reception potential. The antenna operates entirely with a coaxial cable, requiring no power supply. It connects to coaxial ports on TVs, Set Top Boxes, and USB TV Tuners. Factors such as the distance to the transmitter and obstructions like thick brick walls can still cause interference in certain locations.
This guide is for anyone looking to improve their TV signal reception using the August DTA455 antenna. It offers a simple, effective way to receive Freeview and Freeview HD channels. The antenna's large surface area and 5dBi gain are designed to maximize signal capture, however, factors such as distance to the transmitter and obstructions can still cause interference.
