Antenna
Watching NFL games on an antenna is easy if you live in an area where you can get a clear signal. There are a few things you need to know, though, before you can start watching.
First, you’ll need to find an antenna that’s compatible with your TV. If you have a digital TV, you can use a regular old rabbit ears style antenna. If you have an analog TV, you’ll need to get a digital converter box. Once you have the right antenna, simply hook it up to your TV and tune in to the appropriate channel.
In some areas, you may be able to get a clear signal from an antenna on your roof. If this is the case, it’s often best to invest in a good quality outdoor antenna. These antennas are designed to pick up signals from long distances, so they’ll be able to give you a clear picture even if you live far from the broadcast towers.
Once you have your antenna set up, make sure it’s positioned properly. The goal is to get the best possible signal, so experiment with different placement until you find what works best for your situation.
