Know before you buy
Yes, the A1 is built with UV-resistant ABS plastic, making it durable enough for outdoor or attic installation. It also includes a compact design and mounting hardware that makes it suitable for indoor placement on a desk or wall.
Absolutely. The A1 is specifically engineered for ATSC 3.0 compatibility, featuring vertical polarization and MIMO support to handle the requirements of next-gen broadcast signals.
Yes, the built-in TForce preamplifier requires power to function. The antenna comes with the necessary power-injecting equipment to ensure your signal remains strong and clear.
The removable reflector allows you to fine-tune the antenna's reception. You can keep it attached to focus the signal from a specific direction or remove it if you need a more omnidirectional reception pattern.
The integrated filter blocks interference from cellular signals, which can often disrupt digital TV broadcasts. This ensures a cleaner signal and helps prevent pixelation or channel loss in areas with heavy cellular traffic.
The 6-foot cable is sufficient for indoor or desk placement. However, if you are mounting the antenna outdoors or in an attic, you may need to purchase a longer coaxial cable to reach your television.
