Start with the right antenna.

Pair Tablo with the right antenna for your needs to take your free TV experience to the next level.

Free TV begins with an antenna.

The purpose of a TV antenna is to capture free TV signals broadcast in your area. This includes live access to dozens of channels like ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC and more. By installing a low-cost antenna in your home, you can watch your favorite dramas, comedies, news and sports absolutely free and in HD quality.

Different TV antennas for different needs.

Indoor antenna models

Indoor TV antennas are compact, easy to install and easily blend in with your décor, but they are also less powerful. These antennas are the most practical solution for those who live in urban areas.

Outdoor antenna models

Outdoor TV antennas are much more powerful and can lock in TV channels from further away, but setup can be more involved. Outdoor antennas are ideal for those who live in suburban or rural areas.

TV antenna placement tips.

Know where to point your antenna.

For a strong signal, your TV antenna should face your local broadcast towers.

The Antenna Setup Wizard inside the Tablo app makes this easy, showing you the correct direction to point your antenna.

The higher, the better.

When it comes to getting the best performance from your TV antenna, height matters. If a roof or attic installation isn’t possible, choose an upstairs window.

Find an unobstructed view.

Whether indoors or outdoors, install your TV antenna in a location with clear line-of-sight to your local broadcast towers. Avoid obstructions like trees or buildings.

Trouble with TV antenna reception?

OBSTRUCTIONS

Avoid obstructions that can block TV antenna signals. Trees, mountains, valleys, concrete walls and other obstructions can keep signals from reaching your TV antenna.

INTERFERENCE

Be aware of hidden impacts to your TV signal. Invisible sources of interference from power lines, LED lightbulbs and traffic can hinder antenna reception.

TECHNICAL

Optimize your antenna setup to avoid routine technical problems including signals which are too weak, too strong or too filled with errors to come in clearly.
