“Let’s assume that a person has an old television, one of those potbellies, they will be able to continue watching television as long as they connect a UHF antenna and a digital signal decoder to the equipment,” he explained and recommended that the antenna be preferably oriented towards the solar nose.
Likewise, he warned that said decoder does not require monthly or annual payment for any type of service, since this does not work like the service offered by cable companies.
“For modern televisions, you only need the UHF antenna because these devices already come with a built-in digital signal decoder,” he reported and indicated that these televisions can also work with a rabbit antenna, but it has its limitations,” he added and explained that the People who hire the cable operator today will not be affected.
