The antenna is delivered in a cardboard box with a Quick Start Guide in English and German.
This is quite well translated and easy to understand.
In addition, another F-Adapter coaxial coupling is to F-jack, which can not usually required in Germany.
Commissioning is very simple.
Plug the coaxial cable from the antenna to the TV antenna input and then connect only the power cord to the mains.
The two antennas are each composed of four segments and can be extended up to 75cm in length and move back freely in all directions.
On the back of a gain control is to find the signal to further strengthen. Depending on the location and reception conditions its use is more or less useful because in anyway good reception, the signal can even be rather deteriorated.
For me definitely a fully opening was necessary because we live in the DVB-T Zonenrandgebiet :-)
Since we all have the same problem of only one satellite cable via the separate satellite receivers in our TVs, simultaneously watch and record is not possible.
Because of the different planes of polarization which is not at a normal single-cable solution simply satellite.
It lends itself to an alternative reception via DVB-T, as in the TV's antenna input is previously interrupted.
At our 32 inch Samsung TV, I have a test basis before a homemade antenna from an old coax cable used (is a guide to the Internet available).
The search of these cheap and passive solution brought nine stations, one of which occurred between formation of small blocks at three in good weather.
In bad weather, the reception was generally only a matter of luck.
This antenna 23 channels were found, some double and some regional programs undisplayable Internet programs were present.
Regardless of the weather conditions, I am getting this station now represented almost perfectly.
Only some private programs such as SAT1 or Vox I sometimes block noise when it's overcast or raining.
According to the DVB-T reception forecast from the Internet but we are also the absolute limit of the reception house and would have actually received via roof antenna.
That is why I am very pleased with the reception result.
Of the 4 previously tested Avantek antennas AR53 has delivered the best reception.
The power consumption is 2.2 watts, which corresponds to expected in continuous operation over the year well 3,50 € electricity costs.
I highly recommend this DVB-T antenna of Avantek recommend so.
Since it is also offers the option to future DVB-T2 HDTV with the value for money and perfectly fine.
As significantly more compact alternative is the Avantek AR51, but which has received almost as well with me considerably smaller, making it better accommodate.
I hope this review could assist you in your buying decision ...
