A DVB-T antenna is a device designed to receive or transmit airborne TV and radio broadcasting, while a satellite dish is a satellite antenna used to route the signal from the satellite into the converter. The signal eventually ends up in the satellite receiver, where it’s converted into digital image and sound. You can choose from a broad range of TV antennas of all types from such manufacturers as Hama, Thomson, Fuba, TechniSat, and others.

DVB-T antennas
DVB-T antennas are divided into outdoor antennas, which are mounted to the roof or a mast, and indoor antennas. An indoor antenna is suitable for households with sufficient DVB-T signal coverage. If the antenna is a long distance away from the transmitter, we recommended buying a TV antenna with an amplifier. To sum it up, when choosing a DVB-T antenna, take the signal strength in your area into account.
Satellite dish
A satellite dish is a dish-shaped parabolic antenna that receives signals from satellites and routes them into the converter. The general rule is that larger dishes are better at catching satellite signals, so a sufficiently large dish can receive signals even from distant satellites, whose signal at the receiving location is rather weak otherwise. Dishes are usually made of iron or aluminium. Aluminium dishes are lighter and immune to corrosion, while iron dishes are cheaper, but can rust if exposed to elements. A dish should be mounted on a bracket or pole.
