Best inexpensive terrestrial antennas for summer cottages

The first collection of our review will be devoted to antennas that can be bought at a minimal price, and they will be enough to receive a signal. Here we will immediately clarify that such models are mostly suitable for areas of confident signal reception, where television works almost from a bare wire. Their low price does not mean that the antennas are of poor quality – they just have a more simplified design and for the most part do not contain active elements.

Hereinafter, we will consider only outdoor, outdoor antennas, despite the fact that many summer cottages in the vicinity of large cities are in the zone of a powerful signal sufficient to pick it up with a small indoor antenna.

REMO BAS-1111-P Pechora

Rating: 4.7

REMO BAS-1111-P Pechora

Let's start with the cheapest and uncomplicated antenna in our review. This is 'Pechora' from the BAS-1111-P series produced by REMO – Saratov Electromechanical Plant. This particular modification is a passive type, without an amplifier, noise suppressor and other electronics, that is, 'pure metal'. The recommended distance to the transmitter is no more than 20 km.

Antenna dimensions are 67x31x5cm, weight – 0.6kg. The working range is UHF (Ultra High Frequency, that is, ultra-high frequencies (UHF). Hereinafter, this means the range of electromagnetic waves from 1 m to 10 cm of wavelength and, accordingly, the frequency from 300 MHz to 3GHz. Further in such technical nuances, we will not deepen, only as an exception.

The antenna is designed to receive channels of DVB-T / DVB-T2 standards (the first and second generation of European digital terrestrial television standards). The antenna itself in passive reception mode is capable of amplifying the VHF signal up to 9dB. Characteristic impedance – 75 Ohm.

In addition to the digital signal, the antenna, of course, can also receive an analogue one, but since in Russia analogue television has recently been completely abolished as morally obsolete, we will no longer mention this function of the models reviewed below.

Due to the minimal price, this heading does not include any accessories for external mounting of the antenna, or even for its connection to a TV receiver. SAT-SH plug, F-connector, coaxial cable, mast, signal dividers and other accessories will need to be purchased separately.

The metal parts of the antenna body are coated with a polymer coating that protects against natural factors and can significantly extend its service life.

The official factory warranty for this model is 12 months.

Advantages

  • simple and reliable;
  • lightweight (made of aluminum);
  • protective polymer coating;
  • the cheapest;
  • year warranty from the factory.

disadvantages

  • poor equipment.

REMO BAS-1158-P Orbit-12

Rating: 4.6

REMO BAS-1158-P Orbit-12

This part of the review is continued by another antenna of the Saratov plant REMO. It is twice as expensive as the previous one, but only because of the prohibitive cheapness of Pechora, and not its own high cost. You can buy it without any problems in Russia for about 500 rubles.

Like the previous model, this antenna is designed for outdoor installation and reception of an analog signal in decimeter waves and digital television of the DVB-T2 standard. Antenna of a passive type, has no electronics like an amplifier or a noise suppressor, which means it is much less susceptible to failure due to interference from nearby lightning discharges, the influence of rain, snow, etc. Supports full backward compatibility with tuners and receivers of previous generations of DVB -T.

The antenna is made of aluminum with a thin polymer coating. It has no special shock-resistant packaging, it is packed simply in a plastic case. Antenna dimensions – 60x34x36cm, weight – 1kg.

The technical parameters of this model are almost similar to the previous one – the wave impedance is 75 Ohm, the recommended distance to the TV center or repeater is no more than 20 km. However, with all the similarity of the indicators, the shape of the antenna is somewhat different, the area of ​​the reflectors is slightly larger, and due to this, it has a slightly greater ability to amplify the signal itself – 12 dB versus 9 dB for the above model.

The factory warranty from REMO for this model is also 12 months, like the previous version.

Advantages

  • simple and reliable;
  • lightweight (made of aluminum);
  • increased signal gain;
  • polymer coating of aluminum parts;
  • one year factory warranty.

disadvantages

  • poor equipment.

Hyundai H-TAE140

Rating: 4.5

Hyundai H-TAE140

Now consider a simple and inexpensive trademark antenna that will immediately grab the attention of magazine readers. It is indeed Hyundai, but the antenna is made under license from a South Korean company by the Chinese company Topstar Electronics. There is no catch in this, this is normal practice.

The H-TAE140 is designed, like the previous two antennas, to receive an analog VHF signal and digital according to the European DVB-T standard and the newer DVB-T2. The operating frequency range for this model is from 470 to 862 MHz. The created resistance is 75 ohms. The ability to amplify the signal – up to 11dB according to the passport and up to 12dB according to the test results.

The antenna is made of aluminum, supplied unassembled with instructions and a set of fasteners for mounting. Antenna length – 740mm. The scope of delivery includes a sturdy rainproof and waterproof cap.

As in the two models described above, there are completely no means of connecting the antenna to the actual television receiver or distributor. Not only is there no cable, but even plugs, no connectors.

Advantages

  • confident reception of analog and digital signals in the specified range;
  • made under license Hyundai;
  • quality materials;
  • there is a mounting kit included;
  • waterproof cap;
  • own signal amplification up to 11 dB.

disadvantages

  • no connection kit.

Locus Meridian 07AF Turbo

Rating: 4.4

Locus Meridian 07AF Turbo

According to the magazine, the only model in this group that is equipped with an amplifier will complete the first selection of the most inexpensive antennas for summer cottages. In most of the Russian trading floors, it is significantly more expensive (quite naturally) of the previous options, but if you do a targeted search, you can find it at a price comparable to the above models.

Antenna dimensions – 333x60x501. Made of aluminum with plastic edge caps. As you can see, it is quite compact, large rear reflectors are not provided here, the main disadvantages of a weak and unstable signal will be taken over by a standard amplifier.

The antenna noise figure is 0.7dB. It was originally designed to receive a signal within the DVB-T / DVB-T2 standards, that is, for digital terrestrial television. The ability to amplify the signal in the VHF range is 30dB. The amplifier is powered by a 5V power supply.

According to the test results and the massive feedback from users, the antenna has proven itself perfectly even at very remote distances. So, at a distance of 40-50 km from a television center or repeater, you don't have to worry about receiving dozens of television channels. Of course, the amplifier plays a significant role here, but the antenna design itself also matters. So, for example, with an amplifier of a similar power at the same ranges, the Locus Meridian 07AF Turbo is in no way inferior to much more expensive one and a half meter antennas.

Official manufacturer's warranty – 12 months.

Advantages

  • compact and lightweight;
  • end caps on the edges;
  • one of the best combinations of sizes and reliable signal reception;
  • 'range';
  • with an amplifier.

disadvantages

  • some users have difficulty connecting the amplifier power supply.

The best passive terrestrial antennas for giving

The second selection in the ranking of the best antennas for summer cottages according to the magazine represents not necessarily the cheapest models, but still relatively inexpensive due to their passive form factor. By passivity here, as mentioned above, I mean the absence of auxiliary electronics – an amplifier, a noise suppressor and other additions. Such antennas are completely suitable for areas of reliable signal reception, and if the dacha is located not far from the TV center or repeater, and even more so in the line of sight of the tower, then it may not make sense to overpay for additional functions.

Hyundai H-TAE220

Rating: 4.9

Hyundai H-TAE220

First, consider the compact external antenna, which is the closest relative of the H-TAE140 described in the previous group. It is also produced by the Chinese company Topstar Electronics.

The antenna design is made of aluminum with a thin polymer coating, that is, it is not afraid of an aggressive environment. At the rear is an elementary but well-thought-out reflector that contributes to reliable signal reception.

The antenna is extremely compact, the tip is slightly larger than the reflector 'blade'. But due to the well thought-out design, even such a 'semi-room' version provides good and stable signal reception. Designed for UHF (UHF) wavelength range from 470 to 862 MHz. It can receive both analog and digital signals, but in the vast majority of cases it is used for terrestrial digital television in the framework of DVB-T / DVB-T2 standards.

The antenna's own outgoing impedance is 75 ohms. By itself, it is capable of amplifying the broadcast signal within 15dB.

Antenna package includes only a waterproof cap. There are no plugs and cables included, only fasteners. In this regard, this model is almost identical to the H-TAE140. But it is just as extremely simple to install, assembled in a matter of minutes, and the mount serves for many years.

Advantages

  • compact;
  • lightweight;
  • effective reflector;
  • “long-range”;
  • easy installation;
  • reliable fasteners.

disadvantages

  • equipment.

GoDigital AV 9290

Rating: 4.8

GoDigital AV 9290

The second passive antenna in this collection is also Russian-made, only with a more sonorous brand – GoDigital, model AV 9290. The GoDigital trademark is Russian, and the products are mostly made in China. In addition to antennas, the assortment also includes accessories – cables, plugs and more.

The AV 9290 from GoDigital is a UHF outdoor antenna designed for receiving VHF signals, analog and digital, and in the context of modern television systems – for DVB-T2.

The key specifications are as follows. The operating range of receiving frequencies is from 470 to 790 MHz. These are, of course, conventional numbers, meaning that in this range the signal reception is the most confident. Beam width – 24 gr. The most common characteristic impedance value for this type of antenna is 75 Ohm.

The antenna itself is capable of amplifying the signal by a maximum of 11 dB. Its receiving capabilities are comparable to a radius of up to 50 km from a television center or repeater with direct line of sight or with minimal interference. When placed in a low-lying area or in the presence of distinct obstacles (tall buildings, elevators), it would be better to look for another antenna, or the same one, but with an amplifier.

The above signal reception radius is estimated and calculated based on the conditional power of the transmitting station of 5 kW.

As far as the physical characteristics of the antenna are concerned, there is little criticism. The construction is made of aluminum, the parts are firmly in place, and the antenna can function without problems in very difficult weather conditions. The dimensions of the assembled antenna are 95x25x25cm, the weight in the package is 655g. The packaging itself is solid, cardboard and safe enough for shipment. The mounting kit allows you to easily change the antenna polarization from horizontal to vertical and vice versa. It is connected to the TV set via a standard F-connector.

Advantages

  • sturdy construction;
  • wide reflector;
  • relatively large radius of action;
  • easy assembly and installation;
  • withstands severe weather conditions.

disadvantages

  • equipment.

Selenga 131F

Rating: 4.7

Selenga 131F

The review is continued by another high-quality and well-thought-out from an engineering point of view antenna of the Russian specialized trade mark Selenga, namely, a passive model 131F without an amplifier.

This antenna already attracts with its appearance, but it is obvious that all these structural elements are not made for beauty. Selenga 131F from several functional modules. The central axis consists of three central rods with eight transverse ribs each. The ribs have polymer plugs on both sides; in general, the antenna is well protected by plastic elements in the most vulnerable places and can withstand significant wind loads. The only thing that raises doubts is the thickness of the main aluminum rod, and hence its strength, but there have been no specific complaints from users about the scrapping of this part in the wind.

Selenga 131F is designed to receive a decimeter signal in the range from 470 to 860 MHz. Connects to a TV receiver (receiver, tuner) via a standard F-plug. The total length of the antenna is 123cm.

According to the official factory data, the Selenga 131F is capable of amplifying the signal within 18dB by itself.

The scope of delivery of this model includes all the fasteners necessary for a reliable and durable installation. Moreover, the screws are with 'wings', so that during installation you may not even need a wrench or any similar device, and you can easily screw the mount by hand.

According to the test results, the Selenga 131F antenna confidently receives a signal for digital TV T2 tens of kilometers from the Ostankino TV tower. From less powerful repeaters in other regions of Russia, in the absence of physical barriers, the radius of the zone of reliable reception can also be 20, 30 or more kilometers without an amplifier. In a lowland, an amplifier may be needed to receive all, not just part of the channels of terrestrial digital television and even radio.

Advantages

  • sturdy foldable design;
  • simple and convenient assembly;
  • tight waterproof plugs on all vulnerable parts;
  • large reflector (potential increased signal amplification);
  • resistance to harsh natural factors;
  • much more powerful than many other passive models.

disadvantages

  • thin metal of the main rod.

LUMAX DA2505P

Rating: 4.6

LUMAX DA2505P

And the selection of passive models without an amplifier for reviewing the best antennas for summer cottages according to the version is completed by an interesting model, which is in many ways similar to the previous one. This is not so much a borrowing as a consequence of the natural course of engineering thought in the direction of successful solutions.

The antenna is slightly larger than the previous one, similar in shape – 540x1030x550mm, quite massive – 1940. It is also made of polished aluminum, only this time it is thicker and stronger, so that the structure on the mast will withstand wind loads confidently.

The LUMAX DA2505P is built on the principle of a potential-free antenna. This refers to the galvanic connection of all directors to the support bar. The fastening of the directors is extremely reliable – using a screw connection with a ribbed notch. This allows you to operate the antenna fixed outside for many years at temperature differences from -40 to +50 degrees Celsius without any temperature movements of the mount.

All vulnerable parts of the antenna are protected by plugs and caps made of durable ABS plastic, which easily withstands exactly the same ambient temperature range as indicated above. The tilt angle in this model is not rigidly fixed and can be changed.

Some special characteristics are worth mentioning separately. This model is optimized for frequency response for the range from 470 to 862 MHz. Signal attenuation in the broadcast range of LTE transmitters – no more than 9.8 dB. Antenna's own signal gain can vary from 10.5dB for 471MHz to 14.9dB for 855MHz. The standing wave ratio is less than or equal to 1.5. The beam width is 40 degrees. Own resistance – 75 ohms.

Advantages

  • confident signal reception within the specified framework;
  • quality of materials;
  • well thought out design;
  • simple and convenient assembly;
  • variable angle of inclination;
  • attractive appearance;
  • plastic protection in vulnerable areas.

disadvantages

  • no fundamental flaws were found.

The best active terrestrial antennas for giving

The third category in the magazine's review of the best antennas for summer cottages presents much more powerful solutions – active antennas. They are actually antennas with electronic modules, which, in turn, can act as an amplifier, noise suppressor, filter, or all together. In fact, an active antenna is a set consisting of the antenna itself and accompanying electronics. But often amplifiers and other blocks are attached to the metal frame of the antenna 'tightly', and it is impossible or extremely difficult to replace them. This is done for many reasons, including the purpose of protecting the electronic 'filling' from precipitation and subsequent failure. Nevertheless, there are enough antenna models on the market where an amplifier or other electronic unit can be easily replaced with any other suitable one.

Finally, the main thing is that active antennas are used where conventional passive antennas are not enough for reliable and stable signal reception. These can be areas that are very remote from the transmitting station, the low power of this very station, the presence of physical barriers to the signal reception line, the location of the dacha in the lowlands, and the like.

Locus Meridian-60AF Turbo

Rating: 4.9

Locus Meridian-60AF Turbo

We begin this part of our review with the Meridian-60AF Turbo antenna of the Locus trademark. This is a pretty powerful active antenna by itself, even without regard to the amplifying electronics. The main material is polished aluminum. Connects to the receiver via a standard F-connector. The main sphere of use is the reception of dozens of television channels in the DVB-T / T2 standards.

Antenna dimensions – 50x55x132cm, weight – 1.5 kg. Composite construction with wide reflectors at the rear, consisting of a total of 60 elements. The antenna is designed to receive a signal in the range from 470 to 790 MHz, which is conditional and corresponds to channels 21 to 60. Standing wave ratio – 1.8. Characteristic impedance standard for this type of antenna is 75 ohms.

The antenna is equipped with a patented balanced amplifier. In its pure form, it allows you to additionally amplify the signal by another 3dB in comparison with conventional amplifiers, which are often equipped with T2 antennas for the mass consumer. At first glance, the 3dB value may not look very impressive, but in fact the difference is very significant, and such an amplifier allows you to significantly expand the radius of confident reception and the stability of the 'picture'.

In absolute terms, the gain of the standard amplifier is at least 31 or 36 dB, depending on the installation conditions. The noise figure is 0.7dB. The amplifier needs a 5V supply with a current of about 40mA to operate. But the power supply unit is not included in the delivery set of Locus Meridian-60AF Turbo. This solution is not entirely clear from all points of view, but it must be borne in mind when ordering this kit.

Additional information – the manufacturer recommends using the LI series power injector when operating the finished assembly.

Advantages

  • quality of materials;
  • strong build;
  • thoughtful design;
  • confident signal reception;
  • high quality and efficient standard amplifier.

disadvantages

  • power supply is not included in the package.

GoDigital AV 6520

Rating: 4.8

GoDigital AV 6520

The second number in this collection, we present you with the brand name antenna, which was already mentioned above. This time it will be the most powerful active type antenna in the GoDigital range – the AV 6520 model.

Like all the previous ones, this antenna is designed for outdoor installation and reception of terrestrial digital TV signal of the European DVB-T / T2 standard. This means active equipment with a built-in powerful low-noise amplifier. The amplifier requires a separate 5V power supply, and the power supply is not included in the package.

Structurally, the AV 6520 is a rather massive triplex antenna with three traverses. The main material is lightweight and durable aluminum with plastic protective caps in vulnerable areas. This combination provides stability under natural stress and durability of the structure.

The assembled antenna housing contains directors, a loop vibrator and two reflector sheets. Largely due to massive reflectors, the antenna is able to receive a signal in difficult geographic conditions, where forest, hilly terrain, mountains, and tall buildings interfere with line of sight.

In active mode, with an amplifier connected and a tuned signal, the range can reach 120 km. The gain in combination with the amplifier is 44dB.

The antenna is delivered unassembled in a compact box. Assembly of all elements is extremely convenient thanks to the 'grip' shape of the screws and the precisely matched connections.

Advantages

  • fast and easy assembly;
  • sturdy and reliable construction;
  • confident and stable signal reception;
  • range of signal reception up to 120 km;
  • the most powerful in the GoDigital line;
  • the ability to receive signals well in lowlands and other difficult conditions.

GAL Super-summer resident

Rating: 4.7

GAL Super-summer resident

The next antenna in the review of the best options for 2020 according to the version, even in its name, contains a hint of the right choice. This is an all-wave antenna GAL Super-summer resident, which combines the capabilities of antennas of different specializations, and according to its capabilities, it is able to literally 'save' a resident of a private house, around which, in a short time, high-rise buildings were suddenly built. Manufactured in China.

The antenna structure is made of steel. A protective polymer coating has been applied, which significantly increases resistance to climatic factors, and hence durability. Overall dimensions of the structure – 18x10x3.2cm, weight – 2500g. Supplied in a package with dimensions of 0.085×0.675×0.27m. Total weight with packaging – 3kg.

Advantages

  • durable steel construction;
  • protective covering;
  • wide range coverage;
  • power adapter included;
  • TV cable 6 meters included;
  • official guarantee 6 months.

disadvantages

  • not marked.

The best satellite dishes (kits) for giving

The fourth and final selection of the best antennas for summer cottages in 2020, according to the magazine, is devoted to satellite television sets. This is a good solution even for those areas where it is possible to install DVB-T2 digital television receiving equipment, since the European standard does not cover all TV channels that may be of interest to the user. For the same zones where there is no T2 signal corny, a satellite dish with a corresponding package from the operator will be the only option for a home multichannel digital television device.

Tricolor TV

Rating: 4.9

Tricolor TV

And the first in this collection will consider the offer of the Tricolor TV company. Hereinafter, an antenna will mean a parabolic dish for receiving a signal from a satellite. And we will also understand that the antenna itself is useless in the context of satellite TV operators – we need additional equipment and a tariff plan. In this vein, we will review the three most popular Russian satellite TV operators.

And another clarification – “Tricolor TV”, as well as other operators provide services not only satellite television, but much more, for example, the Internet or cellular communications. But in the framework of this review, we will focus on television.

The equipment that Tricolor TV representatives install for a new subscriber is mostly manufactured in Russia and is least affected by fluctuations in the ruble exchange rate and all kinds of shocks on world stock exchanges. This is one of the main reasons that Tricolor TV, even after the price increase, remains the most inexpensive among the satellite TV heavyweights.

As of March 2020, the company offers 5 options for satellite TV kits:

  1. option with a UHD receiver – provides the ability to view channels in ultra-high 4K quality and Tricolor's own interactive services – pause, rewind, rewind, save the program archive for a week.
  2. option for two TVs – you can watch hundreds of TV channels on two TV sets with all the above-described Tricolor service capabilities.
  3. version with HD-receiver – everything is the same as for version with UHD-receiver, but only the resolution of the 'picture' will be lower, and the monthly fee is lower. For those who have a TV that does not support 4K resolution, this is the best and most rational option.
  4. a specialized version with an HD receiver and a 500GB hard drive; all the above-described Tricolor service functions apply. Hard disk – external.
  5. option for TVs with a CI + connector – means connecting a parabolic antenna and watching programs in UHD quality without a separate receiver.

An important point is that most of the federal Russian channels are provided free of charge within any of the services.

The installation of Tricolor TV equipment is often carried out by the company's employees, but if you wish, you can install such a kit yourself. With less specialized skills, this shouldn't be a problem.

Advantages

  • low rates;
  • hundreds of programs;
  • Russian federal channels – free;
  • the ability to connect without a separate receiver if you have an appropriate TV;
  • set of service functions;
  • sufficiently high quality of broadcasts.

disadvantages

  • may not be too delicate to impose new digital equipment instead of working and compatible old ones.

NTV-Plus

Rating: 4.8

NTV-Plus

Another super popular Russian satellite TV operator is NTV-Plus. It, just like Tricolor TV, provides the subscriber with equipment for connecting and receiving television channels, including a satellite dish, a tuner and all the necessary accessories.

It is even easier for an ordinary user to understand the services of NTV-Plus. As of March 2020, NTV-Plus provides two types of package services: Economy package and Basic. The first one includes 76 channels, including several federal ones, TNT, MATCH! other. The second one is already much more expanded, and includes 187 channels. But the list of available channels within the NTV-Plus offer is not limited to package offers alone. If you wish, you can connect any thematic packages of TV channels for an additional fee for every taste. The Economy package will need to be connected for at least one year, but its price is more than affordable – in March 2020 – 750 rubles per year.

As with the previous operator, the entire service part is fully operational in NTV-Plus – program pause, rewind, archive and so on. your favorite shows can be watched via the satellite platform on any other device, including smartphones and tablets.

Advantages

  • affordable base rates;
  • flexible approach to connecting paid channels and services;
  • high-quality equipment;
  • set of service functions;
  • sufficiently high quality of broadcasts.

disadvantages

  • paid and not always effective technical assistance.

MTS

Rating: 4.7

MTS

We will conclude our review with another domestic satellite TV provider that provides subscribers with their own parabolic antenna and everything they need to receive hundreds of high-quality TV channels anywhere in the country.

This is where the company conducts a separation of services. So, for example, when connecting to the unlimited Internet service, satellite TV is provided 'automatically'. When ordering satellite TV as a separate service, the user has a flexible choice of the type of equipment. So, for example, you can choose a large parabolic antenna with a diameter of 0.9 meters or a smaller one – 0.6 meters, if the conditions allow you to ensure reliable signal reception from the satellite. Moreover, MTS even enables a potential subscriber to use his own antenna, if he already has one.

As of March 2020, MTS has a basic 'Advanced' service package, which includes 201 digital satellite TV channels, 35 in HD quality and two in Ultra HD 4K. In addition, you can connect any or several of the seven (for March 2020) thematic TV channel packages for a small surcharge per month from 50 rubles (for children) to 380 rubles (Match! Football three channels).

Since MTS is originally a cellular operator, the package of services naturally contains marketing tricks (in a good way) to attract new users with MTS mobile communications, and not just television.

Advantages

  • you can connect a TV with your own antenna;
  • flexible rates and conditions;
  • there are channels in HD quality and 4K;
  • SIM-card for mobile Internet in an appendix at an unlimited tariff.

disadvantages

  • there are difficulties with self-configuration.
