9 best indoor tv aerial

An indoor TV aerial, often referred to as an indoor TV antenna or indoor antenna, is a device designed to receive over-the-air television signals for viewing on a television set. Unlike traditional outdoor TV antennas, which are mounted outside and receive signals from broadcast towers, indoor TV aerials are placed inside homes or buildings and are generally used in areas with good signal reception. Here are some key points related to indoor TV aerials:

  1. Purpose: Indoor TV aerials are used to capture broadcast television signals from local TV stations. They enable viewers to access free-to-air television channels without the need for a cable or satellite subscription.

  2. Types:

    • Flat Antennas: These are thin, lightweight antennas designed to be inconspicuous and easy to install. They are often attached to walls or windows.
    • Rabbit Ear Antennas: These antennas have extendable "ears" or rods that can be adjusted to improve signal reception.
    • Loop Antennas: Loop antennas consist of a circular loop or loops of wire and are designed to be positioned upright or horizontally.
  3. Placement: The placement of an indoor TV aerial is crucial for signal reception. It's typically recommended to position the antenna near a window or on an exterior wall facing the broadcast towers for the best signal quality.

  4. Signal Strength: The effectiveness of an indoor TV aerial can vary depending on factors like the distance from broadcast towers, local terrain, and nearby obstacles like buildings or trees. In areas with strong signals, indoor antennas often work well, but in areas with weak signals, an outdoor antenna may be necessary.

  5. Amplified vs. Non-Amplified: Some indoor TV antennas come with built-in signal amplifiers to boost weak signals. Amplified antennas are especially useful in areas with marginal signal reception.

  6. Channels Received: The number and quality of channels received by an indoor TV aerial can vary. In urban areas with good signal coverage, users may receive a wide range of channels, including major networks and local stations. In remote areas, the channel selection may be limited.

  7. Compatibility: Indoor TV antennas are typically compatible with modern digital television standards, including ATSC (North America) and DVB-T (Europe). They can be used with both older CRT TVs and newer digital flat-screen TVs.

  8. Installation: Most indoor TV antennas are easy to install and do not require professional assistance. They come with instructions on positioning and connecting to the TV.

  9. Cost: The cost of indoor TV aerials varies depending on the type, brand, and features. Basic models are usually affordable, while more advanced and amplified antennas may be pricier.

  10. Maintenance: Indoor TV antennas require minimal maintenance.Occasionally, users may need to adjust the antenna's position to optimize signal reception.

Indoor TV aerials are a convenient solution for viewers who want to access free-to-air television channels without a cable or satellite subscription. Their effectiveness depends on various factors, so users should consider their specific location and signal conditions when choosing an indoor antenna.

The Endless River represents a return to the creative principles that informed the writing process that produced Pink Floyd classics like Echoes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Animals.



In early 1993, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright set up their equipment in their own Britannia Row Studios in Islington and created more than hundred pieces of music by jamming together, interacting with each other's performances and recording the results.



They then honed the pieces at David's Astoria floating studio, played them live for 2 days at Olympic Studios in Barnes with an extended lineup (Guy Pratt on bass, Jon Carin on keyboards and Gary Wallis on percussion). After that, the core trio returned to Astoria, and worked further on the compositions, alongside co-producer Bob Ezrin, refining the structure, tempos and arrangements. The result, after lyrics and vocals were added, was the 12 million selling 'Division Bell' album.



At the time, there had been talk of a separate ambient album being created from the non-vocal tracks not subsequently issued on 'The Division Bell', but the idea was eventually dropped.



In 2014 David Gilmour and Nick Mason re-entered the studio and, starting with unreleased keyboard performances by Richard Wright, who sadly died in 2008, added further instrumentation to the tracks, as well as creating new material. The result is The Endless River, including 60% of recordings other than the 1993 sessions, but based upon them. The title is a further link, '... the endless river...' being part of the closing phrases of High Hopes, the final song of the previous Pink Floyd album.



David Gilmour describes the record as follows: "The Endless River has as its starting point the music that came from the 1993 Division Bell sessions. We listened to over 20 hours of the three of us playing together and selected the music we wanted to work on for the new album. Over the last year we've added new parts, re-recorded others and generally harnessed studio technology to make a 21st century Pink Floyd album. With Rick gone, and with him the chance of ever doing it again, it feels right that these revisited and reworked tracks should be made available as part of our repertoire."



Stylistically, The Endless River includes all of the musical elements that characterize Pink Floyd: mellifluous keyboards, jazz-tinged drums, musique concrete, ethereal vocals, and distinctive, emotional lead guitar. As well as Pink Floyd's trademark backing vocals, there is one vocal track, with lyrics by author Polly Samson, who also contributed to The Division Bell.
