Title: Antennas for TVs with built-in ISBD-T tuners
Post by: Adarna on Dec 20, 2018 at 12:08 AM

I just bought a LG C8 OLED TV that has a built-in ISBD-T tuner. What sort of antenna do I need to get to get free over the area digital TV signals?

I would prefer not to get a digital box like TV Plus as I want LG's software to control channel changes.

I was thinking of getting this from Amazon

As with many antennae, you will need to figure out whether you need something that:

• needs a long coax cable
• has a high-gain antenna (if the isdb signal is weak in the house/area)
• can be used both indoor and outdoor
• needs an amplifier to get a clear signal
• can attach itself to the tv
• is pet- and child-proof

I suggest you do a quick search in Lazada (or Shopee) for "digital antenna" and then just pick whatever you think works for you. :)

Generally speaking, any antenna with about 16db should be ok for most people.
