You will need a real antenna, not amplifier(?) like that. One of the best and easily available antennas in EU are Televes DAT75 and few Triax models. Compare DAT75 and your antenna, DAT75 is 19dB and your is 30dB, guess which one is still 1000x better. You will not likely need that heavy antenna like DAT75 as you still have a signal. Some 10-20 euros 1m long Yagi is enough. regards Antti On 12/18/2012 12:32 AM, Renato Gallo wrote: > is there any kind of filter so that i can filter out the noise and then > amplify the signal ? > > Il 17/12/2012 22:45 Luca Olivetti ha scritto: >> Al 17/12/12 20:57, En/na Renato Gallo ha escrit: >> >>> can i amplify the signal to improve reception ? >> >> an amplifier will amplify the noise as well as the signal (i.e., an >> amplifier is only useful to compensate for the losses in the cable, >> not to improve the signal). >> >>> why with the bowl is better ? >> >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopole_antenna >> >> The bowl acts as a ground plane >> >> Bye > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- http://palosaari.fi/
