An indoor TV antenna is a device connected to a television for getting better television reception and clearer pictures. It consists of a pair of long and thin telescopic metal tubes in a V form and a mounting hardware for securing it on top of the television unit. Since it is an indoor device, it is not susceptible to the outside elements that may affect its transmission such as rain, wind, heat, and lightning.
An indoor TV antenna has a weaker signal compared to the more powerful and higher outdoor antenna, so its placement should be considered carefully. To get clearer signals, it is usually pointed in the direction of the nearest window or any outdoor opening with the least obstructions.
