Antenna Diversity Technology
Digital terrestrial TV receivers can’t receive a channel if the signal is too weak. Your distance from the transmitter and the walls and electronic devices around you can weaken DVB-T signal strength.
Exclusively available on PCTV Dual DVB-T Diversity Stick, Antenna Diversity technology:
- Significantly increases reception compared to single antenna
- Improves sensitivity for better reception in weak coverage areas
- Overcomes interference for better indoor reception
