Abstract: Typical consumer-grade terrestrial television antennas use simple flat plates in a dipole configuration. Reception is enhanced by elevating the antenna for better line of sight to the broadcast antenna, which often necessitates locating the antenna in the attic of a building or on the roof in the where it is exposed to the weather. The antenna disclosed is uses antenna elements that are substantially planar, have a unique shape that improves reception, and allows for compact packaging in a weatherproof case.

Abstract: An amplified television antenna system is disclosed that receives its power from a non-dedicated source such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection. The USB connection that powers the amplified television antenna can be made with any USB device such as a television, a television receiver, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a game console, or a USB AC wall adaptor.

Abstract: A system for the distribution of over-the-air (OTA) television content for remote display includes an OTA antenna, a wireless antenna transceiver connected to the OTA antenna for receipt of OTA television signals via the OTA antenna, as set-top box receiver (STBR), and a television receiver connected to the set-top box receiver and adapted to receive video data therefrom. The wireless antenna transceiver includes a first wireless access point for transmission of television content signals, derived from the OTA television signals, via wireless link, and the STBR includes a second wireless access point for receipt of television content signals via wireless link. The STBR receives the television content signals directly from the wireless antenna transceiver or from an intermediate wireless router. The wireless router may also distribute the OTA content to other display devices. Power-line networking may alternatively be used instead of wireless links.
