Is there any difference between a 75 ohm and a 50 ohm antenna for my ATSC HDTV receiver (for laptop)?
Question: I have a USB ATSC receiver, but it has a crappy antenna. I was looking for a best one on eBay, but I don't know if there's any diference between a 50 ohm or 75 ohm antenna.
There are also amplified (with USB power), are those speculator and how much better?.
