Local Digital Broadcast Information
All numbered “.1” channels in our area are uncompressed digital quality. Most cable/satellite providers compress these channels, which compromise that quality. The secondary. third, fourth, fifth and sixth channels are not HD as the bandwidth is not needed because original programming was not as good of quality.

About Zager’s Antenna Technology
We guarantee you a better picture than you can get with any other antenna package at any price.
Our Zager Color Special™ antenna is custom-manufactured for optimum local channel reception (UHF/VHF) in the greater Lancaster County area.
Our Color Special™ includes technical characteristics not found on any other antenna available in this area! Our antenna was designed using our knowledge of the local channels, the topography of Lancaster county in conjunction with Zager’s years of experience with antenna technology. The result is an antenna that performs.
Technical Details The antenna package we use at your location can be a 2 or 3 antenna package customized to the needs of your specific part of the county.
Digital-Ready, Better Picture While it may sound complicated, the thing to remember is that we can guarantee you a better picture than can be received with any other antenna package presently available.
No Eye-Sores While antennas need height to perform well in most areas around Lincoln, our antenna installed in the attic works quite well. We still install outdoor antennas in areas where low signal levels require more height. Call us to find out about your area.
For most people, our antenna is an investment that will last them indefinitely. Does it make any sense to pay a monthly fee for something you can get free forever?
