Antennas for Next-Generation Digital Broadcasting - TV Technology

This month I'll look at some of the antenna technologies being considered for future broadcasting systems, their benefits, and how this technology is likely to be implemented in the real world. Today broadcasters use one antenna to transmit to receivers with one antenna input, a single-input/single-output (SISO) system. WiFi routers using 802. 11n technology use multiple transmitters and antennas to send data to WiFi devices with multiple antennas and multiple receivers, a multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) system. The benefits of MIMO are greater robustness and higher data capacity (efficiency).

    I got an HDTV Stick tuner for my pc. It came with an portable antenna, does anyone know how to pick up cable?
    My pc won't bring in anything but local channels and the CW. Do I need to take the cable for tv and plug it in to the stick or can I get some channels without having a cable tv hook up? Thanks for your time.
