  NWR Receiver Reception Information
Even though the TV antenna is horizontally polarized (elements parallel with the ground), there is usually enough vertical signal due to scattering and reflection of the signal that it will significantly enhance the received signal.
A device called a band separator or splitter (5) is attached to the end of the TV lead with one output connected to the TV and the other to a balun (2/3) then to the weather radio.
When a home made 1/2 wave length antenna may not be suitable and an outside TV antenna is not available, a commercially constructed ground plane antenna (6) with an 18" or 36" vertical shaft is recommended where directionality is unimportant.

The Germans demonstrated one of the first TV productions in 1928 in Berlin, but the Americans were the first to develop a broadcast TV standard and later a color television standard that was also compatible with existing fl-and-white sets.
The upshot is that the French and Germans are unable to watch each other’s TV programs without a converter, even if they live near the border.
But most Germans get their TV via cable, so there are few digital TV sets in use.
