  • the linking rod and the support element are two different elements and an end of the linking rod is housed inside the support element.
  • the reflector is linked to the linking rod by means of a bolt.
  • the support element comprises a housing and two support arms fixed to said housing, the linking rod being also fixed to said housing.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a digital terrestrial TV reception antenna as described in the claims.
  • the digital terrestrial TV reception antenna of the invention comprises a reflector comprising a through hole, a linking rod and a support element in which a plurality of directing elements are distributed.
  • the linking rod and the support element are two different elements and an end of the linking rod is housed inside the support element.
  • the reflector is linked to the linking rod by means of a quick anchoring mechanism.
  • the quick anchoring mechanism comprises at least one pin associated with the linking rod, and at least one anchoring hole in a wall demarcating the through hole of the reflector, cooperating with said pin, such that the pin is housed in the anchoring hole when the linking rod and the reflector are linked.
  • linking rod and the support element are two different parts instead of a single part makes the digital terrestrial TV antenna according to the invention more compact when storing and transporting it.
  • the housing of the support element in which the linking rod is housed serves as a guide for facilitating the assembly, thereby reducing the effort used in doing so.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the digital terrestrial TV reception antenna 1 according to the invention.
  • Said antenna 1 comprises a reflector 2, a linking rod 3 and a support element 4 in which a plurality of directing elements 7 is distributed.
  • the linking rod 3 and the support element 4 are two different elements and an end of the linking rod 3 is housed inside said support element 4.
  • the reflector 2 comprises a fastening part 5 in its central portion and said fastening part 5 comprises a through hole 6, as shown in Figure 2 .
  • the linking rod 3 passes through said through hole 6 of the reflector 2.
