"Final price twice what I believed I had established as the price. Very high marks for Lorenzo who was polite and courteous. We wanted and believed we would get out FM connected to the antenna. I specifically asked is an additional FM element would be needed to do that and was told the TV elements would already cover that. Yes, we have FM channels on the TV but not what we believed we would get. We purchased a TiVo as instructed. I did not understand that hooking it up would be an extra charge. Glad to get on the Majik Jack system and away from AT&T --but again a previously unmentioned service charge--etc-etc--etc. I did not get a written estimate of TOTAL charges in advance so was surprised that my (approx.) $560 phone quote penciled out to be $1013.99--almost twice what I anticipated."

The shorter the coaxial cable, the better. The further you run the cable, the more signal loss you'll experience. At 50 feet, you'll see significant signal loss, and by 100 feet, you'll experience at least a 30% drop in signal strength.
Most repairs take 1-4 hours, but complex signal issues may require further troubleshooting.
DIY is possible for minor adjustments, but professionals ensure proper alignment and signal strength.
Outdoor TV antennas are often worth it, as the signals broadcast in your area are always stronger outside. If you have an indoor antenna that isn’t performing well, call a TV antenna installation company to come out and use a signal checker to see if a stronger signal is available on your roof, as it often will be. Outdoor antennas require longer cables, which can decrease the quality of the picture, but a professional should be able to find a position where cable length is minimized, and the available signal is strongest for ideal performance.
There aren’t any guarantees that the TV antenna you purchase and install will provide perfect reception. Much depends on your distance from broadcasting towers, any nearby obstructions, and typical weather. However, doing some research minimizes the risk of disappointment.
You can speak to neighbors to understand their setup. Various online tools allow you to check how far you are from TV transmitters in your area. The Federal Communications Commission, for example, has a tool enabling you to check local Digital TV channel reception.
Selecting the right type of antenna for your situation and having it properly positioned and installed will also increase the chances of better reception.
