"EXCELLENT!!! Miguel is outstanding. He communicated prior to coming so all services would be taken care of. Making sure all equipment was on hand prior to coming or he purchased and I reimbursed once services completed. He attached the antenna on my roof even in the rain. My prior cable company had not wired the house correctly and he was able to fix and rewired that mess to be sure great signal in all my rooms. In addition I had purchased my own Tivo and he set that up for me. He made sure each TV I wanted worked and was set up properly. He is professional, reasonably priced and a pleasure to do business with and would do more in the future if needed. Would definitely recommend him to others!!!!!"
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.
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.
Annual checks for damage or misalignment and ensuring clean connections.
Regular maintenance and protection against weather extremes enhance longevity.
Yes, in general, raising your TV antenna will improve your reception. Besides raising the location of your antenna, you should try putting it by a window. In fact, you can have the same antenna but get double the channels or more if it's in the best location. The highest spot to put a TV antenna will be on your roof, and the tallest type of outdoor antenna is a tower.
