I've used Honda Windward for tire repairs several time over the past 8 years. Mostly nails in my tire. They are quick, inexpensive and you get a free car wash out of it. Folks are very nice. The waiting station is air conditioned and the TV is on.

They did a really nice job, and they are the only one we might have gone with, but based on their advice we are probably not going to do it because the turnover in our area is too tight. I live in a low sun area. Most of the others were in the same area. They were just more honest. They were...

I called Sam's to ask about having my TV repaired. The man who answered the phone gave me prices for making a house call and for fixing the TV (exclusive of parts). These seemed quite fair to me. He then asked a number of questions about the TV problem and asked me to perform a test at night...

TV Antenna questions, answered by experts

If you’re having problems with poor reception, here are some simple tips that may help improve the signal and picture quality.

Consider the position of the antenna: Could it be higher, is it secure, or are nearby obstructions interfering with the signal? For a directional antenna, you may need to reposition it in the direction of the broadcast tower.
Move any metallic objects: Metal can interfere or block reception, so if you have stainless steel objects or the antenna is near a wrought-iron fence, this could be a problem. Try to keep the antenna at least six feet away from metal objects..
Cable length: An overly long cable can reduce signal strength. If you don’t need as much cable as you are using, it may be better to exchange it for a shorter one.

Regular maintenance and protection against weather extremes enhance longevity.

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.

The length of coax cable can affect the signal. Coax cables and their connectors all have a small amount of electrical resistance, which means that the longer the cable and more connectors in the system, the weaker the signal strength. In most homes, the signal loss is tiny, but systems with coax cable lengths over 100 feet will likely experience signal troubles.

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.
