If you are fortunate, you can put your TV antenna wherever you wish & enjoy crystal clear HD channels over the air free of cost. Nonetheless, quite often you’ve to go through a little trial & error to get everything running perfectly.
There’re quite a few aspects that have an effect on a TV antenna’s signal, so if it seems like your television is regularly glitching & lagging, you will probably have to make a few amendments.
Use the correct antenna:
First of all, you wish to ensure that you’ve the correct antenna, and you will wish to ensure that it possess adequate range to catch the TV signal in the first place.
For example, if your TV antenna possesses a 25-mile range, but the broadcast signals are thirty miles away, the antenna is not going to be able to grab any channel regardless of what you do.
Moreover, you’ve to ensure that your antenna can catch the appropriate frequencies. Broadcast signals are broadcasted over 2 diverse frequencies: Very High Frequency (VHF) & Ultra High Frequency (UHF), so it is essential that the antenna you buy supports the frequency that the majority of your channels use.
Location matters:
The lesser the obstacles, the better the reception, and that’s why the placement of your antenna matters. Preferably, there should be direct line of sight between your antenna & the broadcast towers, but this generally is not possible.
Having said that, try to fasten your antenna in a window or mount it to a wall somewhere around the outskirt of your home. That way, you will have the slightest obstruction feasible from objects around your home. However, if you put the antenna somewhere deep within your home, there is a greater possibility that walls & household materials will obstruct the route of the signals.
Tip: If you’re not sure where to put your antenna for better signal, better let it to a professional who specialize in digital antenna installation in Brisbane.
Install it as high up as feasible:
If you’ve an indoor antenna & a 2-storey home, look to put the antenna on the 2nd floor so that it is as high up as feasible. Again, you wish the antenna to have as direct a line of sight with the transmit signal towers as you can, and this can help achieve that.
If that does not work, you may wish to buy an outdoor antenna & installing it either on the roof or a chimney stack. This will not just get your antenna as high up as feasible, but there also won’t be any obstruction from walls & other household materials.
