Hello

An outdoor antenna is more better than indoor antenna. If we fix an indoor antenna, especially in rooms in a flat type structure buildings, due to its iron network structure reinforced inside its concrete will oppose a considerable obstruction to tv signals to get through. Moreover, if any paerson walk through these telescopic type antenna, picure will get shiver of it will be distrurbed.

So buy an outdoor antenna, and hoist it at suitable place, where there are no obstructions comes between the signal path of the transmitter and the antenna. Get an antenna, whcich has as many as cross elemets, if it is a yagi type. As number of elements increses, the sensitivity and seletivity of the antenna will also increase, resulting in good and detailed picture clarity. OK

Hi I live in a housetruck and travel around in New Zealand and my mobile phone service is bad in side it is there some kind booster that I can use mobile I'm with skinny network

Mobile Signal Boosters: There are various mobile signal boosters available in the market designed for improving cell phone reception indoors. These boosters typically consist of an outdoor antenna, an amplifier unit, and an indoor antenna. The outdoor antenna is placed outside the housetruck where there's better signal reception, and it captures the weak signal. The amplifier unit boosts the signal, and the indoor antenna rebroadcasts it inside the housetruck. Brands like SureCall, weBoost, and Wilson Electronics offer such products.

How to hook up the antenna

If you are not using cable or Sat. TV, you need a DIGITAL outdoor antenna, preferably outdoors for better reception. Forget the garbage indoor window or set top systems as they will not pull in a good signal, unless you are near the TV Stations transmitters. Cosco or WalMart has TV Outdoor systems.

Need to know how to change and setup for use of antenna

Purchase your UHF/VHF antenna. The antenna can also be purchased at most electronic and retail stores. Consult your list from Step 1 and see how powerfulicon1.png the over-the-air signals are for your specific address. Purchase your antenna based on the broadcasting power you need to receive a clear picture on your TV. You might be able to get away with an indoor antenna if your signal strength is strong enough. If not, you'll need to purchase an outdoor antenna.

  • 4 Install your antenna (or have it done professionally) according to the building codes of your area. If you must use an outdoor antenna, it is a good ideaicon1.png to have the antenna professionally installed. This ensures that it is properly grounded on your roof, not too close to electrical wiring and stable during inclement weather.
  • 5 Hook the converter box up to your television using the cable that came with it (F Cable). Hook your antenna up to the converter Box. Turn on your TV and converter box. Tune your TV to channel 3 and press "Scan" on the digital convert box. Allow the box to scan for your available channels.
  • 6 View your picture and adjust your antenna accordingly for the clearest over-the-air feed. You should only need to make adjustments once. If you are having a difficult time getting a clear picture, use a signal strength indicator to see where you receive the most powerful signal.

    As suggested by FCC, I moved the antenna to the other side of the TV, facing south, where the transmission tower is, but the picture and sound are still breaking up. Do I need to move the antenna closer...

    Is the antenna suitable for digital TV signals?
    The TV signal is weak, if the antenna is an un-powered device then I suggest you get a powered antenna, this will amplify the signal.
    Moving the antenna closer to the window will help.

    Digital to Analog converter...no signal

    One of the problems with digital reception is if the signal is not strong enough for the converter box/or built in tuner on a new TV- you will not get any picture at all. If you followed all the directions-and the converter box shows no channels- then you do need a better antenna. I don't know how far you are from the broadcast antenna, but a good rule of thumb is if you live 10 miles away, buy an antenna that is good for twice that distance, or further. They are rated in miles of reception
