Tv Antennas and Reception
The higher the antenna is , the better the reception will be. . I suggest a Antennas Direct 91XG uhf Tv antenna with a Winegard 4700 preamp pointed at the American stations. . The higher a Tv antenna is the better the reception will be. . Outdoor type Tv antennas Like breathing room , no obstructions in the way of the front of the antenna. Tv antennas Like a clear shot at the Tv transmitters.
