More reasons for having the ANT751 antenna Up High. As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative Effect on broadcast Tv reception with a Tv antenna and so do buildings and other obstructions including the roof and building. The Best Pratice is to install a Tv antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including the roof and building. _______________ If you will like to Test reception with a indoor type antenna. For your location , install a Terk HDTVi antenna (Not HDTVa) in/at a ~West~ facing window or balcony door window. Also install a Winegard , LNA-100 'Boost' amplifier. ______________ Window glass and pelxi glass offer little resistance to the reception of Tv transmissions so it is Best to have the indoor antenna at a location that has the Best reception.
