Antenna Selection - Palm Beach County, FL
I am wondering what type of indoor (preferable) or small outdoor antenna would be best in my situation.
Here is my analysis: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...c84fbe36f2c119 I am in an apartment on the second floor with one floor above me. My balcony (which the TV is right next to) faces roughly south and southeast. I have been considering the Terk antennae as well as the Mohu Leaf but am unsure if I should buy amplified or non-amplified or if I should consider other options. Thanks for any help you can give! |
The long list of strong local signals argues against use of an amplifier.
The Terk HDTVi (not HDTVa) would be a better option than the UHF only Leaf. |
I was thinking along those lines so you've confirmed my inclination. Thank you for your input.

Indoor Tv antenna reception is not a reception friendly environment and never will be a reception friendly environment.
The building construction that is the best for indoor antenna Tv reception is , wood with wood or vinyl siding and a composition shingle roof. The following is a - Non complete list - of building construction that will reduce or block Tv reception. Concrete , concrete blocks , bricks , big rocks for walls , metal siding , metal roof , metal backed insulation , stucko Wire , solar panels , tile roof , concrete shingles. The groups of Digital Tv stations are to the , south , north east , north , north west. Aim the HDTVi antenna through the balcony glass door to the south. Here is how to aim antennas. http://www.kyes.com/antenna/poingong/pointing.html. As always , trees and tree leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Digital Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including the apartment building. It is best to install a antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception. |
