Reception Assistance
All,
Thank you so much for the voluntary help and resources this site has to offer. The issue: Not getting certain channels that I would expect to get. The TV: Samsung 40" Smart TV. If you need a specific model, I can dig that up. The antenna: TERK Omnidirectional Flat-Panel HDTV Indoor Antenna The setup: I have the Antenna standing (on stand included with it) behind the TV. This is on the second story of a townhouse, so I hazard a guess that it is around 15-20' above ground. The results:TV Signal Analysis Results The main goal for me is to get ABC. After looking at the results, I see multiple channels that I receive (FOX and NBC) that are on the same azimuth and just as close as ABC. ABC is actually closer than FOX but for some reason I don't get ABC. I did notice that FOX and NBC are both UHF while ABC is VHF Hi. Not sure how much of a difference that makes considering the short distance. Can anyone lend some insight into what might be the issue? Once again, thanks for the help and let me know if I can provide anything else. |

Also, get the antenna out from behind the TV set and experiment with its location to see if you can find a spot where the signal. TVs tend to emit their own interference which, when picked up by the antenna, will kill reception. Placing the antenna in front of a window that faces the broadcast towers, if one is available, is the best location to start looking for signals. |
