My goal is to gift my friend with as many quality TV channels as cheaply as possible. The location is an 'Art Hotel.' When the current owners purchased the location, there were several long term residence they couldn't kick out. The resident's SMATV TV reception is of no real concern to the owners. No help will be coming from them. As someone who's stayed in one of the rental rooms, I can assure you TV reception is of no real concern to management in general.
My plan is to use and A/B switch & 35 feet of coax to find a sweet spot on the Eastward facing window wall (he's on the 5th/top floor) and hopefully wall mount an omni-directional Axis DVB-T9001 and just leave it there... no future adjusting. I'm open to any input on this plan!
In my research, which I did before I found this great site, I kept coming across antenna options like amplified antennas, non amplified, FM traps, etc. which got me wondering if there was anything that could be done 'in room' to improve my friend's SMATV reception. I know the wiring is old rg 59, he's near the end of the hall and possibly near the end of the cable run so I wondered...

But of course I have no access to any sort of measurement devices to test his in room signal. Thanks for your interest and your help!
