Wow. Thank you for the quick replies!
Building is north-south oriented, and our unit is a floor-through, so there's no hallway -- it's all our apartment. We do have north-facing windows on the opposite side of the apartment. I cannot relocate the TV there (the two rooms on that end are kitchen and bedroom), and running cable from the north side to the south is not an option.
So, yeah, basically I'm pointing an antenna south to pick up signal from transmitters to the northwest. Perhaps unsurprisingly, when I aim the antenna north inside the unit, I get no result (going through I-have-no-idea how many brick and concrete walls to get to air).
I read something on another forum about "bouncing" the signal off buildings across the street. Is this...I dunno...even possible? Realistic?
I note that my signal improves dramatically when I position the antenna about 4 feet above the ledge and 2 feet away from the building, facing directly south. TiVo shows the WPIX signal rating going from about 14/100 to 54/100 when I do that. That is, of course, basically floating in mid-air -- I can't think of a mounting solution to position the antenna there.
