I'm having a problem getting acceptable reception for a single network (Fox/KDFW) in North Dallas and was hoping someone here might be able to help out. I'm trying to err on the side of giving too much information so please forgive me in advance if any of this is overkill.
Based on my Signal Analysis report (
link here), I purchased an indoor/outdoor powered antenna from Monoprice.com (
product link). I have the antenna mounted in my attic using a similar setup in the pictures
here, and I'm using 100 ft. of 75Ohm Quad Shield CL2 Coaxial Cable to connect the antenna. I do not have radient barrier in my attic and there are some trees in my front lawn in the antenna's path along with some high power lines about 2 blocks away.
I only really care about the major networks and this antenna picks up ABC (WFAA 8-1), NBC (KXAS 5-1), and CBS (KTVT 11-1) flawlessly; however, the reception on Fox (KDFW 4-1) is either too blocky to watch or doesn't pick up at all.
These stations are all less than 31 miles from my house and are all within 2 degrees of each other in direction. I would think it's my equipment, but I'm receiving stations perfectly that are closer and further away and have higher and lower signal strength in my signal analysis report than the problem station.
Any ideas on what I could try to address this?
Thank you for reading!
