Tv antennas and Tv reception

As we have informed many others here at tvfool , (and no one tells any one else) a amplifier can not amplify a signal that is not there. And also a high gain amplifier 28/29 dB , can over load in the presence of strong tv transmissions and be the cause of bad or no reception. (no one tells any one else this either). The Tv antenna is what receives the signal not the amplifier. If the antenna receives no signal then a amplifier will amplify nothing. The tv transmissions are very weak in the red reception zone of the tv fool report. The antenna Must go up high to receive the very weak tv transmissions. The less obstructions there are the better the antenna will receive. Also can try this , if there is a big building to the , south , south west , south east , of your location you can try aiming the antenna at the big building to get a reflection of the tv transmissions that originate from the north of your location. . If you decide to move , consult tvfool to find a location that has a good view of the tv transmitters for easy reception.
