Occupants in brick/stone/concrete/steel buildings are often left with the choice off trying to either catch a reflected signal of some other object outside their existing windows or hoping to get lucky as to whatever signals might penetrate the building's envelope through various points of ingress.

Unfortunately, we find that situations such as the one you've described will usually yield unsatisfactory reception results for indoor antenna users.

Here's an example. We've got some high-rise apartments just off the St Louis riverfront where residents in the south-west units can visually see the broadcast towers and can easily receive the signals with an indoor antenna while the residents in the north-east facing units are pretty much out of luck. They overlook the river and there is nothing to reflect the signal back to them. The concrete and steel construction of the building blocks signals from their units.


Good luck anyway!
