Yep. Look up Faraday cage.

Maybe you could buy some rabbit ears and try them on your balcony - http://www.amazon.com/RCA-ANT111F-Ba...sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 - you should be able to pick up these or similar at your local WalMart or home center. Then get a long cable and take them out on your porch. Experiment with placement and direction. Look here for some ideas http://www.kyes.com/antenna/rabbitear.html
