Reception Issues

[Badger]

Hi all,

I ditched cable a few months back because I didn"t watch enough tv and it was getting expensive. I live on the second floor of an apartment and have an indoor antenna by a patio door that faces northeast. I have tried various antenna, but I keep having the same issue. Every time a car drives by my signal cuts out and the screen goes black for a few seconds. As you can imagine, this gets annoying especially on traffic heavy days. My antenna is connected directly into the tv with no splitters attached. I really only care about getting constant signal from the 4 major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox).

A link to my report can be seen in the following link:

Any advise on things I can do to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. http://emacedgame.net/

The following is a Teleview recommendation for broadcast Tv reception.

The second floor balcony that faces north east.

If a antenna were out on the balcony , is there clearance to the south east to aim a antenna to the south east??

What directions does the street run that has the cars??

Are there any windows that face , south east , south??

________________________________________________

Try a Winegard FV-HD30 on the balcony , aimed at about 120 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

The best way to get the coax from the balcony to inside the apartment is a hole through the wall.

Here is another way. http://www.hollandelectronics.com , or at , http://www.solidsignal.com.

# 144823 flat antenna coax .

Also try the FV-HD30 in , south east , south , window.

Yes there should be clearance to the southeast to point an outdoor antenna.

The street runs parallel to my window so it runs northwest-southeast and all of my Windows face the same northeast direction.

Is there a way to fix this using indoor antennas? I"m not sure that they would like me drilling a hole through the exterior wall. http://quapoker.net http://retrodbonus.org/ casino sydney

It is amazing , the Resistance , to taking even simple action to get Tv reception.

There are no magic Tv antennas.

There are no magic reception situations.

If there are any of those small satellite dishes on the outside , how do the coax cables get from the satellite dish to the receiver on the inside????

Through a hole through the wall????

And how does the cable tv company add a extra cable outlet to an other room??

Is it with coax on the outside of the building , and then the coax goes through a hole through the wall in to the room????

Did you read the part about the flat coax?? . The flat coax is not the first choice to get the coax from point A to point B.

As a test of reception , It is OK to run a coax through the - open - balcony door.

As you can see on the the tvfool radar map , The main groups of digital Tv stations are to the South East.

On the balcony , Above the balcony wall , aim the FV-HD30 to the South East.

Adjust the aim for best reception.

As always , trees and tree leaves do a real fine job of reducing or blocking Tv reception and so do buildings and other obstructions.

It is best to have the antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions to the South East.

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , some times named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv setup menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
