The quality of the picture and sound of TV broadcasts directly depends on the antenna's ability to receive a signal. If the antenna is not powerful enough or placed incorrectly, then there can be no question of a good picture or sound.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the location of the antenna. An important role in signal reception is played by the height at which the antenna is located. It does not matter at all whether it is about radio or television. To strengthen the indoor antenna, place it as high as possible. If the antenna is of the telescopic type, it must be fully extended for the best signal reception.
Step 2
See where the antenna is pointing. If there are obstacles between it and the signal source, the reception will naturally be poor. Try to position the antenna so that there is no large tree, tall building, power line, or any other structure in its path that could seriously interfere with signal reception. This way you can amplify the antenna.
Step 3
Use an antenna booster to make the indoor antenna more powerful. This is a special device that facilitates signal reception. Also try using additional grounding. The antenna power will hardly change from this, but the signal will be clearer. Any antenna is an open oscillating circuit. The larger the area of the oscillating circuit, the greater the ability to receive a signal it has. Any long wire can serve as an antenna. Attach it to your indoor antenna. This will increase its area and, consequently, power.
Step 4
Use the last resort if none of the above methods worked. Replace the indoor antenna with an outdoor antenna. An external antenna is much better adapted to high-quality signal reception, especially since there are much more possibilities for its adjustment. Aim the outdoor antenna in the direction optimal for signal reception. This saves you the trouble of constantly adjusting it, as is often the case with indoor antennas.
