Default Tilting a Television Aerial

They do not go around corners unless they have something to reflect from.

Seriously, can you not just trim the tree?


If the aerial is quite old then the down-lead may well now be on the way out
and letting moisture in through the sleeving or at the aerial connections
box, so might be time to get it installed somewhere moor out in the open.

My freeview reception from my wall mounted aerial on the rear wall was
fine until a neighbours tree grew all of its leaves.

The aerial height is just a bit below the topmost height of the tree.

Would it help if i *tilted* the aerial *up* to point over the tree, or do
transmission signals not work like this?
