TV reception
I live in Riverside, CA (about 50 miles east of Los Angeles).
I do NOT have a cable system nor a satellite ("dish") system. Except for small "dish"-type antennas, the condo-rules allow "yagi"-type antennas only in the attic of each house. But, knowing how much signal is lost by attic-installation, my Terk TV38 antenna is laying on a flat roof (so it's not too conspicuous to the condo-board). A coax cable runs across the roof for 15 feet, goes down 4 feet into the attic and is connected to a Radio Shack signal amplifier. A coax cable then goes from the amplifier, through the attic for about 30 feet to the TV set. Here are the channels I get: Note: KVCR 24's tower has a compass orientation of 51 degrees and is 9 miles from my house. The towers for all of the other channels have a compass orientation of 287 degrees and are 43 miles from my house. Call Sign Network Channel Picture Quality * KCBS CBS 2 F KNBC NBC 4 G KTLA WB 5 E KABC ABC 7 E KCAL IND 9 F KTTV FOX 11 P KCOP UPN 13 P KVCR PBS 24 P KCET PBS 28 F KOCE PBS 50 E KDOC IND 56 G KLCS PBS 58 E * Reception ratings: E = excellent (crystal clear) G = slight snow F = moderate snow P = can't see picture Any suggestions on what I can do to get better reception? |
