RECEPTION HINTS
Local High Definition Television is not available via Cable or Satellite at
this time. This means that for many people, it is time to use that outside
antenna again or install a new one.
-
Use the Free Antenna Pointing Service from
TitanTV
to determine what type of antenna you will need and where to point it for the
best picture. TitanTV will recommend specific brands of antenna, most all not
amplified antennae are pretty much the same design and manufacture, so brands
are not critical.
-
Pointing in our television market is critical. As you can see on our
Antenna Pointing
page, not all television station transmitters are located in the same place.
You may need an antenna rotor to rotate your antenna for each station.
-
Check all your connections in your antenna system. If you have not inspected
your antenna in several years, it is now a good time to do so. Connectors can
get wet and rust develop. Corrosion can prevent to from recieving all but the
strongest television signals.
-
Long Runs of Cable will contribute to line losses. Use High Grade Coaxial
Cable whenever possible. Avoid splices and excessive connectors - Use one 50
foot cable instead of 2 - 25 foot cables if you need 50 feet. Each connection
in your system reduces the signal passed to your receiver.
