east) and sets (in the west) . Then stand so that east is to your left and you'll be facing
south . Is there a window in the direction you're facing? Move the antenna closer to the
window .
TIP! Still not sure which way is south or where to place your Home Antenna? Look
up your location on an online mapping Web site that offers satellite views of street
addresses where you can easily see which way is south, and what window may
offer an unobstructed view of the sky .
Another easy method is to start at any window, then work from window to window
in a simple pattern to find the window gives the best signal strength . Note that
the antenna must also have an
unobstructed view . No trees or
buildings blocking its aim . If the
antenna is aimed through a window,
be aware that blinds, screens,
or any other non-glass elements
such as thermal insulation can
sometimes cause reception issues .
If this is the case, you may want to
use another window or place the
antenna outside of the window .
If you find a window that gives you
good signal strength, you can place
the antenna on the windowsill . The
antenna may need to be placed on
something to raise it above the level
of the window frame .
