How much of a TV antenna How to improve the image?
I live on the 20th floor of an apartment building in downtown London, Ontario (N6B3N8) and I recently bought a new TV and I would avoid buying cable. Currently I get 8 channels (CFPL, CTV, CBC, CFMT, CHCH, a French channel and some religious channel). I am currently using only a length of 6 feet of coaxial cable and all come in about 70-90%. How much do you think cooperation South-West facing Anntenna can do to improve the quality and quantity?
Antenna will be a great improvement. A coaxial cable itself is not a good antenna. The coaxial cable is protected with an internal wire mesh, thus preventing the capture of signals. You need to connect the cable to an antenna that is designed to capture television signals, or attach a "rabbit ears" style antenna directly to your TV and place it on top. Another option is to use a diapole "antenna that is something like a T-shaped wire that is inserted into the TV and then can be mounted on the wall behind furniture to hide it.
