it’s inconsistent, try moving the Indoor/
Outdoor Home Antenna closer to a
window, ideally one that is facing due
south.
Not sure which way is south? Think
about where the sun rises (in the 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 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
