"Chris and his team are without a double the most incredible group we've worked with during our new build. After two years of planning, we are in all the final phases with our new house. Technology can always be overwhelming but it's never been so simple! Truly, as we are getting thru the last few parts from our sound system, tv's, all the lighting and shade controls...and honestly tying the entire project into our phones - Life is Good!!! Every part of our project exceeded our expectations and realized there is no way an ABT or other sound guy could have ever done the things Trifecto did for us. We've used ABT for our last few projects, but Chris and his Team handle so many things others cannot do, and again with the Tech and support that we now could ever live without!"

Mounting your TV antenna on the roof or in the attic at the highest possible point provides the best reception. Ensure a clear, unobstructed view toward the broadcast towers. The best view is free from trees, buildings, or walls that could interfere with the signal and potentially damage the antenna.
Your TV antenna should be mounted as high as possible with a clear, unobstructed view toward the broadcast signal source. Elevating the antenna improves the chance of receiving clearer and uninterrupted reception. Obstacles like trees, buildings, and hills can interfere with the signal, so avoid mounting it on the ground or below the roofline. Installing it on the roof or in the attic ensures a direct line to the transmission towers, enhancing both signal strength and picture quality.
To strengthen your antenna signal, start by ensuring your antenna is in an optimal location with a clear view toward the broadcast towers. If you're still experiencing weak signals, consider adding an amplifier for an additional $50 to $200.
Check for nearby obstructions or metallic objects that might interfere with reception, such as appliances or metal fences, and keep the antenna at least 6 feet away from them. Additionally, ensure your coaxial cable isn't excessively long, which can reduce signal strength.
Even though a few rare cases are exceptions to the rule, grounding won't improve your TV antenna reception. Like other issues, it's best to speak with a TV antenna specialist to learn which options will deliver the strongest reception. While grounding may not work, your pro will offer other ideas to improve reception.
An outdoor HDTV antenna costs $20 to over $200, with some units running upward of $500. Indoor units run as little as $20 but with poorer quality reception. Like most things, you get what you pay for. However, you may not need a top-of-the-line antenna. Discuss your needs with a local TV antenna installer.
A TV antenna won't always provide perfect reception due to factors like your distance from broadcasting towers, nearby obstructions, and weather conditions. To minimize issues, research your area's signal strength and choose the right type of antenna for your location. Tools like the DTV maps from the Federal Communications Commission can help you check local digital TV channel reception. Selecting an appropriate antenna and proper positioning and installation will improve your chances of receiving consistently clear signals.
