Q: My local towers are not within line-of-sight, what do I do?
A: You may have seen “line of sight” mentioned many times when it comes to antennas. This simply means that in an ideal scenario, there is a direct, straight line between your TV antenna and the broadcast towers it is receiving signals from. The goal in practical applications is to achieve the most unobstructed path to the broadcast towers as possible.
You may need to elevate and/or move your antenna. Make certain the antenna is not aimed at physical obstacles such as a roof, building, or trees. You should also determine what type of antenna you need based on the terrain around your home, your location in relation to the local broadcast towers, and what channels are available in your area. Go to www.antennapoint.com or download the free Antenna Point app to your Android/iOS smartphone or tablet to find your local transmitter towers and a complete list of channels available in your area. Remember to rescan for channels every time you move your antenna.
