- The picture freezing, pixilation, dropouts and
no signal are all signs that the TV signal may
be weak. Many factors affect how strong the
signal will be when it reaches your antenna.
These factor include how close you are to
the TV transmitter, how high your antenna
is, weather conditions, and obstructions
such as trees or buildings.
Knowing where
and how far away your favorite TV station
’s
transmitting tower is, can help you solve
signal problems.
- Digital TV signals received with an antenna
keep their quality for longer distances than
traditional TV, but at the edge of their range,
they dissolve abruptly. This is called the
“cliff effect,” where the signal just “falls off of
the cliff
”. This is one reason why you might
be able to receive a clear picture at one time
and a no signal the next. You may be right
on the edge of the cliff. Often High buildings
or trees can also obstruct the signal. Mov-
ing the TV
’s antenna to the left or right so the
tall building does not block the signal can
often help. Also raising the antenna higher
can also help. Example: If you are in the
kitchen with the TV connected to the
external magnetic mounted antenna which
is located on kitchen counter and are having
trouble with the picture freezing
occasionally, try moving the antenna up
higher by placing it on top of the refrigerator
or relocating it to a window facing the direc-
tion of the TV station.
