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.Home.
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.that.blinds,.screens,.or.any.other.non-glass.elements.such.as.thermal.
insulation.can.sometimes.cause.reception.issues ..If.this.is.the.case,.you.may.
want.to.use.another.window.or.place.the.antenna.outside.of.the.window .
If.you.find.a.window.that.gives.you.good.
signal.strength,.you.can.place.the.antenna.
on.the.windowsill ..The.antenna.may.need.
to.be.placed.on.something.to.raise.it.above.
the.level.of.the.window.frame .
If.you.don’t.have.a.window.where.you.
receive.a.consistent.signal,.or.placing.
the.antenna.in.a.window.is.not.a.practical.
solution.for.you,.BETTER.reception.
can.be.achieved.by.placing.the.antenna.
outside.on.a.window.ledge,.porch,.table,.
or.patio ..The.location.you.choose.should.
