In Reply to: poor antenna signal posted by dvdman on February 13, 2001 at 16:04:58:
I would first clean all the connections with a q-tip and alcohol or even better is contact cleaner. If this does not help, then you are dealing with the indoor antenna and the fact that the amplifier it came with amplifies noise as well as signal. Try moving the antenna around. A good outdoor antenna with a rotor is the best solution. It will compete with satellite signal in my experience.
Follow Ups:
for years we had beautiful pictures on TV of closeby local stations with just amplified rabbit ear type antenna (recoton, i think, top of thier indoor line), except for occassional lapse of dumb guy down the street with ham radio until neighbors had conniption and he got filters. all of a sudden, no warning, lots of serious inteference that never went away. after futzing for weeks, it was a toss up between cable, satellite, and roof mount with rotor. went for satellite, mainly for programming and DD PPV. wallet is lighter from monthly fees but sure beats cable (how may times do want to see caddy shack anyways, and forget about signal quality and customer service) and that's on all fronts - programming includes local station feeds. it's been a year and we hardly rent dvds anymore since we are tuning in so much. no service interruptions (try that with cable) since we got larger 20" dish even in bad weather, and those once satisfying rabbit ears - just a warm / fuzzy memory. but if not for echostar, we probably would have a roofmount and rotor.
