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.
