Tv Antenna Installers FAQs
The best place to put your TV antenna is on the roof or in your attic. Always try for the highest possible point with a clear view unobstructed by trees, buildings, and walls. If an object or structure obscures your antenna, you may not have the best signal, or your antenna could become damaged.
Mount your TV antenna as high as possible with an unimpeded view toward the signal source. The higher you mount it, the better the chance of creating clearer and uninterrupted reception. You’ll rarely see a TV antenna mounted on the ground or below the roof.
If you’ve already placed your antenna in the most ideal spot, you might need to add an amplifier for an additional $50 to $150. Be sure to discuss your options with a few TV antenna installers to understand available options to ensure you have the strongest signal.
Usually grounding won’t help improve your reception, with a few rare cases as exceptions. Like other issues, it’s best to speak with a TV antenna specialist to learn which options will deliver the strongest reception. While grounding may not work, your pro will likely have other ideas to improve reception.
A typical outdoor HDTV antenna costs $50 to $200 with a few units running upwards of $500. Indoor units run as little as $10, but with poorer quality reception. Like most things, you get what you pay for. However, you may not need a top-of-the-line antenna. Discuss your needs with a local TV antenna installer.
