No matter which antenna you go with, be mindful of the following factors that affect all over air TV reception, no matter where you live or what OTA antenna you choose.
User Considerations
Weather
All over air antennas are subject to fluctuations in weather. Rain, wind, and snow can affect your reception no matter what antenna you choose.
While this can be a frustrating thing to deal with, especially in severe weather, it’s a rare occurrence and something that can often be overcome by simply moving the antenna and re-scanning for channels.
Terrain
In an ideal over air antenna scenario, you would live in a flat area with broadcast towers in sight of your location. Since most of us don’t live in that ideal situation, terrain can be a factor with respect to channel reception.
It’s possible to overcome some issues with terrain by using a Mohu Jolt Digital Antenna Amplifier. Adding the Jolt amplifier to your coaxial cable can assist the Leaf 30 in fine tuning its signal reception and clearing up pixelation.
Placement
A key factor in over air channel reception is antenna placement at your location.
Placing your Leaf 30 as high as possible is best. In a window, on a shelf, or behind the TV will all work, but you may have to try multiple placements with subsequent channel scans to find just the right placement to obtain all the broadcast channels in your area. Be mindful of metal objects in close proximity as this can also impact reception.
Inexpensive, yet powerful technology with the ability to blend seamlessly into the background, and bring free TV in high definition to your home.
That’s the Leaf 30.
