I’ve moved the antenna. I use an indoor antenna and really don’t want to have to figure out how to mount one outside.

I know there are websites that tell you coordinates and how to locate the antenna but I’m old. My brain cannot process the information. What I really want is a service to come and properly position the antenna or even mount it outside.

Any recommendations for an antenna service or something simple I can do by myself. 5,7, and 9 come in fine. It’s just 4 which is what I want to watch.


Maybe just get a TV amplifier to stick between the antenna and the TV?

This ChannelMaster TV preamplifier might do the trick:

"https://www.channelmaster.com/collections/antenna-pre-amplifiers/products/tv-antenna-preamp-1"

Start at the lowest gain setting. If that works, you are done. If not, then raise gain a bit and test again.

I do not happen to know of a service that will come to your house, sorry.

NBC? ick.

But if you really are addicted, then just hook your phone/laptop up to your TV since you obviously have internet access.
