@PBryanMcMillin2 жыл бұрын
Not sure what kind of antenna you tried, or how far away the broadcast towers are, but location and height is key to getting good reception, if the stations are not located in your town. You will get the best reception if the antenna you use is an outdoor antenna on an antenna pole. The antenna, also, needs to be pointing in the correct direction. They do have outdoor antennas that are motorized, so the direction can be easily adjusted. I don't know of you have an Ollies store in your area but they currently are advertising a motorized outdoor antenna with pole for about $30.

In my experience adjusting the direction will fix the problem. The pixelation is caused by a tree or something blocking it. Take the antenna and place it outside the window and place tape to hold it in place. That will fix the problem! Pointing the antenna left if right will fix the pixelation. Get a long coaxil cord if necessary to place it outside and use a barrel to connect it to the antenna cord. Good Luck.
