Amazing location but works perfectly

For many years I have had a portable television on my dresser so I can catch the news while I get dressed in the morning. On an old analog TV with a good signal, there were no problems. With the new digital television it is difficult to get a good signal. All of my local TV stations are north of me, and my windows only face east and west. (Brick wall on north side.) So to get a signal I have to rely on "reflected" signals. The problem was that I blocked the signal when trying to watch TV. And as I moved around the room, I also blocked the "on and off" signal. But I have an air vent 10 feet off the ground. So I taped this antenna to the air vent and, viola, I have a continuous signal! As for the reception, otherwise this antenna is no better. I can't find a station that is 12 miles away, but I can find stations that are 30 miles or more away. Not a perfect solution, but not a bad one either.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • For seniors
