What is something I can do near Rabbit Ears to carry a furrow to come within better?
Answers: This answer assumes you are located in North America)
There is seriously of "art" in adjust rabbit ear antennas, but you can cut down on the guess work by knowing something about how antennas work.
-
Go to the first connection and find out the direction, distance, and frequencies of your local analog TV transmitters
Look at your list; if at hand are any analog channels between 2 and 13, look at the second net link and adjust down the "ears" to the lowest channel #. The ears mostly receive (VHF) channel 2-13.
If all the analog channel are between 14 and 69, collapse the ears to their shortest length and leave them horizontal.
There should be a loop , dish, or digit 8 on your antenna; this mostly receives analog channel 14-69.
TV signals reflect bad of flat metal objects, including aluminum foil backed insulation, metal glass screens, and the flex mesh used in stucco & copy adobe construction. Building materials, concrete, dirt, and water engage TV signals, including bags of saline water otherwise set as human beings. Salt water also conducts electricity, so if close adequate they becomes "part" of the antenna.
After you involve all these things, you are equipped to apply the "art" of adjusting TV antennas.
Look at what is between your TV antenna and the flash of site to the TV transmitter antennas. Is there something measurable like a refrigerator or aquarium within the way?
Two credible good locations are as elevated as you can locate the antenna (avoiding the bags of brackish water problem) or surrounded by front of a window facing the TV transmitters (avoiding incorporation by building materials problem).
If you can't get what you want next to the rabbit ears and don't want to do a lot of research, for something like $60 you can get a Winegard SS-3000 antenna which is going on for as good as a standard purpose indoor antenna can get. Depending on the specifics of your situation, in that could a few better choices. Maybe. Depending on the orientation of the TV transmitters and what your TV signal looks close to now.......

If your TV doesn't enjoy a digital tuner, you will need a converter box between your antenna and TV after 2/17/09 when the analog broadcasts are going to be shut down.
Digital and analog TV use one and the same antennas, but unlike analog channels, digital gully # don't relate to the actual frequency the transmitter uses. The "real" channel a digital broadcast uses can be referred to as "real", "actual", or "RF" trough that is one and the same frequency as the equivalent analog channel #.
