   • Ensure the Right Direction: Boost HDTV Antenna Signal with Proper Placement. Whether you’re using an indoor antenna or outdoor one, proper placement is key.

   • Coaxial Cable Quality: Minimize Signal Loss with the Right Cables. Investing in quality coaxial cables, like the RG6 variety with tri or quad shielding, is like upgrading from a dirt road to a smooth, multi-lane expressway.
