Many things can impact an antenna's performance, including the building materials in your home.
Things to think about when your neighbor gets a better TV signal than you.
- Are you both using the exact same antenna?
- Did they add different type of coaxial cable or a different amplifier?
- Any other modifications?
- Is your home located "behind" you neighbor’s and could their home be blocking the signals?
- Is their home located higher than yours? Often a few inches can make a huge difference with reception.
- Do you know which direction the towers are coming from and is your antenna facing the right direction for optimal reception?
- Do you have a home that is causing the signal to be diminished because of the building materials used to construct the home? Check out this "Building Material" link for more information on that topic.
- Have you tried using an amplified antenna?
