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?
