How to Boost TV Signals
- 1). Purchase a signal amplifier at a local electronics store. These boxes receive the TV signal, increase its quality and then rebroadcast it to the surrounding areas. Be sure to check if your television already has a signal amplifier built in because too much amplification can actually degrade picture quality.
- 2). Attach a coat hanger or other wire object to the antenna to increase its surface area and range of reception. This will help with a fuzzy or shadowed picture but isn't likely to cure a very, very weak signal.
- 3). Install a larger or higher-quality antenna. If the broadcasting tower is very far from your home, it might be worthwhile to install a rooftop antenna that catches the signal in a much stronger location and then transmits it downward into the home.
- 4). Try different TV placements in the room. Sometimes walls are constructed with materials that can weaken or block signals. Moving the TV away from these walls could bring a much clearer picture in.
