The picture quality of your television relies on how well your antenna receives its signal. Indoor antennas work well in areas where the television signal is strong, but reception deteriorates if tall buildings block the signal or if your home is in a valley. Connecting your television to an outside antenna can improve reception and allows you to put your set in locations where indoor antennas can’t receive a signal. With a head for heights you can install and hook up your TV to an outside antenna without the cost of hiring a contractor. Warnings Writer Bio
