Note that the antenna must also have an unobstructed view.. No trees or buildings blocking its aim.. If the antenna is aimed through a window, be aware that blinds, screens, or any other non-glass elements such as thermal insulation can sometimes cause reception issues.. If this is the case, you may want to use another window or place the antenna outside of the window..

If you find a window that gives you good signal strength, you can place the antenna on the windowsill.. The antenna may need to be placed on something to raise it above the level of the window frame..
