Basements tend to be poor locations for any type of antenna. It might be good enough but if it isn't your needs might be better served by Hulu, Sling TV, Direct TV Now , PlayStation Vue or some other online service.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Basements can be tricky areas for reception. Television signals will not penetrate the ground and in most cases basement walls are concrete with steel rebar inside them for support which will block signals from reaching the antenna. If your basement has windows above ground, place the antenna in the window. If that doesn’t provide good reception, try moving the antenna higher, either by taping it to the basement ceiling near the window, or moving it up one floor and running the coaxial cable down to the basement TV. Remember to redo the channel scan every time you move the antenna. In many basement situations a roof/attic mounted antenna is a great option since it gets your antenna up and over any blockages.
