A:Answer Hi Valley, yes the antenna will receive signals by a window. For the community answer, you cannot always plan where the TV signals are at their best. Obstructions unrelated to products performance can affect reception. Every location is unique in terms of local terrain, foliage, and where the antenna is installed may affect your TV signals. We always suggest you try the antenna where you would like to install it. Scan your TV for channels and then if you are not receiving all the available channels, move the antenna a foot or two in either direction and then scan the TV for channels again. You can perform this task several times until you receive the TV channels available in your area.
