Q: QuestionI have tried two different inside antenna everything was fine but on both can't get CBS or NBC My tv is next to my french doors in apt RCA 55 mile amp multi directional Best Buy Is it that some don't pick up or ?

Asked 6 years ago by canolikid.

• A:Answer I'm sure it's dependent on where the broadcast tower are in relation to where you have the antenna. There may be more than one broadcast tower you are trying to access and, yes, it is line of sight, too. Use the link here (https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html), even call them and they will tell you which direction to point the antenna. Super nice people, very helpful. Best Buy sell their stuff too. I was going to buy one of the outdoor antennas, but this one seems to be sufficient. My goal is obviously to cut the cord of DirecTv ($150+/month). This antenna, Hulu + Live, Amazon Prime, and Netflix has all my viewing needs covered. I have the same issue with CBS, CW, Fox on one broadcast tower, and NBC/ABC on another. Play with it a little, even just moving the cable from the TV improves my reception. Ideally, an outdoor antenna is the best option.

Q: QuestionWill this antenna work inside a shop building with metal sides and metal roof?

Asked 6 years ago by Davethewoodworker.

• A:Answer Reception is better if it is by a window or in an area that the signal is stronger. Metal buildings tend to block signals, depending on the way they are insulated and thickness of the walls and type of metal they are made of. My opinion is if you are going to be using this product mount it outside it the direction of the stronger signal. You can place it in different areas and set your tv for scan and see where you get the best channels. Also make sure that rain and wind are blocked.

Q: QuestionThis model MTVGLS is not listed on terk website. It is not listed even as an older model. Is it something made specifically for BestBuy?

Asked 7 years ago by May.

• A:Answer This item is available at other retailers, just not as the same model number. Best Buy frequently has manufacturers give them unique model numbers to avoid price matching, and to claim it is an exclusive. I do not recommend this product.

Asked 7 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer I'd really have to go to the TV to remember, but I get the 4 main local networks and probably 4 or 5 others, I think, including HGTV and a kids' cartoon channel. For $20 a month you can get HBO and there may be other packages also. I just wanted local channels.
