I live in a basement. Will i be able to pick up signal with this antenna?

sorry i do not know.my tv is near a window and the antenna is perched on the sill and gets good reception. i cant say how well it would work in a basement.

Well, I live in a one-story cinder block house and I can only get five channels. So.... I suppose you could try it (maybe you're in an area with stronger signals/reception) and send it back if it doesn't work. Good Luck!

Yes but you will not be able to pick up a lot of channels. I know that I can only get about 5 channels.

I have a tri-level and use one downstairs. I sometimes have to reposition it, but reception is great. I do have it within 3 ft of an exterior wall.

Honestly I don't know, I live on the second floor and I have the advantage of the height. And I also live in Chicago and all the TV stations have pretty good signal. Try it and just return it if is not working ;). Good luck!

You will get better reception. Mine is working fine in the middle of the room. You can also buy more cable to get it closer to a window.

If the signal that you're trying to receive is decent or at least ok and it is the receiver that you're having a problem with yes the antenna will help you but remember if the signal is noisy the amplified antenna will probably be just be amplifying noise I hope this helped... Hauser

You will more than likely need a antenna, in my experience. You can set it up as basic cable with OTA.

Hi Marilyn, and well, I can say yes, that it can pick up stations in my building. My building is brick in the front, wood frame in the back. If you live in a high-rise, most of those types of buildings have steel framing, and just as long as you were in a building with windows, I would imagine that your reception would be fine. UPDATE: I had an idea, and I took the radio downstairs into my cellar, which is very old with very thick stone walls and heavy steel I-beams to hold up the floors of the house. The radio performed perfectly, on AM and on FM, so I can say yes, even when surrounded by heavy construction, this radio will perform.

Yes, if you have a long enough cable you can put it about anywhere. I have mine in the basement and it works great. Just put it in a south facing window and plug and play. Works way better than a cell phone booster

I think it would work fine, however being in the basement may require an amplified antenna for better reception. This antenna works but is not "multi directional" imo as it gets different signals based on the direction it faces.

It would probably work but i have mine hooked to a tv and only get two channels and this is upstairs so i doubt if you&lt;ll get good reception in a basement

Any FM radio will receive the signal. It should work anywhere in the house.

No. This is an indoor antenna that will work ok in a metro area where you are less than 25 miles from the TV towers. You will likely need to take extreme measures to pickup digital TV signals from that far away.

Yes. That is what I use it for. I have a long antenna run from a pole on top of my chimney all the way to my basement, with two splits along the way, and had weak reception on my basement TV. I added the signal booster to the run just before the last split and it improved the signal strength on both lines.

Probably, if you have wifi it will pick it up. Mine wouldn't pick up anything past my neighbors house. I was testing it for free wifi from a down the road but it didn't work so I returned it.

It works pretty well!!!I have it setup in the basement and it works even from the second floor.

Not sure, remember an antenna will not pull in signals, a better antenna may just help magnify the signals there. I lived in an apartment, but I lived on the top floor of a 4 story building, nothing really blocked the signal that high. I was able to get channels other people who lived in houses couldn't. So, it all depends on where you live, and how close you think you are to the transmitters or if your in line of site to those transmitters. You might try a amplified antenna, it might help get more gain, but I too thought this Terk would do wonders, and it really didn't, if the signal isn't there it just isn't there. So, your best bet might be cable, but I understand it can be expensive. Not sure, remember an antenna will not pull in signals, a better antenna may just help magnify the signals there.

It did pick up digital signals. I even got some High def channels, but you must have a digital capable TV. Great antenna for the price. I'm quite happy with it.

It will pick up signal from a home 500 ft away, but it depends on different factors such as: topography, surrounding vegetation, and others. If it is a flat and clear area you should have no problem getting signal, but i cannot guarantee 3 bars.

Yes. It will pick up the channels you have asked about. Example in my area: 9.1, 9.2, 21.1, 21.2, 21.3. Unit works very well. One thing to remember if you have a directional antenna outside on a tower, it may only pick up stations it is pointed at when you do a scan for channels.
