How do I get better reception from my plug and play

Place antenna on outside of vehicle as high as possible. Test position of glass mount prior to final install as explained in the install directions. When listening while parked, make sure antenna has clear view of southern sky (no large trees buildings in way).

Based on the satellites position relative to your geographic location, make sure to expose the satellite antenna in the its' orbit direction. Hope this helps.

My folks have the same problem. AM interference. This unit or any other internet radio (with good reviews) is a good solution. Just make sure you set it up and update to the latest firmware. As long as you visit (and you should, lol) every so often to make sure its working right, it should be fine. Another low tech solution is a crane CC radio, which in my experience has superior AM reception. At my folks the issue was some sort of local interference creating a constant hum so CC radio would not help. All your mom would have to do is select the preset, tell her not to mess with the rest of the functions. If she will place it near her router anyways just hardwire it, and avoid some hassles. However I have this set up on the second floor with a dlink dir 655 in the basement and it works great.

Where you have your antenna pointing and how high it is installed does make a difference. Find out which compass points your local TV stations are located and point your antenna there. An antenna rotater can also help improve reception.

Use a larger ground wire and turn down the gain a little but that will only help a little

Reception is limited at best. It does a better job when the power cord is connected. Otherwise I can tune in a station but the moment after I set it down I hear static.

Try a few different frequencies. Also make sure you don't have any other wireless equipment on a similar frequency. We had a mic that spiked anytime someone in the next building used a Walkie Talkie.

It could be due due poor reception in your area, or simply that the channels in your area may not have all gone to digital broadcasting yet (they should by the end of this week). Best recommendation is to visit www.antennaweb.org and enter your address. The site will tell you what stations are available in your area, how they are broadcasting--digital or analog--and provide recommendations for an antenna to get best reception. Also as you ask, it *is* possible that your converter boxes may not be sensitive enough. Check the reviews in here and you will see that some makes and models are definitely better than others. Of the ones I've tried, my vote has to go to the Channel Master CM-7000 for both sensitivity and picture quality.

Great, just hook it up to a GOOD outside antenna and plug it into the power and USB on your receiver and it will assist you Good Luck

I had similar problems. I plug the reciever into one of the ports on the front of my computer and the problems went away. It looks like the range is not that far. At least that was what it was for me.

Mine provided worse reception than I had before. Can't Answer your question because I threw mine away....

Plug and play. Though personally I didn't really see an improvement from the original single antenna. My issue was walls though so who knows

I think it's 88 .1. to 108. Auto Tune stop with the strongest signal. You might try backing off on the anttena a bit.

You need an outside antenna or a good window for the regular antenna that comes with the unit. It must have a southern view. I needed to do that at 2 locations in on my property. As long as you have the antennas set up with a good southern view of the sky, you should be able to get a good signal.

No idea as my location in the mountains has very poor reception and I am a technology dummy

You would need to pick a station that is the most optimal for reception. Here, live 106.7 is really bad on my car - I can only hear just a faint, but 105.9 (unused station) did it for me. Now it sounds really clear without any humming noise during intermission.

Hi Larry, To improve the radio reception, (TV/Weather/FM): Tie the FM wire antenna to the suction cup. Extend and adjust the antenna. Secure the suction cup on the wall where you get the optimum reception.(AM/LW): Rotate the unit horizontally for the optimum reception. A ferrite bar antenna is built in to the unit. -Anthony

You could try a small antenna outside & it should help but I have a full size antenna which depending on the day gives me any where from 35 to 60 % antenna strength. Depends ob how windy it is that day. Wind is a factor in the reception.
