I'm not sure if this is exactly the right thread to ask about this. Apologies for the long story... I discovered recently that we can receive digital HD broadcasts over-the-air, as long as you have a digital tuner. I plugged a crappy FM wire antenna into the back of my TV and magically got 10 free high-definition channels. The problem is that it only works when the balcony door is open, and I can't receive any US stations, which I should be able to. (I'm in Toronto.) I'm 20 floors up in a condo that faces the UHF-broadcasting CN Tower, and Buffalo. I figured I could just stick a little outdoor antenna on my balcony. There's a little gap in the sliding doors I can use to run coax through. In my reading now I'm hearing all about "grounding" which I have absolutely zero knowledge of. There are tonnes of articles online about grounding antennas on rooftops and the like, but I can't find anything about mounting one on a balcony. Is it even possible to ground something like that from a condo balcony? Do I need to, or is it only important when the antenna is the highest point around during a storm...? teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 02:51 on May 16, 2009 |

It's a relatively-compact double-bowtie model. It's only about two feet tall, foot wide and like eight inches of depth. There are 25 floors above me.
