Will an outdoor antena boost our digital reception? We already have an interior booster.

Asked by Gregory (107points) January 8th, 2011

We have an interior antena and booster attached to that but I’m wanting to know if we add an exterior antena will it be any help. We used to have “Dish Network” and they left all of the exterior wireing so I’m wondering if I purchased a digital antena for the exterior if it would help our reception overall.

Yes. Here is an article explaining what set-up to use.

Absolutely. I have a big one with a rotator on the roof. It is fantastic.
The antenna is the same one that has been on the roof for 40 years. A Radio Shack special.

Yes, a rooftop aerial will pick up a stronger signal but a booster will not improve digital reception.
