    Hello,

    I am looking for some home (simple) way to improve the quality of received channels on TV or via radio.

    I have a "room" antenna installed for the TV, unfortunately the quality of some programs that I receive is not satisfactory.

    I wonder if if I connected a cable or a suitable wire, I would be able to improve the quality of the received programs.

    Regards

    If you have any DIY skills and some materials to build the antenna or scrap the antenna, you will do it for a maximum of PLN 5 :)
    One of the easiest and best antennas is the Yagi-Uda. Download the Yagi Calculator program, with which you can count the dimensions and search for information on Google on how to make such antennas and work.
    Here you have a nice topic https://www.elektroda.pl/rtvforum/topic1475221.html#7230194

    My favorite show - Al Jazeera ;-)

    And so seriously the standard TVP1,2,3 TVN, Polsat, Puls - nothing more is needed.

    Unfortunately, I live in a block of flats and I have to limit myself to a room antenna.
    I bought one, supposedly the strongest they had in the store. Unfortunately, I receive 4 programs, if I want to watch the other 2 I have to rearrange it.

    I am looking for a way to improve the quality of the channels I receive.

    You have ~ 10 km to Błeszno. You should be receiving well.
    Buy yourself an outdoor passive antenna.
    Such an antenna with a balun on the balcony should already handle it.

    Set it to Częstochowa and watch it. You can buy a DVB-T MPEG4 tuner and watch digital terrestrial TV.

    Thank you for the advice, the balcony is gone, but we'll try to figure it out :-)

    Do you have a window from the side of the transmitter in Błeszno or from the side of the transmitter in Węczyca?
