Not fishing related... but here goes...

I recently installed a metal roof on my cabin. I have a roof mounted TV antenna on the cabin. Prior to the metal roof going on, I had cable quality TV reception. Now I have none.

Does anyone have ideas?

i woould move the antenna off of the roof sounds like the frequencys are being interupted. move the antenna to a tree or on to a pole aways fro your cabin and you should be good not sure how far just try it till it works

You could also try to ground the roof. That would actually be a very good idea.

I'm going to have to watch this thread. I had a little hunting shack and had good TV reception just from the roof. I built a new cabin that has metal roof - and a 24-foot peak - and I had to install a much larger attenna to get some halfway decent reception. Maybe grounding the roof might help.

i'll try grounding the roof... thanks.

Did ya ground the metal roof and did it make a difference?

Thanks
