When in doubt, refer to the owner's manual of your television. If you are one of a growing number of people subscribing to satellite TV, you will need to continue to access KMEG off the air via antenna. Check with your satellite service provider for details. An important element often overlooked is the transmission line. It is the wire that carries the signal between the antenna and the television set.
Transmission lines deteriorate with age.
If your transmission line is worn-out, you may be looking at a snowy, ghosty signal even if the antenna and television are brand new. For optimum performance, a transmission line should be replaced every five years. If you are installing new transmission line, it is important to select a quality grade to minimize signal loss. Round coaxial cable and flat twin lead are the two basic types of transmission line. Twin lead cable is less expensive, but it deteriorates faster and is more susceptible to interference.
