- This is probably an FAQ, but here goes.
-
- The TV reception we get is pretty good, but I do get ghosting, mostly
- noticable on high-contast screens like move titles.
-
- What causes it and is there anything you can do to reduce/eliminate it?
-
- I have an external UHF antenna mounted on my chimney, about 2m about a
- flat metal roof. We have clear "line-of-sight" with the translator, which
- is about 7km away.
-
- Can anybody recommend a good "antenna book". I'd like to know more about
- this esoteric science.
