Mood: No Bad Days

[*] posted on 8-15-2010 at 07:07 PM


I have the same issue in my travel trailer, in the summer when on the road. I have a desktop computer I bought a linksys USB antenna and a 15' USB cable a couple of years ago that solved the problem. When I park, I put the antenna in the window where the signal is coming from. Works for me.

Have fun.

P.S.

You can also use a satellite TV dish, and some imagination to create a signal booster.

Before you go out and buy another antenna google "homemade USB antennas". You'll find you can increase the signal strength of the "not so good" antenna you already have

If I thought it would work, I would spend the $100 or so $ for the product that is on the web site.

Has anyone ever actually tried this devise?

If so, which one have you used?
