I noticed the TV owner was using an antenna, instead of cable. I imagine
that the TV antenna (rabbit-ears dipole?) helped to transmit the signal in
a manner that could be received by the the satellite. If it had just been
plugged into cable, it might not have been strong enough. I bet more of
these sets get this problem occasionally, just it never becomes an issue.
