When it comes to signal loss over longer cable lengths, the basic rule of thumb is that a 50-foot cable can experience noticeable signal loss, and a 100-foot cable can drop as much as one-third of the original signal.Feb 24, 2019
Does length of coaxial cable affect reception?
Coaxial cable has a place. ... The longer the coax run, the more loss and the more expensive it gets. The signal arriving at the receiver from anything longer than 100 feet of RG8X is probably going to cause trouble. Runs over 200 feet without amplification are only a dim possibility.Dec 15, 2014
Can I use electrical wire for antenna?
You could try a wire coat hanger or electrical cord. Plug a coaxial cable into your TV's antenna port. Grab an insulated electrical cord (do not plug it in) or an unpainted wire coat hanger and set it on the ground next to the TV.

How long can a coax cable be before signal loss?
The longer the coax run, the more loss and the more expensive it gets. The signal arriving at the receiver from anything longer than 100 feet of RG8X is probably going to cause trouble. Runs over 200 feet without amplification are only a dim possibility.Dec 15, 2014
Does aluminum foil boost antenna signal?
Wrapping aluminum foil around your antenna will basically increase the surface area and conductivity of the antenna to boost the signal that your TV receives from it.
