not put anything on the set such as a cloth or cover, a
container full of liquid (vase) or a heat source (lamp).
The set must not be exposed to water.
Poor reception
The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be
responsible for ghost pictures, echoing or shadows. In
this case, modify the orientation of the aerial.
