Signal problem with indoor antenna

Hello everyone!

so I’m letting myself write to you because I’m struggling with my indoor antenna Antengrin Captimax! I placed it in my garage at about 4 meters high. Then a coaxial cable that goes to a distributor which then sends it to all the rooms. Everything is connected with F connectors. In the room I have a SCHAUB LORENZ TNT adapter bought 4 years ago. When I plug it into the wall antenna socket, I have no signal even after auto scanning for channels. Have you ever had this kind of problem or maybe do you have a solution.
thanks in advance for reading me and for helping me
regards

      Perhaps the "other decoder" is "less performant".... But even with the built-in one you say "find a few channels"... so it is indeed related to a (signal that is too) weak....

      indoor antenna we’re not going back to this theme the TNT forum is already full of explanations and warnings, you just have to read!! noting that the decoding threshold varies from one tuner reference (adapter or TV) to another, the worst are those shipped in USB TNT sticks with poor sensitivity... served in addition by a very underperforming related antenna, which, on top of that, receives a weakened signal after passing through thick obstacles....!!!!

    Hello,

    In the vast majority of cases, an indoor antenna is insufficient to receive DVB-T (digital terrestrial television).

    The only cases where it works (and even then...) are those where you are close to the transmitter and without obstacles...

    See you,

    The antenna is at waist height, not high enough I think to pick up all the channels.
