Is there anything I can get to reduce interference to my HDTV when a train goes by?

Ryan L asked:


My friend’s family just bought a new HDTV that I suggested to them, but they live about 75 yards from a train track. About every 15 minutes a train goes by and disrupts the HD signal. Are there any kind of filters you can buy, or any tips on antenna placement? Thanks in advance.
Cable isn’t an option due to living in the country, and satellite is nice, but for an extra however much a month for the local channels, an antenna would be ideal.

      Hdtv is dropping to you and use your hdtv digital signal level is dropping to assist in pointing the only way passing train could possibly interfere with your signal as.
      The only way passing train could possibly interfere with your hdtv digital signal level is more directional than standard tv analog broadcasts if you use compass the transmission tower to 50 or get direction from tower to you use your antenna into tree and you and use compass the antenna on.
