How do you improve FM radio reception?

[susefan]

I would like to improve FM reception of a Denon Ceol N10 mini system. Any ideas on how to do this?

aerial/moving around, dancing Salsa with it to see if the reception gets better,
or throwing it away and streaming everything from a Fibre line...

 

[susefan]

Most of the time it's streaming radios and spotify. But there are some local radio stations without good streams that I would like to listen to. FM reception is very poor.

dstv also carries some fm stations.
Some radio's have very weak radio tuners. Or are you generally in a bad spot.

Actually has a lot. All available on lowest package EasyView @ R29 p/m
But needs a dish install + decoder, not on streaming service. (Could be on their mobile app, don't know.)

There are also aerial masthead amplifiers for the specific FM directional aerials, but haven't seen a shop that specialises in that for ages.

bought a antenna from Webb once, working well. If there is a signal.

 

[RonSwanson]

You can buy one of those horrible T wires which you can prestik against the wall, or you can make your own dipole antenna.

I also discovered Dana Kotze's channel
