Abstract
One embodiment of the invention relates to a system for enhancing reception of radio-frequency (RF) signals by an audio-video device such as a high-definition television. The system comprises an audio-video device including a radio-frequency (RF) receiver to receive incoming EF signals, and an RF reflective element. The RF reflective element is positioned to reflect RF signals towards the audio-video device. The RF reflective element is at least partially imbedded with RF reflective materials to reflect undetected, RF signals destined for the audio-video device back to the RF receiver.
