Answer 1

The best thing to do is start with the basics.  Visit http://www.antennaweb.org and put in your ZIP code.  That will give you a list of digital stations in your area, how far away the transmitters are and where you have to point your antenna to receive them.

If re-aiming your antenna doesn't help, you probably need a better antenna.  http://www.antennaweb.org will also suggest antennas for your situation.

Some common issues are, hills or buildings in the way, aiming the antenna in the wrong direction or the improper antenna type.  Remember that not all digital stations are UHF, you will need a good quality VHF/UHF antenna.

I hope this helps. Please return and select a Best Answer from all of those submitted.
