Why can't I recieve reception off my indoor antenna?

Question

I've tried atleast 4 different kinds, but none of them work. I follow the directions on the box, but still nothing. What could be the problem here?

-The actual TV is a "1080 HD"

-I have not purchased a converter box yet, I am currently using DirectTV

-Only one of my local channels have shown up, the others are just a fuzz

-I live near a highway, and there are trees nearby

-What's up with it?

Go to www.antennaweb.org to see how far you are from your stations and what antenna you need.

An indoor antenna may not be powerful enough for where you live. You also need to point them directly to the source (antenna towers).
