Do a search on this forum and check out all the threads on antennas, boosters, wiring, and how to do its. Its all been posted and explained in detail many times. Too much information to go back and try to repeat again. Depending on where you are, there just may not be much signal available. Generally antenna boosters are OK, but if there is nothing there, there is nothing to boost. Digital signals do not seem to just taper off with distance, at some point they just drop completely. The old analog signals just tapered off with distance, and antenna amplifiers really helped. Not so much with digital now
