Bat Wing TV - no reception
Owned my camper for 7 years and just getting around to trying a TV with the bat wing antenna. All I'm getting is snow in my driveway at home. Any secrets to making this system work?

We have the VISIO 22-Inch HDTV and usually get 6-36 digital channels just about every where we go here on the EAST SIDE of the US.
The NATL BROADCAST transmits everything in FULL HIGH DEF mode which is really great. You will have to point the OTA BATWING antenna in the right directions before you will pick any channels in the SCAN MODE. My big surprise was to get 24/7 RADAR channels to watch. Being in a OFF-ROAD POPUP one needs to know when the BAD WX is sneaking up on you.
If you end up having to use a digital converter box for your older TV you will not get high def TV out of it. The digital converter will convert it back to analog mode. Also most campground still convert their CABLE TV SIGNALS to analog mode so watching high DEF TV from the OTA BATWING is great from the local towns towns. We do both modes when camping at campgrounds with CABLE HOOKUPS.
HIGH DEF MODE is much better on the eyes for us... Also it is FREE to the PUBLIC as well...
