We use the OTA BATWING UHF Antenna to pick up the National Broadcast digital TV when on the road.
It does have some drawback but we get 6-36 channels just about everywhere we go here on the East side of the US.
Perhaps you are not doing it right.
You should have a digital High Def TV set... You need to set the menu for ANTENNA and point the OTA Antenna towards the local town transmitting BROADCAST TV. Then you have to use the HDTV menu and scan in the digital stations every time you stop somewhere. Make sure you have the ANTENNA WALL PLATE panel push button is "ON". This applies 12VDC to the BATWING PRE-AMPLIFER mounted in the base of the roof antenna.
The BROADCAST TV is transmitted in full blown high def HDTV signals. Really great TV to watch...
We use to bring along all of SAT TV stuff from the house until the NATIONAL BROADCAST TV went to the digital mode a few years back. After seeing how good the TV signals were we stopped bringing along all of our SAT TV items.
If there is some of the CABLE TV SHOWS we want to see we can downstream them using our VERIZON MIFI UNIT on the internet.
