tv antenna - no/poor reception
Maybe I expect too much from our tv antenna, but we rarely get any reception. It's not at all like the crank up type we had in the 5er. There's no crank handle. It must be hard wired in? We don'...

Goto TVfool.com and plug in your current address where TC is parked, and see what stations you should hope to be able to get.

While I made a high gain antenna that could pick up everything available, it was too big to travel with.
I bought a small single rabbit ear type antenna in the hope of getting just one or two of the strongest stations, and Much to my surprise, got about half of what was available, some that TVfool said were too weak for anything but a huge amplified antenna.

Don't forget to run an autoacan in a new location/antenna position, and if your rig is old, it might not have a digital TV.
If they are fuzzy, they are one of the few analog(NTSC) stations still allowed to broadcast in the TV spectrun.
Today one Needs an ATSC Digital tv to pick up OTA stations, or a converter box.
