What brand outdoor antenna did you buy? I want the same one you have!!! :B
That depends a lot on what stations are around you.
In the old days, if you were watching say Channel 7, You were watching Channel 7.. But today.. Well if you are watching 7-N (1,2,3,Whatever) you might be watching most any broadcast channel (in one place I park it is indeed 7, in another 41, Just as examples) So you need to know the charrier or broadcast channel.. Your TV will tell you or any of the better antenna helper applications.
Back in the ANALOG days.. I put a Channel Master on top of a 100' Tower at my parent's house I forget if it was their Biggest or #2 on te list (think #2) We got very good reception,
Google "Union city, NI" and the map 9 Mile and Southfield Road, Southfield mi... We could see the tower at 9/Southfield from Union City Reliably.. Among other stations.
