Last week I bought a DTV converter and set-top UHF/VHF antenna. I could not get ONE channel! We have several stations online in my area, but I am unsure of how many are online full power. Even so, I connected the antenna directly to my TV, set my TV to Over The Air, and I could only barely see one channel with lots of manipulation of the antenna. This sucks! When I lived in Arizona, we had excellent over the air TV. Here where I live now it is so hilly, TV and FM radio is piss poor. So, now I am stuck paying a cable bill. I found out that many DTV users are also using nice attic antenna systems along with positioners, because supposedly an antenna won't pick up all channels in any one direction, you need to constantly adjust them. I dunno what to do because we are trying to "get off the grid" as much as possible, but we're stuck paying a cable bill just to watch local TV!
