Well, I've sure done a lot of experimenting with different antennas the last couple of weeks to see what works best.

I too, cannot get digital channel 13 at all - only analog. I do get both analog and digital channel 5 fine. My roof antenna points SW I believe. I also have put an A-B switch in before the box, so that I can use an indoor UHF loop to get channels 2 & 11. So, besides 13, I get all the digital channels I want - it's just learning if I need to use the roof antenna, or the indoor VHF or UHF ones. I'm adjusting the indoor ones a lot! Even my upstairs neighbor walking around can cause a weak signal to break up.

I also found that switching off all my signal boosters gave me BETTER digital reception - go figure.

After the final switchover is complete, I'll readjust the roof antenna a bit - that should help.
