Well, I cut the cable a couple of months ago. I've tried 3 antennas, so far none have met my expectations. I got one from Walmart, but it didn't do that well. The one I have now is the BoostWaves(WA-2802) with a 360 Deg. rotor.

I think where I am is in a valley, I have my antenna about 25 feet off the ground. It is supposed to be 150 mi range. I do get several channels WESH(NBC) and WKMG (CBS) and some others, but they are not consistent. The channel will be great and then just disappear and then come back. It's a directional antenna, so I would think that if I point it to a particular station it should be consistent. It's not.

At this point I'm thinking of calling Tom of Tom A/V (I need the number). Maybe he has an answer.

Maybe I should put up a 150 foot tower with 20 to 30 antennas (joking).
