I have moved it to other places in the house but still no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure some of the dollar figures mentioned for antennas still apply, I took a quick look on Amazon & saw a multidirectional 200 mile range attic antenna for $70. There are also the indoor digital box type that say 480 mile range for $60. I don't know if any of these work & if cash is tight they may be too expensive as a trial. Unless Amazon was used with the idea to return right away if they don't perform. Best of luck!
