The new digital system is way different than the old days. You either get a good picture or nothing. Nothing in between no snow or static.
Yep, that's it. Gorgeous HD or zilch. Only issue with that is a channel can be there one time and gone the next. In the old analog days it could go from a clear broadcast to a fuzzy one, but you could still watch it. You get no real feedback as you move an antenna around as far as signal strength. It does not get better or worse; just appears or disappears.

After fiddling with the indoor Mohu antenna the first few days I found a spot and just leave it alone. I'm content with what it picks up. Just a month without a cable tv or satellite bill more than pays for it and I can always subscribe to one of them in the future if I want. It is a flat 9"x11" piece of plastic, black on one side, white on the other. I hung it in a window with 2 suction cup hangers. I guess you can even mount it on a wall under a picture.
