Ge Antenna

I want to know if I must purchase a box to use my TV with antenna to receive HD signals

Many people are having problems getting channels with these boxes cause their antennas aren't good enouggh.
Digital needs a better signal than analog.

This happend last Sat. Now, fooling around with it, I can get a weak picture on all channels by having the connection for the amlifier in halfway, and streching the wire across the top of TV set in just a certain way.
Works with antenna on or cable on. I've tried everything I can think of, to no avail.

Really frustrating, got great reception up to that moment last Sat.

Time to go out and get a new antenna....

The power supply or the amp has died and you cannot repair it cheaply....

I have tried 3 different antennas and only a few channels come in and they are really jumpy. I live in a major city. So its not like I'm in the middle of nowhere.

Before I got the box I used to get channel fox cbs and nbc, maybe not the best quality but very watchable. now I can't even watch those channels at all, it freezes every few seconds. Is there anything I can do?

I feel like there is a huge conspiracy forcing people to buy new tvs or get cable or satellite. And I just can't afford another monthly bill.

HELP!!??
I also tried an antenna with gain and all that did was add interference.

Most (but not all) of the DTV channels are on UHF channels (14-69). So you need an antenna that can bring in UHF. Most "rabbit ears" perform poorly on UHF.

Try one of these antennas.

Also check the websites below to see what stations you should be getting and what antenna will work.

I'm trying to receive digital channels with a converter box and antenna. However, after I complete the setup it has no signal. So my question is, does the type of antenna you use make a difference? I have a magnavox box, and GE antenna. If you have any advice I would appreciate it!
We are surronded by other houses, but nothing really tall.

The antenna is plugged into the "ANT IN" on the conerter box.

As for the distance, I really don't know.

Well, just how far away from the TV stations are you?

And do you have giant buildings Blocking the signal?

A rooftop antenna is always better than a tabletop antenna.

Is your antenna connected to the ANT IN instead of the OUT TO TV jack on the back of your converter?

I was looking at a terk and a ge version that range from $45-$60. If anybody has any info about either brand or if they could recommend another i'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Go to

I had the Philips MANT510 indoor antenna with a 50db amplification that picked up stations about 30 miles away.
