Switched from cable to OTA - can't get 9-11-13 Los Angeles

[rocknjosie]

Hi Forum,

I've recently tried to get in on this OTA digital HDTV badwagon. I've got an 18" Sylvania 760p HDTV that I'm using a rabbit ears Antenna from GE on. It has chrome 34" dipoles and a loop, did the autoscan and can't get a signal for 11 and 13. 9 comes in choppy as pea soup. 2, 4, 5, and 7 are crystal clear.

I'm in South LA county, so I have the indoor antenna facing north.

My report says I'm about 30 miles from all the transmitters. I went with the cheapest antenna, am I gonna have to upgrade to get 11 and 13? I get the UHF channels fine, btw 18 through whatever have no problems.

Any help would be fantastic. Thanks!
