It would help a great deal if you would post a link to your TV Fool report: Guidelines when asking for help

On a side note, my old antenna said it had 10.4 DBi Gain or something, does that mean it could receive signals at -10.4 db?
Some antenna specifications are in units of dBi. Some are in units of dBd. TV Fool defaults to dBd. To convert dBd to dBi, add 2.15. To Convert dBi to dBd, subtract 2.15.

Example: 10.5 dBi - 2.15 = 8.35 dBd

Here is an explanation and several examples of how to use the information in your TV Fool report: http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=109
