I live in Bangor Maine and am having trouble accessing channels that would appear to be close enough to receive with an inexpensive setup. My current relevant information is:
•
Antenna: Audiovox ANT751R DGTL (currently only using simple "rabbit ears")
•
Analysis: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46aeace0f37a9c
•
Channels: Currently receive 5.1, 5.2 (not shown on report, but is the CW), 12.1 (intermittently) using "bunny ears".
•
Issue: Based on my last address which is 2 miles away from my current location, I assumed that I could pick up at a minimum 2.1, 5.1, 5.2, 7.1(ABC), 7.2 (FOX) using just a simple antenna. When that failed I purchased the Audiovox shown above which when hooked up using a 25', cheap coax cable without an amp, still does not get 2.1, 7.1 and 12.1 which are the main channels I am seeking. I did pick up NBC 117 miles away once but still could not get the local broadcast.

Location specifics: I live near the top of a small hill that has a clear view to the west but a somewhat blocked view to the east due to houses and the top of the hill. There is a small airport to the west ~3 miles away.
If possible, I am ready to purchase the required equipment but I want the advice of a few experts to steer me in the right direction before I waste my money. An attic antenna would be the best option if feasible but I will definitely mount an outside antenna if necessary. Thanks for your help.
