Like many of the other posts I've seen here, I just moved and am temporarily in a basement apartment. After being cable free for a while (thanks to Roku and Netflix) I decided to put together an HTPC for OTA broadcasts. I cannot have an outdoor antenna at my apt so I pulled out my trusty indoor Terk HDTVa with amplifier and hooked it up directly to my W7MC HTPC via Hauppauge tv tuner. As I have a directional antenna I pointed it in the direction of the closest and best coverage area. I get about 15 channels, including ABC, CBS, and Fox but not NBC. I really want to get all 4 of these stations--I don't care about receiving any of the other channels (e.g., PBS, CW, MyNetwork). Here is my TV Signal Analysis:

As you can see the NBC tower is slightly (about 2 miles) further than PBS 19.1, for which I get near perfect reception. I also get very good reception on CBS and FOX which are about 25 miles away with 1Edge. If I move the antenna slightly then I lose ABC, but do not gain an additional channels.
Any suggestions?
