Trying to get TV reception
 
HELP!!!
I currently moved to a new area where cable TV is
unavailable. I have tried the Mohu leaf antennae for my
area and I'm unable to get reception without physically
moving the antennae for each channel selection.
I'm guessing this is not the ideal antennae for my area.
I picked the Mohu because not knowing anything at all
about TV reception and antennaes...this sounded like the
simplest options.

I want to get reception at http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...36162e27c237dc
It's the floor level of a 2 story office....what would be my
best option for reception?

Any input would be appreciated. :) Sherrie

@Sherlock, I've taken the liberty of converting your street address into a TV Fool Reception Report, in part to protect your privacy.

A small roof or wall mounted mounted antenna such as the RCA ANT-751 will easily receive most if not all of the stations shown in the green and yellow section of your report.

If you can not mount an antenna on the outside of the building, try locating the indoor antenna at a window with a southeast view. Masonry, steel framing, stucco, metal siding, etc. all limit or block TV and radio signals. Even solar shade films and certain specialty window glass can cause trouble with indoor antenna operation.

The Terk HDTVi indoor antenna will have slightly higher performance compared to the Mohu Leaf. http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=2828

Regardless of which antenna is used, aim toward the southeast. http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html
