Looking for suggestions on antennas to improve reception. This
TV Fool report shows that most major broadcast channels (CBS, NBC, and Fox) are in the red. My problem is I cannot at this time, due to living location, mount an antenna outdoor or on the roof. And I have a large hill (called West Rock) about a half mile away almost directly in line with the Hartford station antenna locations.
Currently using an indoor Terk HDTVa antenna (pointed to about 20 degrees magnetic per a compass) and can only receive the following channels with a Zenith DTT900. Some of these stations tend to drop in and out from time to time as well.
8.1 WTNH-DT (ABC)
8.2 (No Signal)
43.1 WSAH-DT (Independent)
43.2 WSAH-2 (RTV)
55.1 WLNY TV
59.1 WCTX-DT (MyNetworkTV)
59.2 Cool TV
61.1 WEDY-1 (PBS)
61.2 WEDY-2
61.3 WEDY-3
61.4 WEDY-4
Looking for suggestions on antennas (if any) to improve reception. Elsewhere suggestions have been to try using an Antennas Direct DB8 antenna + Winegard ANWI8700 amplifier or using an Channel Master 4228HD antenna + Channel Master CM7777 amplifier. Would either of these antennas/amplifiers (or others antenna/amplifier models) help in bringing in the more distant channels indicated in the above TV Fool link report?
