Ok, I got the 91XG today and installed it. I now get a crystal clear channel 10 and channel 47 so I picked up a channel. When I scan for channels the converter box stalls 4 times when scanning. Twice a channel found light comes on and twice not. So now I am going to hook up a friends digital TV tomorrow and see what I can get. I figure its the other 2 strong channels on my TVfool page. Something tells me the converter box is trouble.

My guess is that you have a problem with multipath just like I do. Try something like the Antennacraft MXU59 with a Titan 7777 pre amp from Channel Bastard. Or if you have a few more bux to spend look at the Antennas Direct 91XG. I use both of these antennas at my location and I am getting around 80 to 90% signal strength on all my channels in yellow and around 60 to 80% on average on a red signal showing a weak 2 edge signal with a strength of around 6 db. My guess is that either of these antennas with that pre amp will give you at least the top four channels on your TV Fool report.
