I AM POSTING THIS ON MY THREAD FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO LIVES IN GEORGIA:
Which antenna should I get to receive the most channels and best reception?
Here is where we are located:

We recently purchased a SAYNO FVM3982 1080p HTTC LCD 39” TV and EVERYONE in our neighborhood has trouble with reception unless they have cable or a dish. We live in a wooded subdivision area, but our home is up on a hill and we have 2 stories so it would be pretty high up. (If you need the exact info, is there a way I can locate that for you?). This TV is on the first level and is NOT currently hooked up to any antenna because we cancelled our DISH and want to use only the antenna for local services as we mainly watch TV through services like Netflix & Hulu Plus.
Side note: My Mom is visiting and she made a simple “Coat Hanger” antenna like this one: :

and it works pretty good for her in Illinois. So we made one and tried it, but this TV wouldn’t pick up ANY signals!
We tried it on the TV upstairs, which is a Sylvania Model #6432TD (A REAL oldie!). It had been hooked up to a converter box and cheap room antenna and got “4” stations – but basically only ABC. When we tried the ‘home made’ antenna & did a channel search, it still only picked up 4 stations, but they came in clearer. – I tell you this to let you know that the antenna actually functioned! We might try moving it to another window or in the attic to see if that would help us get any more channels??)
I’d LOVE help with what we should purchase and what direction to have it and see what stations we might be able to get with the new HDTV, and would welcome any other advice for the “Old” analog TV as well!
Thanks, and have a great day!
