i'm still not having any luck.

i bought two rabbit ear antennas, but neither of them did any good.

i have to say that the dipoles did not extend as long as the specs stated, so i don't know if that had something to do with it. i also don't know if i'm doing something else wrong. i'm using the automatic scan on my tv and the only channel i receive now is 26. i know in the old analog days, you could move the antenna in real time to see if it improved reception. can i do that now or do i have to rescan every time i readjust the antenna?

i should also point out that my tv is on the east side of my living room. because the new rabbit ear antennas come with hard wired cables, i can't even place the antenna more than a foot and a half from the tv. i tried using a longer cable with an adapter and placed it against the west wall, but that didn't do anything. i should also say that there is another unit on the other side of the west wall, so i imagine that doesn't help much.

what would you say are my next options?
