I'm having too much trouble installing an antenna I bought for OTA HDTV.....I originally wanted to just install it in the garage (and indeed that's where the mount is already mounted) but I couldn't get a signal.... I've spent too much time on this, with little progress.. Any help out there?

If you show us a tvfool report for your location, maybe we can help a little more. What antenna did you buy?

Grounding OTA / Dish / CATV / Telecom - See Post 1
http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/15-h...-post-1-a.html
The coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC in US), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge, but the system will not survive a direct strike.
An Edmonton electrician could do the grounding, mount the antenna, and run the wires. Do a temporary setup of an antenna before deciding on a permanent location.
The Best Buy stores in Edmonton sell Antennas Direct antennas and might have installers.
