First things first...my report:
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...5b94751c0b2870
As you can see, I am ~30 miles from the Philly towers. Line of sight is not an issue as our development is only 10 years old. Wife and have finally decided to cut the cord. Being the impatient type, I grabbed an ANT751 since my local Best Buy had 2 in stock for the same price as Amazon. Right now it is sitting on my halfway in my living room and pointing towards the back of the house and I am watching the SF/Carolina game on Fox with 90% signal.
When I performed the initial scan, I picked up 40 channels. All I really care about though are the majors and they all come in at 90%+ with my current jury rig (with some tinkering). However, ABC does not want to cooperate. I have yet to see a signal.
Once I move the antenna outside (+20 ft up) and dial in with a compass, should ABC be good to go? Do you guys see anything else I may need...a pre-amp or maybe even a different style antenna?
TIA for the help!
