You could also try a 'Cleveland special' antenna. They were apparently used back in the day to pull in Cleveland stations while viewing from Lorain, etc.

Unless the cable system in your area is different, The DTV adaptor boxes will not receive anything from the cable. I inquired at Best-Buy if an adaptor box is available, that will. None available.
My RCA sets that were built in 2008 or newer will. That is, receive the DTV channels and subs that are available on cable.
