Tuner gain and sensitivity is probably my issue here.They dont make them like they used too.They probably said "Why Bother"Most sets will be on cable.I used to receive about 7 to 12 locals when analog was up and running.Now I receive zero.
That scanning BS is for the birds. Today's Radio tuners suck too.thats another topic. |

Unless you live in an area cut off from local TV signals by mountains, etc. you should be able to receive a few DTV stations with an antenna. I live in a low-elevation area (610 feet ASL, above sea level) some 35 miles from the Cleveland TV transmitters and get excellent reception on all but two stations, using amplified rabbit ears (the two stations I don't get still operate on VHF DTV channels). The only way you can get TV reception on your old analog sets is to get cable and connect it directly to the TV. This will work until your local cable provider tells you you need a cable box to receive anything, as Comcast has done already and Time Warner will be doing in the near future (in fact, every cable operator in the U.S. except TW is fully digital), or else use a converter box and an antenna.
