Well, what are you using as an antenna, where is it placed (e.g., on the roof, in the attic, on top of your TV), and where are you.

There are websites (TV fool, for example) where you can enter your location, and it will show the direction and signal strength of TV stations in your area.

However, just because the signal is strong does not itself assure good reception. DTV favors outdoor antennas (actually designed under the presumption that a directional antenna 10m (33') off the ground would be in use).

To succeed with an indoor antenna, you almost need to have the indoor antenna behind a window that faces the transmitter sites. You may get away with going through walls if your exterior is wood or vinyl, but brick or stucco (because it has a metal wire mesh inside) will cause trouble, unless you can use a window facing the transmitters or put the antenna in the attic.
