They are approx. (70 to 90) miles away for their towers. I know some of the HD is VHF and most is UHF (http://www.antennasdirect.com/HDTV_station_lists.html) Is this feasible with an outdoor antenna? I am sure I need a tower. Are there companies that still install towers? I am trying to do some homework before I try something I might regret. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you |

I just recently purchased a Sony 32" HDTV LCD. In the area I live in (Hillsboro OR.) the receiver picked up 40 some Digital Channels. But when I put my TV on these channels the Picture breaks up or sometimes I loose the Single. Do I need to purchase a Digital Antena? & if so what do you recomend? & how is it set up? |

New member Username: Jayko7, Post Number: 2 Registered: Jan-08 | Neither, the TV is hooked uped to Comcast Cable. During the set up it searched for Regular Cable Channels then Digital channels. That is why I was wondering, if I hooked up an Indoor Antenna, would it help with the reception of those channels? Thank You George |
