If that’s an amplified antenna that might be the problem. When channels went to digital, something about my old amplifier was not compatible. I bypassed the amplifier, then my outdoor antenna worked great again. I also had a Radio Shack indoor antenna just like that but couldn’t get more than 1 digital channel so I tossed it out. I got better results with a bare bones rabbit ears with digital.

Any better or worse than others? Chicago Transmitters are about 35 miles away over lake Michigan (Antenna will be used in Indiana). It looks like on Amazon they're listed by mile range, is that accurate? Do amplified antennas really work better, or is it just a gimmick? I'm using an ancient radio shack antenna now that has a hoop and rabbit ears and an unmarked dial of some purpose. I can pickup about 3 channels out of Chicago if it's set at just the right place, and you stand on one leg, with one arm extended. [adioShack UHF/VHF/FM Amplified Indoor Antenna Cat. No. 15-1838] Would a new antenna do any better than this one?
