I MUST purchase a powered antenna?
(I have another TV that I bought a digital (powered) antenna and it works so-so ... perhaps because I am not using an outside, (high ?) antenna in my rural SW Pa. location?)
I get 5 channels .. 7.1, 7.2 ... 9,1, 9.2 and 9.3
Not saying you will have to buy a new antenna just saying you might have too. I say build it and see if it works. They are great to put behind wall mounted TV’s.
My TV set has a knob that I pull out to turn the set on and push in to turn it off. Volume is controlled with a twist of the knob.
After the June switch to digital, with the roof antenna for my apartment complex I got only two English language stations, and the antenna will not be upgraded.
My TV has rabbit ears. I put a wire hanger around the rabbit ears and a small unbent paper clip into the antenna plug on the converter box. I adjusted the paper clip so that it touches the wire hanger, and, voila, I now get the regular seven English channels I did before the original digital switch, plus a few more English channels, as well as some Spanish channels.
