I am over 50 miles from Atlanta and can not get a signal.
Look up “Gray-Hoverman antenna”. If you ever have an afternoon free for a DIY project-$20, 2 hrs.
(They sell them too.)
It’s very simple and cheap and is a breakthrough in antennas.
I’m in the mountains getting stations 50 miles away. Don’t even have it on a pole, just hanging from the eave of the house.
We have property in N. Alabama and we pick up most Atlanta stations with a digital antenna like this: http://www.amazon.com/Antennas-Direct-DB2-Directional-Antenna/dp/B000EHUE7I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1283975199&sr=8-2
We are in the same boat as you with our internet up there though, we are using a data card with our computer and a wagi antenna to pick up a cell phone signal. That is about $30 a month but unreliable.
