A couple of years ago I made a DIY digital antenna that I saw on YouTube. Was sceptical at first, less than $10 in hardware and wire coat hangers. Fun little project tho. Had 7 channels with small store bought antenna, got 11 with my antenna. A year later I made one twice as big (about four feet long), got 23 channels routinely, 27 on clear nights. Like I said, fun DIY project, the most difficult part was finding the sweet spot on the roof.

Oddly enough, my Trek antenna works best with one prong straight up and the other two angled back.

I have a pretty high entertainment center(over five feet) and it just sits on top of that, facing the bay window.

My reception use to stop at 58.3, but now it goes to 58.8

The new movie channel(M!) is 58.8, and it looks like they like to run their “Definitive” movies on Saturday night.

Also, a lot of the channels(Justice Network, Court TV, MeTV, M!) have their TV schedules on line.
