Has anyone had any success with amplified antennas? My wife MUST be able to watch WPVI or I'm sure her life will be a total wreck. http://www.dtvusaforum.com/images/smilies/violin.gif

Some of us have had success with amplified antennas, but what works for one person, will not result in success for another person. Amplified antennas can sometimes be worse than non-amplflied depending on conditions.

I would suggest starting a new thread in the reception forum with your TV Fool results. You may need an outdoor antenna depending on how far away from broadcast towers and if you are line of sight.
