Angry about signal and converter boxes.

I'm having problems getting the signal I tried many antennas and the signal got lost suddenly . And it is annoying because I want to watch tv and not programing.
What's wrong with this b s of new programing.. I'm tired of this.
Is there any converter strong enough to get all the channels signal clear with out distortion.
If there some body that can tell some thing about it.

Is this pertaining to the 65 TV setup or another issue?

In order of importantance, and IMHO, these are the most important for reception.

1. antenna
2. antenna wire
3. antenna connections
4. digital tuner

What kind of antenna are you using, and enter your address information and post your TV Fool results here.

Yep, the DTV thing is to get everyone to buy new TV's OR subscribe to cable.

I have to constantly move my antenna to get even one or 2 channels, I no longer get the "normal" ABC & NBC channels, but 80% of the time I can get PBS (3 stations)

Did I tell you I have to turn (manually) the antenna on the roof to "fine tune" the PBS stations (nightly).

Did I tell you that sometimes that doesn't work either and I just have NO TV whatsoever.

What-ever. I guess I'll give up TV. I am NOT going to subscribe to cable and will not buy new TV's. It's not in my budget.

So, for those of us who got converter boxes......... the signals are just low enough where you get an in & out signal, pixelated and frozen to "nothing" picture and "frozen" voices.

I'm sure ABC, NBC and CBS all could boost their signals if they wanted to. But then people like me would be able to watch TV

I now watch DVD's at night and have no clue what is going on in the world unless I read it on the Internet.

OH WELL. At least I didn't have to pay for the boxes..... (much)
