This is a VHF HIGH and UHF antenna, so it doesn't receive channels 2 through 7 (VHF LOW). But very few stations actually use VHF LOW these days. For example, in the Indianapolis area, we have Ch 6 that shows as (virtual) 6.1, but their physical channel # is 25. Of around 100 channels within 80 or so miles, not one is VHF LOW anymore. If your TV scanned for channels, and whatever is supposed to be on 3 isn't there, you might have one of the few VHF LOW stations still around. You can check a website like Rabbitears dot info for a very detailed list of your areas stations. Only if your ch. 3 is actually above 7, could the mast height be the problem, but there are a LOT of possibilities. ... Good luck to you. :)

That very good anten. Try to move hang to another place. So you can get any channels.

The mast is just a metal rod on which to mount your antenna. To get more channels, you need a big antenna. The mast is just part of the mounting hardware--it is not part of the antenna itself.

If you can get it to work, it will give you your local channels, I can't get mine to work

Mine CH 18, and need more for different channels. How do I instruct AMAZON, or whomever necessary thru them, to send me different frequencies, so have units operate separately ? I bought 1st unit to test, and works great, but need others on different channels.

If you receive local channels at home. You may not get them in other startes

it didn't work for me. Poor reception on a couple channels. Was able to get PBS only. None of the local channels would come in. I probably am in a bad reception location. I haven't had any luck with ANY inside antennas

Don't stop your cable or satellite subscription until after you have successfully tried this alternative. Others have answered the basic process of doing the channel search on antenna and/or cable. Good luck.

I also get local channels from Dish. This unit will still get any off air channels within range including the ones on dish

Sorry meant could not pick up any VHF channels. A lot of VHF stations broadcast their HD signals on a UHF signal.

We love it. It works quite well for us. We get about 20 local channels. But it will depend on your location, obviously. There are some hills, many trees, and a few overpasses between us and the local TV stations. Only stations with strong signals or medium signals to you will be available. You should be able to find how many stations will be available to you here: http://transition.fcc.gov/dtv/markets/.

I had to use a directional antenna to get my local channels. I live 15 miles from the TV tower. I never used this TV on cable.

I am sure you can buy another antenna. However, the antenna included is a small one already compared to others. Good luck!

It depends. High VHF are the most difficult (typically PBS) and Mohu are the first to admit that is a major problem. Go to TVTitan.com, antennaweb.com, TVFool.com, and FCC which offer tools to tell you what you can expect. Sorry, the FCC one is very good [best?], but the URL is impossible! Look for antenna, digital conversion ...

Well, I just ordered a coaxil cable two-way splitter (listen to the techie here, lol!) The guy at Best Buy told me to somehow get the antenna hooked into the recorder/player AND the tv. He said we didn't need that channel 3. Wish me luck. I just may have something. I'll let you know! - Linda

I live in a long valley. The antenna only worked in one location for us and that was not in the area where we have TV. I live about 10 miles east of San Francisco so many stations should be available. We decided to stay with comcast for now. Wish I could return my Walltenna. Charles
