This antenna isn't picking up any stations. Could solar window tint be causing the problem?

Janet, did you after connecting the coax cable, then AUTO-TUNE your TV? That is, go to the settings where it searches / tunes the broadcast channels? It's a necessary step, taking maybe 2-3 min. (Sorry if my info insults, just want to be sure you completed the entire set up process!)

My antenna is working well. I need to move it around, upside down, high, to findthe best link to the stations.

No. I ended up putting on a Pair of Rabbit Ears I had in a dusty box in the garage, they worked best for me. You can get them on ebay for $5.

theoretically the window tent could make a difference but it would be negligible. This antenna didn't work for me either.

Have you tried removing the antenna? That is about the only thing I can figure might help with that particular model. I have had a similar issue because it picks up some of my local stations and throws me off but without the antenna it seemed a bit better.

Greg, I heard of the problem and the attempt fix. Inside there is a tail that is the antenna that may have too much plastic covering on it that needs taken back alittle off the bare wire to expose it to let the radio wave through. Check it out and see! You've got to take the black cover off to expose the black antenna covered with black plastic and attached on one end. Pull the loose end out and cut off some off the plastic and hang it out when you put the black cover back with the arrow towards the green props. Then screw in the 4 screws back with the antenna hanging out. Good luck! Jerry

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck!

I too had same problem, so purchased a hd antenna. Now able to pickup many channels. Good luck.

Place the antenna as high as you can and the wings of the antenna should be perpendicular to the towers your trying to pick up... you may need an antenna with more elements... I have been using a roof top or attic antenna and picking up 40 in St Pete....my girl friend closer to the stations by 4 miles has rabbit ears...about the same power as this thing and sometimes gets 1 ! Trees, humidity in the air, rain, disturbances and the sun going down ionizing the atmosphere will decrease the signals. I sent the one like this back.

Make sure when you are scanning for channels your TV is on air and not cable. Your antenna should be facing the window. Just keep moving it around until your channels start coming in. Good luck!

You can just try it and then check the device afterwards. As long as your lights are all green then you are fine. If any of the lights are red then you should move the inside antenna to a different location. The lights must be green.

The antenna needs to be placed high next to a window. Make sure that all connections are snuggly tight.

Haven't tried. Ours are all mounted in vehicles. I think Wilson makes a window antenna though that might help.

I had the exact same thing happen recently. It worked great for around a month, then the channels were gone all of a sudden. I tried my old crappy antenna again and that worked better than the Leaf Plus. Did you guys return yours? Thinking of doing that.

Myself just removed the over the air antenna and used extincting hole. Hope this helps

I had the same problem and replacing the antenna corrected the streaming. I was able to change volume and programs and the blue LED would light up but no streaming. I heard a pop when I was pulling the loop over my head. Checked and there was no continuity (internal break) in the antenna. New antenna fixed my streaming problem.

This is a directional antenna. You need to have a window with southern exposure and you need a clear site toward tower with no buildings or huge trees in line with the tower. If you have an eastern or western window and can point the antenna in a southerly direction, it may work. With my application I was able to pick up stations 25-30 miles away but had no obstructions and was able to aim antenna directly at towers.

I bought the same junk. Mine doesn't work either. I am not climbing a 50' tower to bring it down and send back. Amazon has been no help in this matter. I refuse to order any more merchandise from Amazon due to their not caring attitude for long service customers. The antenna is just plastic junk never designed to work properly. Many of us have been fooled.

Make sure the red light is on, on the antenna. If the red light is on it is getting power. Try unplugging the device for a minute then plug it back in.

This is a hard question to answer without testing. I have a Terk that works on some channels and not on others. In my area even a change in weather can change the signal level. Where the antenna is located in the house and what is in the way of the line to the station can reduce the signal level. If the signal received by the antenna is too low no amp will help. The best thing to do is get an amp and try. The Winegard I got did not work out of the box, it made some of the channels that worked not work.
