it will not pick up VHF channels with a tower within 2 miles of my home and no tall buildings, seems to work for UHF. but if you want both buy something else!

I haven't had any problems with mine at all. Make sure your antenna is up. Be sure both are set to the same channel and make sure you are within range. Best wishes. I hope it works for you because I absolutely love mine. It none of the above suggestions work maybe it's defective. Return it and request another one. It's worth it but sorry about your troubles.

I ended up returning mine as I could not hardly get any of my local channels to come in. It may have something to do with the newer televisions work the best receiving digital signals so if the channels you are trying to get to come in are not strong enough the TV set may just agnor the weak signal.

I'm at the outer edge of 30 miles between both Portland and Manchester(Farmington,N.H).Nothing at all.Tried it at a friends house in east rochester and got a few channels from each of the two broadcasting areas.

Just choose a channel that local radio doesn't use. They are all the same quality.

When you hooked it up also check your placement and adjust it a few times in different directions.Each adjustment you make you may have to re-scan the channels. I also found that the gain can be adjusted up or down to get maximum channel also. I found ths to be a geat antenna. Hope this helps!

Make sure you have power to the antenna, and then rotate it 90 degrees and do a channel search. Do a channel search every 90 degrees until you have went 360 degrees. I know it says Omni-directional but it does have a blind spot. If you still can't get a good signal your to far away from the stations or the antenna is defective.

we get all the channels except local channels, in RV we get all channels and the local channels. At next location, you will get all channels and the new location local channels. My reception is great but dish gave me 7 different #'s to use and finally spent $95. for a tech to set up.

Check the locations of broadcasting sites in your area, and then see if you cannot get a bearing on them through a window. In many cases all the locals will be on the same hilltop, and the Terck doesn't have to be *near* the window, just AIMED through it towards the broadcasters. There should be a webpage for "broadcast television stations" for your area, and will give you bearings from your location. I don't have direct experience with the siding issue, so that may be a sticking point.

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 ...

Raise the antenna. Maybe purchase an external antenna and plug it into the antenna slot.

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!

More than likely, yes. We're between Granbury and Paluxy and West of the Peak and we get all the major channels plus the addition of several others. We have our antenna mounted on a mast above the chimney on a second mast on a rotator motor, so we can adjust its direction from in the house. We also bought a preamplifier and are very happy! We have about 37 channels. Signal reception is "line-of-sight", which means if you are on a hill ike we are and have other hills, trees or buildings in the way, it can affect the reception you get. We have never had cable and don't want it! This is what I would suggest. This should work for Stephenville too. More than likely, yes.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I am wondering the same thing - did you ever find an antenna that works? Thanks!
