I'm in Glendale, CA and not one channel comes through with this antenna or rabbit ears. Only 11 miles away from broadcast antennas. Anyone know why?

Google online how to check your tower in your area it might be too far away for you to get certain channels

This antenna only gets channels above CH 13. It will not get channels below that spectrum. The antenna is total junk...sent it back and install a good digital antenna up on the roof if you are able to. I live 60 miles away from the Empire State Building and I do not get anything broadcast from there....just five local channels ....three English ( TV 55, Get TV and Escape TV plus two Spanish)...digital antennas just a few miles away. I bought this antenna as a back up if my cable goes out.

Depending on your tv you might have to use your remote to turn on the tv then hit menu and do a channel search. Depending on where you live you still might not get all channels. I live in Peoria AZ and am not able to get channel 5 -CBS using this antenna.

This antenna works like the old TV antennas known as "rabbit ears", except it is made for the newer digital channels and HDTV. The antenna uses the coax cable antenna input on the TV. My guess is that it will work great no matter where you live or what brand of TV you have, as long as the TV has the correct antenna input and you live close enough to the TV station's antenna to receive the signal. I live in the Phoenix metro area and this antenna works great about 10 miles from the station antennas. I have tried this antenna with Mitsubishi and JVC TV's with excellent results. I hope this helps. This antenna works like the old TV antennas known as "rabbit ears", except it is made for the newer digital channels and HDTV.

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.

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.

Make sure the connections are secure and proper and the antenna is elevated high enough, this antenna works on line of sight,if there are obstructions (hills, trees , buildings etc.) it will not work as well as planned. Did you also research the programming available to you in your area? You should go to "titantv.com" and enter your zip code and see what is available in your area. My antenna still works great after several years and I do recommend it. Good Luck.

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 thought the reception was pretty good with rabbit ears (in the city), though some shifting and orienting may be necessary for particular channels. No A/D (analogue to digital, I assume) converter was needed, and so never tested.

This antenna was very marginal for me with a station located about 30 miles away. Once in a while it would be ok (depending on atmospheric conditions, etc.) but mostly unwatchable. My local station 10 miles away was just fine. Finally decided that satellite TV is the way to go for more than one station.In my opinion, if your stations are 50 miles away, the only way to go would be a high quality roof antenna.HD is not an issue since most stations are digital and broadcasting it by default now.

If your connections are good, you are probably on the edge of the reception area. Mounting the antenna higher and outside (if in the attic) will help. Go to antennaweb.org to see if the station you are trying to get is in range. If you are using a splitter for more than one TV, a multi-port distribution amplifier will also help. This is a good antenna for people that live in an area where the TV stations are in different directions i.e. 45 degrees are more. If all your stations are within 20 degrees a directional antenna will do better for distance stations. Hope this is useful.

Be glad you didn't get the Haier. I received mine Friday and I have been unable to get but only one channel and it isn't even clear. I saw other reviewers complaining about this but I thought that since I live in a metropolitan area that I wouldn't have any problems. Boy was I wrong. I am returning the Haier today and will try the Axion as I think the extra antenna they provide will do the trick.

I don't know about you, but mine brings in all the weird channels as well as the networks. I live 17 miles in a straight line from the local broadcast towers. When it's windy outside, sometimes a station will not come in. Also during rainstorms. You should go to antennaweb.org, where you input your address and they tell you what kind of antenna should work for you. I've found the flat antenna works a little better than a more 3-dimensional one, but your mileage may vary. Amazon's return policy is pretty liberal though. If it doesn't work for you, they'll take it back. Just be gentle with the packaging. I don't know about you, but mine brings in all the weird channels as well as the networks.

I can't tell you, channel 2 may be different in your area. I receive ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW, and PBS with great reception on all of them. You may want to call the station directly and ask them what the signal range is and compare that with your distance for the broadcast tower.

This antenna is for UHF and VHF HIGHThere's low VHF (2 thru 7) and high VHF (8 thru 13). Very few stations actually still broadcast in the low VHF range, even if the channel you tune to is 2 through 7 (For example, my (virtual) ch. 6-1 is actually ch. 25 in the digital tuning.) Check a site like RabbitEars dot info for a list of your area's stations. As far as the distance, as long as the stations aren't using seriously weak transmitters, you shouldn't have any problems, but a bunch of things come into play. (Mast height, cable/coax quality and length, physical and geographic obstacles, and my latest problem, RF interference from other electronics.)
