Can't get ABC - is there a way?

Postby debsnwc on Thu Feb 17, 2011 2:17 pm

I live in 70508 zip code area; I will be using the antennae for only 1 TV which is a LG 50" LED HD/Digital TV; live in a subdivision; no tress; no towers within 3-4 blocks; and no tall buildings. I did the analyze on this website and it said I would not get ABC and with my indoor antennae I can't get ABC and I actually only pull in like 5 channels total! Do I live too far out that I won't be able to get all the local channels ever? I want to quit paying for TV (dump Direct Tv, Cox, etc) but I need to be able to get all the network stations!! PLEASE help.

Your local ABC station comes off a tower next to the Fox, PBS, and CBS towers. It should be easy to pick up with the proper antenna that is in the right spot.

Place your indoor antenna in a north-west facing window (use an extension cable if needed) and try rescanning again.
