    Hey Guys,

    I have cable in most rooms but one room needs this over the air digital box. I can't get channel 2 to show up no matter how I position the antenna. For a while i wasn't getting 13 either but I did enough position changes to get that to show up. Any suggestions? DO I have to get a powered antenna?

    Powered antenna sounds like the right call; but I would also have the digital reciever do a once-over of all the channels on your set to see if Channel 2 is coming in somewhere else. You could probably also try some different positioning for the set/antenna.

    I'll ask some of our engineers at the station and see if they have any answers for you. What area of town do you live?

    What type of antenna are you using?

    Have you tried using a homemade antenna?

    although it's not a nice, this is the method i've used for a couple of years.

    two antennas, and an rf splitter(combiner).

    i use the same model antennas, although i think using two that are different would work as well.
