I am at work and trying to aim a really basic RCA antenna. It's got a UHF loop on it, I can get 40% on WTTW and it comes in great, but I can't get any other digital channels only WTTW.

Using tvfool.com, I put in my address and EVERYTHING is 59 degrees, EVERYTHING and I can only get WTTW. 18.3 miles away

All I want is to watch the football game, does anyone have any suggestions? I've got a step ladder onto op the cubicals right now, the antenna is at 6' from the floor and I had to do that to get WTTW.

thank you!

What kind of a building are you in? If it's steel reinforced concrete, good luck. The building where I work is like that and I cant even get FM radio from a tower less than 15 miles away. Is there any way to get the antenna by a window facing the towers? Better yet, outside?

You need an outdoor antenna or a better indoor antenna to get anything at that distance. Im afraid rabbit ears wont work as well.

THANKS FOR VISITING!
