HD Reception in Maryland Heights Mo

[bryanroyer]

I have a digital TV and some converter boxes. The digital signal keeps cutting out. I can't get CBS at all on the big TV - which has power rabbit ears. The small TV, in a bedroom gets a little better reception with basic rabbit ears.
I have a 1 story, ranch house. The attic is about 4' high in the center. I have asbestos siding. There is a metal vent on each end of the attic. The house faces WSW.
I had an antennae at he south end of the house that I took down recently because it was a VHS only antenna. It did not seem to change the reception.
Can I put an antennae in the attic. Do you have any recommendations?

What is your zipcode?

Yes, an antenna in the attic will work for you. The right one is a Channel Master 4221 or another similar 4 bay UHF only. Don't consider an 8 bay, it won't work.

If you decide to put the CM4221 in the attic, keep it away from AC and heater ducting and horizonal pipe, conduit, etc.

Such things can cause reflections that will kill a digital signal.

Point 'er SE and enjoy.
