Do I need an outside antenna to pick up channel 12 digital?

I'm in Maine but try this website: http://antennaweb.org After plugging in your zip I'd say probably not. There are plans to make your own antenna on the web if you do need a little more signal. A cheap inline amp sometimes works wonders, indoor or out. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GE-In-line-...Signal_Amplifiers_Filters&hash=item35c471ce94

At around 20 something miles, you could probably get away with an indoor antenna placed near the southeast corner of the house.

8 (PBS), 10 (FOX) and 12 (NBC) are all on VHF Hi so if you can get one you should get the others

That makes total since to me, but here in Phoenix, I'm getting no NBC, channel 12 signal...all others are great, bummed.

Do you have any commercial FM close to you? Yes?** Try an FM trap. RS Catalog #: 15-024 near the television.
Something else to try: Make a 2 or 3 turn loop in the coax a foot or so from the television, about 6 inch diameter, as it may attenuate any interfering RF getting to the TV via the outside conductor. Ground the coax to the houses ground before it enters. Ground block
nd always make the coax run as straight as possible. No bundle of excess stuffed into a corner.
May have to do all steps above if it's really strong, and even all that may not be successful. How is 11 working at a neighbors?
Try a different television.

**Looking at http://www.ontheradio.net/ appears there are quite a few within 5 to 20 miles. FM 2nd harmonic is probably the problem. (disclaimer -But I can't guarantee it, or a solution -)
