Hello All:
I live on the south side of South Bend Indiana.
I would like to pick up the HD in Chicago. They are approx. (70 to 90) miles away for their towers. I know some of the HD is VHF and most is UHF (http://www.antennasdirect.com/HDTV_station_lists.html)
Is this feasible with an outdoor antenna?
I am sure I need a tower.
Are there companies that still install towers?
I am trying to do some homework before I try something I might regret.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you |

I get channels 65 miles away with an old antenna in the attic fine. I use a booster, but I don't know if I actually need one or not. |

Hi, I am new to this so if I am asking a ? that has already been asked please direct me to the right place.
I just recently purchased a Sony 32" HDTV LCD. In the area I live in (Hillsboro OR.) the receiver picked up 40 some Digital Channels. But when I put my TV on these channels the Picture breaks up or sometimes I loose the Single. Do I need to purchase a Digital Antena? & if so what do you recomend? & how is it set up? |

Neither, the TV is hooked uped to Comcast Cable. During the set up it searched for Regular Cable Channels then Digital channels.
That is why I was wondering, if I hooked up an Indoor Antenna, would it help with the reception of those channels?
Thank You
