Go to Screen 47 of the DTV Converter Box On-Screen Installation Guide and use the resident GPS to correctly align your antenna for each channel (allowing for local ionospheric conditions) and ARRRGGGHH!

If that’s true, then why can’t we get a signal and why should we have to buy a better antenna to recieve the signal? We were told that all we had to do was buy the converter box and we would get the channels. It wasn’t until after we bought the box and it didn’t work that we were told we would have to spend more money just to be able to get the “FREE” channels we were getting before this big switch. How much money does the government expect us to pay to get the channels we were getting and why say the channels are free when they really aren’t. In this economy, do they really expect us to pay a couple hundred dollars on an antenna and pre-amp when its hard enough to pay the bills and mortgage and still put food on the table for our children? I know i can’t afford that kind of expense for something that’s supposed to be “FREE”.
