Subscribe to cable. There is only so much you can pull out from the air,
unless you can expand your antenna system. Using more amplification will
only increase noise, if the signal is not good to begin with.

I live in Riverside, CA (about 50 miles east of Los Angeles).
I do NOT have a cable system nor a satellite ("dish") system.
Except for small "dish"-type antennas, the condo-rules allow
"yagi"-type antennas only in the attic of each house. But, knowing how
much signal is lost by attic-installation, my Terk TV38 antenna is
laying on a flat roof (so it's not too conspicuous to the condo-board).
A coax cable runs across the roof for 15 feet, goes down 4 feet into
the attic and is connected to a Radio Shack signal amplifier. A coax
cable then goes from the amplifier, through the attic for about 30 feet
to the TV set.
Here are the channels I get:
Note: KVCR 24's tower has a compass orientation of 51 degrees and is 9
miles from my house. The towers for all of the other channels have a
compass orientation of 287 degrees and are 43 miles from my house.
Call Sign Network Channel Picture Quality *
KCBS CBS 2 F
KNBC NBC 4 G
KTLA WB 5 E
KABC ABC 7 E
KCAL IND 9 F
KTTV FOX 11 P
KCOP UPN 13 P
KVCR PBS 24 P
KCET PBS 28 F
KOCE PBS 50 E
KDOC IND 56 G
KLCS PBS 58 E
* Reception ratings:
E = excellent (crystal clear)
G = slight snow
F = moderate snow
P = can't see picture
Any suggestions on what I can do to get better reception?
