The Problems With DTV

So I've had my DTV converter box for about a month now because I don't have cable or direct tv, and since then I have had problems with the signal. I don't really know if it has to do with the weather or not. First off, Sometimes the show I'll be watching will be scrambled. Also, I can't get channel 9 in at all. Which sucks because I am not able to watch the old episodes of Scrubs. I don't like to go online to watch tv. So if anybody knows anything about this sort of thing, comment me back.

I assume you're using rabbit ears for antenna, you'll need a UHF or HDTV (those are marketed for HDTV so they'll be a bit more money) to improve your picture...

ultimately your best bet / signal would be to put an antenna on the roof, like the kind you can buy from rat shack or fry's.

Your box will probably have a signal strength meter / indicator this will give clues as to why you're having problems.

Luna, A few hours after I finally saw your IM, I found this deal pop up in my reader:

http://dealnews.com/Philips-Silver-Sensor-Indoor-HDTV-Antenna-for-10-7-s-h/229733.html

It might do the trick. Just don't buy one from best buy or you'll end up with the *monster* edition that will be 5 times the price!
