I just pulled my new Probrand Digitalstream HD3150 receiver out of the box two nights ago and hooked it up to an old Terk TV-3 indoor antenna. In moments I was receiving my local NBC, FOX, CBS, ABC, WB and PBS digital signals. Hooray!
Admittedly, I must occasionally "coax" the rabbit ears to maintain an acceptable signal on some of these channels, so it's not perfect.
All the digital stations in my locale are UHF.
I bouught a UHF only outdoor antenna from Radio Shack, and plan to mount it in my attic.
Does anyone see a flaw in this plan? Any common "gotchas" to be mindful of?
