I can only receive CBS in HD... Please Help!

The only local channel that I can receive in HD is CBS. NBC, WGN, WFLD (Fox) appear blank or as a black screen. Those channels wont give me any signal, but CBS looks great. I live in a condo and there's an antenna in the attic, would do you recommend I do without me having to go in and replace the antenna. I live on the 1st floor of a three story condo.

Guessing from the WGN lisiting you are in the Chicago metro area.
Not knowing exactly where you are in relationship to the broadcast towers, I figure you may need a to point the antenna at the different towers to rceive a signal.
Go to these spots to get your bearings www.antennaweb.org and to www.titantv.com.
You do not mention ABC?

By any chance is NBC a VHF and the rest UHF. It also may be that you do not have a UHF antenna but VHF only.

Those are my guesses
good luck

On my Hughes STB, CBS is getting a signal strength of 75 out of 100. Fox is only getting 20 out of 100, NBC is getting 0 signal, and ABC is getting a 7 out of 100. How could CBS be so strong and the others are so low? I'm 12 miles from the broadcasting towers which are on the 2 tallest buildings in Chicago. What can I do without going into the attic to change the antenna? I'm in a condo so I really dont want to mess with it.
