I figured some fellow thrifty shoppers may be found here to help with my problem.
I have been running a plain "rabbit ears" antenna for a Zenith converter box hooked to an old tube type smaller TV. I pulled in all of the somewhat local channels with not much problem.
As the new DVD players don't easily work with this combo I bought a new twenty-two inch RCA flat screen LCD TV with a DVD built right in. The TV "found" all of the channels I had before but can only produce a picture on the screen for half of the channels.
I don't want to try to establish an outdoor antenna.
Have any of you had a positive experience using a powered or boosted antenna set up? The only ones I have been around in the past were for AM/FM radio signals and never had much luck getting a better signal with them.
