Do you have trouble getting TV antenna reception in Morgantown? I live on University Avenue, and I used to be able to get 3 stations with my set of rabbit ears, but for the past month or two I've struggled to get any reception at all.

The government was subsidizing the digital boxes needed just about anywhere for antenna reception these days, but I think the time is past. You can get the digital converter box you need at Radio Shack or CVS Pharmacy (at least they used to have them). Not certain about the cost but believe they are $40 or so and with it you can get all three channels. Ask at the Salvation Army. It is possible they might have had one donated that they can just give you.

Well then, you need to check antenna location and placement. Morgantown is a hilly town, and if you are in a low area that could have an effect. You might just have to opt for cable in some areas, but if you do, with a basic, low cost plan you will get all the Pittsburgh channels too.
