Am I the only one that saw the Antennas Direct bus? They came to town for a "parking lot seminar" on the DTV switch. And they gave away 100 of new design antenna.

I have a UHF antenna. It is aimed at Bluefield. I don't know if it is 220 degrees or not but it's close. With analogue, I get a crystal clear picture.
I talked to Channel 6 and their digital signal is at full strength.
My converter box is showing zero signal. Surely, it should get something even if a weak one.
This is not as easy as they're making it sound.
Here is a link to UHF antennas. I have the Wineguard one. Dish intalled it for me free when they lost the distant networks.

Channel 6 also suggested I try a preamplifier. I am not spending another dime on this. I have the proper antenna. I have the converter box. I was led to believe that was all that was required so unless I get what I have to work then I guess I'll be missing the local news.
Today is supposed to be in the 50's so I'll take a look at the antenna and see if I can somehow jury rig it to rotate.
