Is anyone else not able to pick up ABC (in BR) over an antenna? We're able to pick up every other channel, but ABC (2.1) is just saying "no signal". If anyone knows how to get it working, please let me know.

- It is digital. I tried calling, haven't found a way to get in touch with a live person yet.

1. Find out where the ABC station is physically located.
2. Set up antenna so that the disc/circle part is perpendicular to a line from your tv to the Baton Rouge ABC station

So - you got a time machine to work but can't use the TVs now that you're there?

Their signal is pretty weak. You need to get a decent antenna and not some $20 POS. I have one of those big old-school antennas but I installed it in the attic.

ETA: It's still just enough to get a signal.

we're getting the broadcast just fine on ABC 2.1

Try repositioning the antenna, then run an auto scan to find channels. you still got an hour. good luck!

Digital HD Antenna. Not the cheap $30 one on Amazon. Spring for the $70 one that looks like a sattelite

I use Dish Network but local channels are down in central NC. No signal. Every other channel is working.
