I made the switch to PSVue and we love it, no complaints there but with football right around the corner I'm concerned about CBS. I figured, I'd just get an antenna and be done with it but I can't get CBS at all. Hell I couldn't get any channels on it.

I went to the leaf site and it says even with the largest antenna they offer I couldn't get CBS.

I'm well within 50 miles of the tower I'm just stuck behind a "mountain" so I think the terrain is effecting it.

Any antenna tips I should try, or is there another way to catch CBS games? They stream them online?

Are you in BR?

I don't get CBS with the Leaf antenna either unless I put it by a window.

However, WAFB appears on my PS Vue guide. I can watch it through there. I don't see why NFL wouldn't play on that channel.

try a different antenna. i didn't have good results with mohu products. i had the mohu curve and got very few stations. switched to a regular radioshack brand that was amplified, rated for 50 or 60 miles, and omni-directional. i catch everything now, but honestly CBS can still be choppy at times. when it's choppy, i watch it on PSVue.

Better antenna, higher mounting location for the antenna you have, Hulu TV, or change you location in Vue to the closest major market ( Link).

I'm just south of Birmingham if that helps. I bought some cheap antenna from prime day. It's basically a sheet of paper but says it gets 60 miles.

Any recommendations for something else? I'd have to run it from the attic down to the the I guess.

If you happen to have Verizon, the NFL Mobile app is free, and it streams NFL games.

Couldn't care less about NFL, only concerned with the CBS 2:30 games for college.

That and the inevitable LSU Bama prime time CBS double feature.

You can try to set your location in PSVue to a zip code in the Montgomery/Selma viewing area.

I prefer the old school spider looking ones but you should install any antenna you get in the attic if possible.
