I'm looking to switch to DTVnow so I'm looking to get an HD Antenna for local channels (basically so I can watch Saints games). I live in Mandeville so I was wondering if the antenna signal would be able to pickup these games? Are these signals sent from New Orleans? Not sure how this works but I want to make sure I buy the right antenna.
TIA

It says zero channels are available. I live in the heart of Mandeville. How does that make sense?

Here is Mandeville

Antennaweb

Looks like you will need a Violet Antenna

quote:
A Large Directional Antenna with an Antenna Preamplifier is recommended for Violet color code areas. These are areas farthest from the TV station transmitting towers, and need the largest antennas and best preamplifiers to pick up TV signals effectively, which can be 60 miles or more from the TV station transmitter. TV antennas in the Violet color code area may also need to be installed on a tower or high rooftop to pick up distant channels.
