Antenna 2013 - Event Date: 23 Aug 2012 - 23 Sep 2012

Our new 2013 R-pod has a standard fixed antenna instead of  the previous round one. On our first trip we could nor receive any TV stations and were not in a very remote area. Any experience with this type of antenna?  

Thanks Keith, we did push the booster button, our light is red instead of green but still did not catch any signal...??? 

That's a good point with the channel scan I forgot to bring up, every time we go to a new location we have to do a channel scan

There's plenty of times that we get 0 channels from the silly booster thing when we're camping.  I've been in campgrounds where my neighbor says they are picking up a few of the local channels and then we get nothing.

I agree, the digital system is ironically not as good as the old analog system.  For starters many stations went to lower power transmitters when they switched.  Also many moved from the VHF (2-13) to UHF channels which don't propagate (bounce) as well.  Finally, the dealer was right and where you could have watched a weak signal with "snow" with analog, digital just errors out and shows nothing.  A good antenna with good placement is critical for homes now and is very hit-or-miss with RVs.
