Fox Detroit HD 2.1 No Signal

[shoeheel]

With a cheesey pair of old rabbit ears, I get all the other Detroit area HD channels (ABC, NBC, CBS), but not Fox (2.1). Is there a technical reason for this? The Fox station is closer to me than the CBS station that comes in perfectly. I am around 20 miles from all the broadcast stations. Will a simple indoor antenna fix my Fox problem or am I missing something?

What sort of signal strength are you getting on 2.1? You can be very close to a station's transmitting antenna, but if the characteristics are all wrong, you may not get any signal. All depends on direction of antenna, nearby objects, signal bouncing, etc. I would think if you are that close, making some adjustments to the rabbit ears may help.

How do I tell what my signal strenght is? I have the antenna connected directly to my new Olevia HDTV, so I'm not real familiar with how to check it.

Use the Olevia's own signal strength meter. Most units with built in ATSC tuners have a signal strength meter.
