Well, I have just the opposite experience, since last we were talking about it. I put off doing anything until the last few weeks before the switch over. Then I went to Radio Shack and talked to the guy there, he recommended several options. The first thing he said was buy a new UHF/VHF antenna, second was buy a taller mast and last buy a signal booster. Well I bought the antenna first at a cost of $85, there was a cheaper one for $69, I put it together, put it up. Low and behold that took care of the problem and my reception went from crapy to unbelievable. I now pick up more than double the channels I picked up before and awesome reception. The guy told me that raising the antenna with a 15ft mast would also help but I don't need to do that now. The final piece of the puzzle is a booster if all else fails. If you guys have a Radio Shack in your area I would suggest you pay them a visit, they might just be able to help you too[]!
