Digital TV Connection Problems
chelsea
Is anyone else without Cable TV who uses an indoor antenna having problems with Channel 2/CBS reception? I scanned the channels with the menu feature and have more channels than ever before with my new flat screen digital TV but no Channel 2/CBS. Any suggestions or are others having the same issue?

brooklynboundI was having problems with abc and called them up. You have to manipulate the rabbit ears. The best thing to do is to get an amplified antenna. -
chelseaI have an amplified antenna and I have manipulated the rabbit ears!
I'll try calling CBS tomorrow. What did ABC say? -
cupoclarki had the same problem. the signal seems to have changed names. Does your absent CBS channel have a name displayed on screen? My guess is the name displays as WCBS-HD. What you want is WCBSDT. However rescanning the channels fixed the problem for me. -
chelseaI'll try and rescan again. Is there anyway to tell it to give you a certain channel? What I see on Channel 2/CBS is blurry and has text scrolling across explaining how to use the converter box. I don't see a name -- it's too unclear. Thanks. -
dooI can't get WLIW (one of the PBS stations--I think channel 21). I never got it too well before, but I could at least see and hear it. Now, I can't get it at all. I've wondered if I'm the only one.
Edit: Here in Windsor Terrace, I get CBS and ABC perfectly. -
zpantsI got two coupons for the DTV transition when I thought I wasn't going to get cable. then i got it. if anyone needs one free please let me know privately! -
8thandprezWhat is this "antenna" of which you speak? -
mougarI get CBS 2-1 fine, unpowered antenna and no adjusting. It is right next to the window though and I'm on the fifth floor so it's unobstructed.
