How easy is it to rotate the antenna?  We were only to get one channel sort of this year and even that was very spotty even though we were in a town with several television stations (Springfield, IL).

For all those that are having poor TV reception, have you tried rotating the antenna?

Believe it or not you can rotate the antenna on top of the unit, although you need a ladder to reach it on the roof.

Welcome to the group! Smile  Sorry about the issue.  Does it do it even in areas where reception is very good?

Make sure the antenna amplifier is on, look for a small button where the TV antenna is plugged into the pod.

Ours has been OK.  A couple camp grounds we were not able to get a station, but no one else did either.  In one we had nearly 40 stations.  With the tiny display it is hard to watch except from bed, but it works.  I am getting a small boom box that runs on batteries for when we don't have AC.
