I do a channel scan with the tv or converter box (if it's a non digital tv), then if I am receiving any channels, I tune into one and then rotate the antenna until you find the point that gives the best reception on that channel. In many cases the signal you just tuned in on will be coming from the nearest big town or city and now that your antenna is rotated in that direction you usually will have gained additional channels coming from that town. If I do a channel scan and still can't receive any channels, then rotate the antenna a little and do another scan. If after doing that severalattempts there still are no tv channels then it's probably an area with no accessible tv signals.

You can buy a newMini-State antenna fromSolid Signal, they are $124.79 plus shipping.This is the newest model with a wireless rotate control, the hard wired rotate control has been discontinued.

Wayne, how do you pick up the 8 channels? Do you rotate to get them, or get them all no matter where it is pointed? And if you rotate, how do you know where to point it?

The new Mini-state is supposed to be a digital antenna and bolts on where the old came off andthey still are rotating antennas. We spend timeat a lake in very rural area of northern Minnesota, in this location the new Mini-state canpick up 8 channels,a freind of mine with his new omnidirectionalantenna parked next to me can only ever pick up 1 channel.
