FL-5000 did not find any new stations?

Hi

I just got my FL-5grand, and it found all the stations I normally get, but no new ones? I was using an El Cheapo indoor Antenna before. Whats up?

Using a different antenna does not automatically equate to different performance.

If you are in a region where your TV signals are strong, it does not take an expensive/hi gain antenna to present a good signal to your TV. All you need is one that is 'good enough'. Anything better and you will not notice any improvement.

If you are in a region where your TV signals are weaker, then you will notice differences in antenna performance.

The Fl is rated as a 0-25 mile antenna, similar to other indoor antennas that Winegard sells. I do not see how this will outperform most indoor antennas on the market.

Performing a check of possible stations in your viewing area using TVFool.com will predict what stations you could receive with certain antenna types.

Thank you Tom, I somehow was thinking Id get a few more channels. But on the bright site, most have improved visually
