DTV rescan finds a number of numbers changes

Is there a good UHF element on your antenna? You've mentioned all VHF
channels. Many people forget that "channel 5" is now really "channel 20". I
had rabbit ears with just a simple UHF loop before I got a digital TV. It
didn't really pull in the digital stations. I bought an amplified and very
directional multi-element indoor UHF antenna and now digital comes in fine
in Andover.

I hate this. I'm in the Merrimack Valley and I can't get a thing on my DTV
converter boxes. On analog I've always had great signals for 7, 9, and
11 and somewhat usable signals (snowy, but watchable) on 4, 5, 6, 8, 13 and
sometimes 10.

I have a rooftop antenna (which was there when I bought the house 10 years
ago) and I have tried three different internal/amplified antennas over the
past few months but I get nothing at all on the DTV boxes.
