Trouble is, you need a spectrum analyzer to aim the antenna. It's
not like analog where you can set the tv to a channel & turn the
antenna until you get the best picture. If the converter doesn't see
a signal when it does a scan, it doesn't know it exists. Not sure
how it works with digital-ready tvs.
