hey guys I was wondering if someone could help me with choosing which antenna I need to pull in my locals here is what i get with antennaweb http://wizardsarcade.com/antennaweb.png

I have a RCA ANT706A http://www.amazon.com/RCA-ANT706A-In...263590&sr=1-11 antenna mounted to my roof and I get a signal strength of 96 so that should be a great signal but for some reason I lose Channel 17.1 & 17.2 (WXMI) and others flicker out. Could it be my receiver that I use to receive the OTA signal? I have a VOOM HD Receiver with the activated OTA module.

Also is there anyway to receive a broadcast from outout your normal area? I would like to find a way to receive a channel that is broadcasted in L.A. called LA18 i think it is channel 18 for that area.

Now we need WHTV to go HD and Lansing's CW to get a separate transmitter so it isn't a digital sub.
