This antenna will reach it if you have a line of sight towards the CBS tower and aim the antenna accordingly..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Go to antennapoint.com and check to see which direction that station is from your house. Use a compass if you have to in order to put the antenna in the optimal direction. While you're on antennapoint, see if that station uses VHF. If it does, you may need a booster to help it out. The Clearstream 4 is good to 30 some miles in the VHF channels. UHF stations broadcast farther and these are picked up at the range found on the antenna box and web descriptions- they aren't entirely forthcoming about true ranges on the big picture ads.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I was missing 4 stations until completely facing the antenna the complete opposite direction than instructed. Now I am receiving all channels. If you haven't tried facing the antenna away from the towers try that. Worked for me but I'm not in Chicago so not sure if that will help or not. Also you could try an amplifier on the antenna. $30 or $40
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.get that baby in the shy! 25-30ft is best and get the TV antenna Helper app on the android market to know exactly where to point this BEAST of a antenna. Once you find that sweat spot, you will be impressed.. trust me
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Is antenna mounted in house or on roof? Signal is better if on roof and high as possible, but you may do ok in attic as well. Is antenna pointed in proper direction of most stations you want? http://www.antennapoint.com/ You can get an app for most smartphones to use as a compass or to help in pointing antenna properly from your location. If pointed correctly and outside for optimum signal strength, you may need to purchase an amplifier to improve signal for CBS stations.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Try adding the amplifier.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.CBS in Chicago transmits at a lower power output and can be difficult. You may need a more powerful VHF specific antenna.
