“We bought it to boost our CBS channel because sometimes the picture and sound is distorted. When we install it with our existing outdoor around half way of our 60 ft antennae we got 15 channels but the CBS was totally gone. How can we get the CBS back?”

Have you used a broadcast antenna finder application (such as antennaweb.org or tvfool.com)? It may be that this directional antenna needs to be adjusted to point to the CBS antenna. Or, if the CBS antenna is at a different direction from the other channels, you may need another antenna to point to CBS and a coaxial combiner/splitter to combine both antennas.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is a YAGI antenna and very directional. If the CBS tower is not in the exact direct path your antenna is aiming in, that can cause you to lose it. (same for others when you point away from them) In some cases all of the major broadcast networks are in the same or generally the same direction. In other cases, they are 180° off in the other direction or can be all over the place, some here, some there. If close enough and the signals are not obstructed by various obstacles in the path to you, an omni-directional antenna can get them from any direction. There's an App named Digital Antennas or some websites will show the exact direction to CBS in your case. Ensure your antenna is pointed in that exact direction, then scan again. However, before you do anything, ensure all of your cable connectors are just a bit more than hand tight. Any looseness can cause signal loss! Good luck
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you ran another Channel search on your TV and it didn’t pick up CBS, then that is a problem. When you change antennas your tv will lose he listing sometimes. The other issue is that a partial channel search makes you lose pretty much everything. You have to let it run a full channel search.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Google the FCC website, it will tell you where to aim it. I wasn't getting 1 channel, and 1 was breaking up. Aimed properly, o problems!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello desperateviewers, thank you for your question. Your channels will depend on the signals provided by your local stations in your area. You can use a website like www.tvfool.com to find the direction your signals are coming from and position the antenna where it is facing toward the tower, as well as, positioning the antenna as high off the ground as you can. The repositioning will allow for optimum reception. You will need to rescan your channels once the antenna has been repositioned. If you have any further questions regarding the product, please don't hesitate to respond or contact our Customer Support through phone or email.
