“When I bought the antenna I hooked it up to my bedroom TV. Then I decided to use it in my guest room on another TV. The reception is very good, but I am not receiving 3 public broadcasting stations that I did receive in my bedroom 20 feet away. Ideas?”

Just like in real estate, location, location, location. Continue moving the antenna around. Try placing it on a window.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Perhaps it is the television. I encountered the same thing with an older, smaller television.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Antennas are all about location. I have two antennas at two different locations in my home. In my living room I get all the major stations with the exception of Fox. In my office I can get Fox and a few other stations. If the antenna is on a different side of the home from the transmitting towers AND if it has to "pull" the signals through the building materials of your home that can weaken the signal to the point of poor reception. If you get a great signal in one room and not the other placement is the issue. I watch Fox in my office and everything else in the living room. It's a pain at times but at least I don't have to pay $100+ for cable anymore! You could try adding an amplifier to the tv that isn't getting the desired signals but if the building materials are impeding the signals that wouldn't be a fix. A roof/attic antenna would get you up and over any blockage.
