A:Answer I have non smart JVC, Smart TCL, Smart and Non Smart Samsungs receiving different channels line up. I found out reception problems is the OTA station's towers locations and TVs OS,not my hardware. Best performer/receiving TV is my Smart Samsung catching most of local OTA HD stations using my outdoor antenna.
Samsung's Operating System /hardware outperform all the other TVs in my home. My antenna is grounded and about 20 ft hight, my locations is kind of elevated, no structures/buildings other than trees interfering the signals coming from about 30 miles. Local ABC,NBC, CBS,FOX towers grouped in one area, PBS a little separated. It took a while to orient my antenna in order to get the most of them. Sometimes weather does affect reception and one of the stations start pixeling but not terrible, I only watch news to keep informed and watch available OTA sports.
