I just got an Amazon Basics 35 mile hd antenna.

Any idea why I'm not getting abc or cbs?

Even some of the other basics are a little sketchy.

I'm in JV.

Any tips or tricks on how/where to mount?

I'm running it through a TiVo Roamio if that matters.

Thanks.

I would start by looking up your address at TV Fool to see how far the towers are from your house.

According to that I should be good for all the standard channels with an indoor antenna mounted at 8 ft.

When I run the TiVo channel scan it 'funds' 61 stations. But the majority of those won't actually tune in. I get a V52 error saying something is wrong with the signal.

Google isn't giving me a clear cause of v52.

I found another user who was getting a V52 error message.

Did you just get the TiVo? If so, maybe you just got a bad unit.

I've got a cheap RCA indoor antenna and have no problems picking up a ton of channels on the south side of town.

I'd try hooking it up directly to the TV just to confirm the channel's availability.

Hooked it up directly to TV and still had some issues.

Maybe bec I have a radiant barrier?

I moved it up into the attic and tapped it into the existing coax.

Everything is working great now except for PBS... Which I had no problem with earlier! Oh well. Better now than it was. Fox, cbs, nbc, abc are all working fine.

Yeah, radiant barrier will play havoc with tv signals.

Honestly I didn't even think about it until I took the antenna up into the attic. Doh.
