Also, the antenna has to be aimed at the right spot, not "about" right. (You can go to  hdtv, type in your address and it will show you where to point the antenna for the available stations in your area.) |
I agree and disagree with you. Digital signal will also have "tiling"(little squares of the image scattered al over the screen) or you will loose your sound. That is equivalent to a snowy pictures on an analog signal.
On the amplifier. If you are not getting a good reception and you use an amplifier you will be "boosting" bad quality signal which can give you issues with the image and the sound. But I think is worth a try. If it does not work, you can just return it.
I hope this helps a little. I am no expert but I do work for a cable company so I kinda have some knowledge. If don't know I will make it up, lol.
