Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

Right now, it's at the highest point in my apartment. I originally set it up in the window, which was much better until I let the metal blinds down. Everything went to **** after that. I just got a TV in the front that I'm sure I'll be able to move the antenna around with (already have the amplifier too). The bedroom is pretty shot though as I already have the cable coming across the room to the TV under the bed and a throw rug lol.
Let me ask....is the wall you have the antenna on an outside wall, or is it against someone else's apartment? B/C if you can put it on an outside wall, it works better.
Also, do you know in which direction your Broadcast towers are located? Obviously, you would want to put your antennas facing that direction.
Hopefully, you'll have better luck in the living room. You're so limited in what you can do in an apartment.
