Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

Oh man, I think that's your problem right there. If you can figure out a way to get that antenna facing west, I think you'll be ok.
Like I said, You're limited in what you can do in an apartment.
If I hear of anything you can do to enhance your reception, I'll let you know!

So as a follow-up on my antenna issue...

I recently purchased a 2nd TV for the living room and purchased a 2nd Mohu for it. For some reason, this Mohu is also called the Ultimate, but has a signal radius of 60 miles compared to the first Mohu Ultimate, which has a 50-mile radius. What's up with that?

Anyway, set the antenna on the same side of the apartment as the TV in my bedroom, but the new one is just above the door to the patio. Not only do I have the stations of the bedroom, but also picked up the missing BR stations, PLUS it also picked up WWL, WVUE, and WGNO (although with a weak signal).

I wonder what's the difference in the two Ultimate antennas to where they have the same name but one with a wider range.
