You don't need an extra strong signal for digital channels. That's the beauty of digital, you get the same quality having 100%, 50% or 25%. You just need a signal.

I use cheap rabbits ears on mine and works a treat. Try a set and see how you go?

Remember to re-scan all your channels when you do.

i went to K mart and got one for about $50 bucks and my digital TV is working a treat, on the other hand the bedroom right next to mine got one also from Kmart but a cheaper one think it was about $7 and that does work but its no were near as reliable as the one i have in my room.

assuming it's a rental and if your gonna be there a while asked the landlord to install an outside aerial and wall plate, maybe offer to pay a portion of the cost, it might be a small price to pay compared to the inconvenience of lost reception halfway thru live sport
