FYI, My location is Gilford.

I purchased a separate HDTV antenna, and connected to where the cable coax line was connected (external antenna jack).

Set my TV input source to 'TV'. No picture on any channels ! Only tried channels 1-99 so far.
I have tried connecting to 2 TV's so far, with the same results....
Also tried moving antenna in different directions, but makes no difference?

Am I doing something wrong or need to perfom additiaonl setup steps?

Thanks,
Bigdog
Sounds like you are doing it right...unfortunately, as others have pointed out, you are going to be hard pressed to pick up ANY digital signals with the simple antenna you have.

You will need to put it outside, or maybe even get lucky with putting it in the attic. I tried it a while back in Litchfield, which is closer to Boston, and didn't have any luck with the TV top antennas. I didn't want to be bothered with wiring to the outside/attic.

That being said, I use Hulu Plus, HBOGO, Netflix and Amazon Prime. No cable tv for me.
