WCCB Charlotte’s Digital Television Reception Tips

www.rabbitears.info/search.php gives basic parameters of all available stations.

www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx will help you to choose the proper antenna

For best reception of all stations, we recommend an attic or outdoor rooftop antenna. Indoor antennas generally do not provide reliable reception for digital television

And can be problematic due to trees, electrical interference, traffic, and other RF sources.
