For those of you with an antenna but with no good channels, try using a separate digital tuner and not the one on the tv. My flat screen would not pick up the channels well but the cheap digital tuner I picked up for our old Tube TV picks up the local channels well.

We had Karlo out last spring. He was on time, friendly and professional. Not a week after we left I got a letter from my HOA saying I couldn't mount the antenna the way we did. Karlo came back out on our recent visit and relocated the antenna. No charge.

I am happy with his service.

Karlo was just reselling LV,Net wireless last year when I looked into it and the rate was not that competitive compared to Cox, Clear and Century Link. And the quotes for installs seemed a bit excessive to me since they are not including wiring to different rooms in the home.

You are better off making your own antenna using coat hangers and lumber. There are instructions available on YouTube. It will do as well or better than any purchased device.

We are pretty close to you (Bicentennial) and get about 40 OTA stations. We mounted two good sized antennas in the attic.
