My cell phone is a Verizon and I am finding the reception in Millington is not so hot.

Also, I recently bought a digital TV (Sylvania) and I don't seem to be able to get many stations, and the ones that I do get tend to break up a lot. Would a new antenna help with this?

If your present antenna is old a new one is probably needed. That should help your TV reception, but it won't do much for your cell phone

I live in Cordova and the ONLY place I don't get good cell phone reception (AT&T) is in my own house!!!! That's infuriating.....

I should have said that these were two separate problems. Should the antenna be the same make as the TV? My TV is a Sylvania and the antenna is RCA.

The make doesn't matter...any brand of TV will work with any brand antenna

Usually my cell phone shows either one bar or no bars.

On the antenna issue, I went to Walmart and got one of their cheap antennas. It helps me to get channel 10 better, but I still cannot get 5 or 13.
