So I have an older 32" TV that doesn't have a built in tuner, so I picked up one of these: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...ingid=75948837

Along with an antenna from monoprice.com (site is down now):

http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cach...700&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

hooked it all up but am only getting channels in the 15+ range, most of which come in nicely. All channels below 15 don't seem to work though. I live in a complex with fairly thick walls, but putting the antenna near windows with them open doesn't change my luck much.

Any tips?

By golly you're right, I'm able to get channels 8/10 which are CBS/ABC here, and then NBC/FOX are 38/69, awesome!

Would also depend on your distance from the towers and whether or not your window faces the towers as the antenna says it was a directional.
