Check https://www.antennaweb.org/ for your address to get an estimate of
what might be available. Hopefully it will confirm the channels that
should be available and give similar results to the
https://www.antennasdirect.com/ link shared by another lister. I have
an older version of the ClearStream MAX serving my office TV, mounted
outside on a balcony with direct line of site to the transmitter towers
36 miles away. Oddly I've lost all the major networks. A rescan only
got me 35 channels, most foreign language stations. (Los Angeles area).Â
Years ago I had 130+ channels.
I have an older version of the ClearStream Flex indoor antenna pinned to
the back of the entertainment center in my living room. Have not used it
in several years and some of the channels didn't work. I rescanned and
they came back. I'm assuming the frequencies shifted. The rescan got
me 87 channels.
I'm wondering now if I have some corrosion in one of the connectors on
the much better outdoor antenna since it now has worse reception than my
little indoor antenna. You might want to check the same thing. If you
have an old rabbit ear antenna, you could also try that. I used one for
several years following the digital TV change.
I agree with other responses that sun is not likely an issue in terms of
signal interference. Sun may degrade the antenna materials leading to
corrosion though.
