We have an apt in NYC (midtown) about 9 blocks N and 6 block E of Empire State Building where many channels are transmitted. I ran our address through antennaweb.org and it looks like the lion's share of channels would come in through a small multidirectional antenna. We have a south facing window, which faces a park with tall trees (across the street). There are tall buildings 2 blocks to the south and within a few hundred feet to the east. If you go to the roof of our building (12th fl), you can see the tip of the antenna for the ESB. we are on the 3rd floor,and our building is masonry (brick).. I am trying to cut the cord with our cable company and am looking for an antenna that would work. I have been told that being that close to ESB, we could get a lot of interference. What type antenna would most likely work? It has to be an indoor one as we are not allowed to have exterior antennas. Should I get amplified or non-amplified? Small vs medium multidirectional? I was thinking of something like the Mohu Leaf.Thanks. Dave

I have a MCS series3246 receiver that I had in my shop with 4 speakers. I haven't had it hooked up in a couple years and decided to hook it back up. Works fine with the front speakers, but when I select the remote speaker button for the rear speakers, the fronts cut out, worked fine before. Any ideas?
