As we have talked about here for some time now, you may need to upgrade the antenna that you are using if you are having trouble picking up the DTV signal with the one you currently have. There is a vast difference in the types of antennas that we tested back before we actually switched over. There were some that could not pick up the signal no matter how hard I tried, and some that would work fine where ever I put it. I found that a very inexpensive "Bowtie" antenna worked well. I bought one from Radio Shack for approx $5 that did what a powered set of rabbit ears couldn't. If you add an inexpensive amp with that, it should only get better results. I hope that helps you.
