Maybe I missed something. Afterall, this card is supposed to be better than the cheap card I had before. However, for me, it's not. It's possible that it's because of the area that I live in.

I'm going to send the manuf. an email asking them about this.

As for what you should do, based on what I've seen, I can't make any recommendations. You're "likely" to get better reception than me, but I can't be sure.
I'd say check it first with a TV from another room, then plug it in the computer and see if there's a difference? Shouldn't be?
