grounding on the chassis seems to work, but ive seen it affect the sound. picture gets clearer but static is introduced when it wasnt before.
go figure

Yeh most of the time i get a clear picture...depending on where i am

I doh really care for local tv though

Better bet is to get a nice power antenna
