If hills, trees, buildings, or other geographic features are in between the broadcast towers and the antenna, the signals might not be able to reach your antenna.

Elevating the antenna, either by placing it in a higher location or using a taller mast, will increase the signal reception.

Try disconnecting the splitter and running the cable directly into the TV/converter box and run a channel scan.

If reception improves, a distribution amplifier is likely to be the solution.
