TV Troubles

JD and I decided to put our satellite service on hold for a little while to save some money. Nearly all of the shows we watch can easily be found online. During the week, I don't miss having satellite TV service.
But, when the weekend comes and I wanna watch college football, the NFL, or NASCAR, the current situation becomes a problem. We have one digital TV. I got a "rabbit-ear" indoor antenna for the TV. With that connected, I am able to pick up the ABC (31), CBS (19), and PBS (25) stations...sometimes. Despite my living in town, I have never been able to get the Fox (54) or NBC (48) stations' broadcast signal on this TV. As I mentioned a second ago, I can't always get these channels. I will have the antenna positioned where I get the three stations just fine. But, most of the time, if I wait long enough or the next time I turn the TV on, the situation will be completely different. I may have picture for none, one or two stations and will have to completely alter how the rabbit-ears are positioned before I can get the stations again.
Actually, as I was typing this, I had to adjust the antenna again. Although I wasn't getting a strong signal from PBS, the CBS and ABC stations seemed clearer than usual. I decided to see if I could get NBC and Fox. Nope, I couldn't get them, but it is now picking up UPN (15). *rolls eyes*
