Cant get Channel 7,10, ABC Digital stations in Adelaide with Vision DTV- Ter card

[Silly Sausage]

Hi

Ive just purchased the Vision DTV card and installed ok. When doing the
channel scan, it picks up all the Channel 9 channels (Action, Digital, HD 1
and 2) and also all the SBS ones but not channel 7, 10 or ABC. My signal
strength is around 76 to 80%. I live in the northern suburbs Golden Grove
area. Any ideas why I cant get the other stations ? Do I need to have a
higher signal strength than 80% to pick em up, what can I do, new antenna?
if so what type etc etc. Appreciate your comments

I don't use this card (I have DigiTV) but I live in the nearby vicinity. My
signal strength is also about 76% (doesn't get to 80%). However I just had
to keep on trying to tune in the stations until I got them all. In fact
when I did it was using old internal rabbit ears antenna so I wouldn't look
at changing your antenna yet.

I can pick up WIN here in Sydney with a signal strength of 26% and upwards.

I also have Vision DTV.
It picks up all local Adelaide channels fine.
Signal strength of 75-80%.

My problem is that it will drop the signal after 10 minutes or so of watching / recording.
Switch to another channel and then switch back and it's OK again.
But not satisfactory for the job it's supposed to do - ie. record programs to your hard drive while you're not there.
Anybody else experience this ?

What suburb do you live in?
