I'm trying to find the best tv antenna for my area Cadiz Kentucky 42211?

You are going to want to get an outdoor antenna because the signals in your area are weak. You may want to check with local antenna dealers for the best type of outdoor antenna for your area. Either that or look into cable/satellite tv. You will not get a whole lot of channels if any with just an indoor antenna.

Why won't my HD television find one of the local channels?

Find out where the local stations transmitter is located and turn your antenna to that direction whilewatching the signal strength meter on screen. An antenna that is just slightly off the correct direction can mean the difference between a prefect picture to NO picture. Go to the web site "tvfool.com for the info you need.

How do you get the remote antenna to work on a dish receiver?

By remote antenna, do you mean Over The Air (OTA). For the OTA, some receivers have a coax port on the back, TV antenna, where you can connect an outside antenna. From the receiver menu, you can scan the OTA channels into the receiver once the receiver has found the OTA channels. If this is not what you are asking, please let me know. Thanks.
