Please help in regards to winfast dtv dongle

Hey i just purchased a Leadtek winfast dtv tv tuner usb dongle, i am running windows 7 64bit, so i have downloaded latest driver along with latest winfast pvr2,

Now i installed and purchased a indoor $129 dollar tv antenna with biult in amp. I put this on my normal tv and the picture along with all the channels are perfect.

Now my problem is, regardless of winfast pvr2 or even windows media center both applications can only seem to find sbs channels. It wont find 7-9-10 or abc.

What's going on ive dont just about everything, used 2 different antennas im lost now.

Unfortunately computer TV tuners are very sensitive to interference, and typically less robust than standalone television sets in terms of reception. If you have a friend who has an outdoor TV antenna (one on the roof), try scan for channels with that connection. Also make sure you are using the latest drivers from the winfast site. It does sound like a reception problem though.
cheers.
