From the description of an indoor power supply placed at the bottom of the mast wrapped in Saran Wrap I would start with a VOM checking for output voltage. With plastic wrap and an indoor pwer supply trapped condensation is enough to kill it.

According to my DTV PAL i'm getting 53 services.

alright im back to my original channels now, the antenna must have been blown off by very little. so this morning i woke up and it was blown to about 90 degrees off so i figured i would scan just to see what happened, i picked up like 5 extra channels i wasnt getting before. i am wanting these channels, but in order to do that i would have to be pointing at 2 different directions at the same time, does anyne have any suggestions on how i would do this? i would like to get all the directions at once, it looks like you are doing this and thats how you have so many channels.

i have the preamp plugged up inside but the diseq o whatever, there is no way that i can get it inside so i have to try to keep it waterproof from outside, do you have any other suggestions besides seran wrap?

also, im going to have to anchor the pole down better, i will probably have to go with guy wire, but for now i am just going to monkey wrench it down ttight at the bottom and hold it underground with a screwdriver, at least until it warms up to where i can do a better job, so this means the antenna pole will have to come down 5-10 feet. how will this affect my reception?

You won't know until you shorten it the 5'. We hope it won't affect anything negatively. To point at 2 directions at once, get another antenna, depending on the band of the desired new channels. You see my picture. That's how it's done.

the problem with additional antennas is i already have 3 on my mast already. would the vertical antenna like you have pick up from all 4 directions? and would it have the strength that mine does? to be able to get about 75 miles away? i think i have this one

was wondering if this one would pull in from all directions and have about the same strength
