Update 04/27/07 Ok guys.... just wanted to update all of you again. I got my CM 3016 antenna today and hooked it up. I got a really strong signal on channel 12, my VHF NBC local station. All the rest of the UHF channels came in really well too. I'm very pleased with this antenna. I wish I...

I've tried re-positioning the 4221 to try and get a signal for channel 12 VHF but it just won't come in. Especially now since the OTA tuner in my Dish 921 is not as strong as the OTA tuner in my Samsung LCD. All I want as far as VHF channels is channel 12 which is my local NBC station. I already...

I was thinking the same thing and I don't want to waste anymore money on "trying" out a 4228. I'll be picking up a 3016 later tonight if my local Fry's has them in stock. Otherwise I'll be ordering off their website. They've got it for $24.95. Same price I paid for the SilverSensor that I...

Well the signal is fine for my UHF channels. It's the one VHF channel 12 that is weak. But of course we all know the 4221 is not a VHF antenna. The signal has gotten weaker since I last posted but it has been windy the last couple days. I'm gonna try adjusting it a little bit later today when I...

Thanks for all the info Ed, I appreciate it. :up I'll report back here later this week with an update...

Thanks Ed...!!! My cable coming from my OTA 4221 antenna will eventually be going into my Dish PVR 921 HD receiver. It'll probably happen sometime later this week. I'm hoping the OTA tuner in the 921 is decent. I also noticed this morning that the signal strength coming from my 4221 on...

Update.... 4/16/07 Ok guys... so I got my 4221 late Friday. The UPS guy didn't delivery it til 7:40PM PST. I didn't even think it was going to show up til Monday. I was busy over the weekend so I didn't get it installed til today. I am able to get the VHF channel 12 like I was hoping for. Of...

:p :p :p

So what do you think guys.....??? 4221 or 3016....??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Will do... The 4221 is due to arrive on Friday via UPS Ground. That's when I'll be doing my install, setting up my sat dish, running cable, etc... Unfortunately the UPS guy in my area usually delivers late in the day, usually around 5pm and sometimes even later. I'll report back here either late...

Newbie to OTA here also.... If your channels are all UHF and pretty much all in the same direction, I'd try the Philips Silver Sensor. Works great for all my UHF HD local stations. My only problem is that my local NBC station is in VHF and at 268 where all my other stations are at 280. I...

So I was messing around with my Philips Silver Sensor indoor antenna last night. Wanted to see if I could get a signal for the one VHF (NBC) station in my area even though the antenna is only UHF. I tuned my tv to 11.1 (12) and then went into the tv menus to go to the tv's signal meter for OTA...

The 4221 will be delivered on Friday. And yes, VHF channel 12 is all I want.... all the rest of the channels I want are UHF. I'll go ahead and try the 4221... might as well, I've got nothing to lose at this point.

Sounds good... thanks for all the info Tower Guy and everyone else. I wish I would've gotten the 3016 to begin with. If anyone needs a 4221... I'll have one for sale... brand new, never used.

I still have the Silver Sensor.... I get the UHF channels, but not the 1 NBC VHF channel. I have the Silver Sensor in one of the rooms on the second story. Our attic is only on the first story and wouldn't get as good as reception as the location it's in now. How about a Channel Master...
