I have confirmed reception here at work with a small portable tv (analog of course) and an old antenna. So it looks like the problem is on my end, so tonight I will be pulling it down to take a look and troubleshoot, still odd that the same channels, digital or analog are the only ones to go out.

This past weekend, we had a small storm and I lost my analog channel 6 and 12. Now this morning, I have lost my digital 6 (42) and 12 (31). I have a split antenna system RS VU75xr for VHF and a DB8 for UHF. I still have my other analog and digital channels and here in the Augusta area that...

Someone needs to bring back the old track wire. Real good stuff, but very hard to find.

They are now back up and signals are now higher than ever on my local FOX, from a 25-27 to 55-57. Still not stellar, but way better than before.

The wind storm on Sunday took down my antennas. Rip the screws out of the mounts. Luckily, both of my antennas survived. I am going to put them back up tonight with a much different mount system. Using 10' of mast and ground mount spike, I am going to attach the higher section to the eave of...

Has anyone given any thought about that more digital stations could show up once analog is cutoff? What I mean is, could we receive more digital stations from a greater distance without analog in the way or would we not have as much skip possible.

As a minister, I welcome this addition to Satelliteguys.us Glorystar is giving people the chance to view faith-based programming from their home at very little upfront cost and no recurring costs. I would love to have a system like this for my family. These channels have been available to...

Thanks, I'll see about that.

Update... After a week, I went up and removed the UHF reflectors on the RS VU-75xr and then I lost my Fox station. The weather has been too crazy to put them back on. Removing them really helped the local PBS station to come in more clear, oh well. I need FOX back in HD.

qubo is a fulltime channel, what NBC shows on Saturday is just a lil bit of what it is. Now if i had a station closer than 150 miles from me, I may be able to let my sons watch it...

Well, I researched and found the DB8, so far pretty good. I wasn't able to get it as high as I wanted to though. I am now able to pick the local fox station that is about 40 miles away, only hitting 32-40 on the scale, tv locks in at 30. They are only putting out about 33kw. I am now having...

There are some very expensive OTA meters. Usually only available to professional installers. The last one that I saw was about $600.

The mount fastens just to the inside of the rim.

I haven't gotten the dish yet have been able to measure it, it is 40"x 43". Rather large, but it came from a former retailer that is having some roof work done. The mount on it is about 3"-4" in diameter. Is there a Ku motor that will fit, or would this be better as a stationary dish? I...
