I was able to get a CM 4228 from Fry's and I hooked up just to test it and make sure it worked. I just sat the think on top of my garbage can and leaned up against my house so it would sit up straight. I went into the house and checked the signal strength on the HD channels and NBC came in at...

I posted it here and realized I should've posted it in the OTA forum. But thanks for answering my question though.

Ok, I've read enough posts here to know that the Channel Master 4228 is arguably the best antenna for those that live far away. As you can see, I'm about 30 - 32 miles away. My question is, would the Radio Shack antenna U-75R work for me? I know it's UHF only but will it pick up VHF as well like...

LOL, yeah, a lot of people say that. I'm about 35 miles north of Atlanta, hence the reason I need to run cable for my OTA. I'm able to pick up all the channells with some indoor amplified antenna but the signal just isn't strong enough. I'm going with a CM4228.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I'm guessing flat coaxial cable will do the job as well. Do you know if it can be found locally?

Anyone know where I can find something like this at a local store (Bestbuy, Circuity City, etc.) I'm looking to setup my OTA this weekend and I don't want to drill a hole to get the cable inside the house. I also don't really want to order it as I don't want to wait on it. Thanks!

Adelphia is my cable co. and the flat out suck.

What a difference a day makes. I called D* to cancel my account and what do they do?, they offer me the HD-DVR for free, along with 4 free months of HD programming. What did I do?, I took it. Although, Dish offers better programming & equipment, I couldn't pass it up. That's compared with...

I think I am going to make the switch. I just hope I'm able to get a good signal strength on 129. From what I've been reading it's not that good.

I'd like to have a referral number as well. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. That's mainly what I was curious about because the only time I lose signal with D* is when the power goes out. I'd stay with D* but Dish just looks really good right now and a lot cheaper too. Did you go through a local installer or directly through Dish?

I've been doing a lot of research the last couple of days as I'm planning to make the switch from D* to E* mainly because of the HD content. I've spoken with E* cust service on multiple occassions and I can't seem to get clear answers. I've went through the Dish Builder and I have a pretty...
