    To Live and Die on 110

    I tried to find a hole to get 119 but the nearest i could get was over 350 ft away and when i tried to hook both up to my 722 i lost both signals completely and i quit playing with it after that.

    To Live and Die on 110

    Were completely surrounded by mountains OTA wont work at all. Years ago we used to put up a long antenna and amplifier to get Santa Barbara but I moved out of that location.

    To Live and Die on 110

    I thought about this too but its out in the steep woods and i'd have to build something on a neighbors property to do this and he already told me no.

    To Live and Die on 110

    I already made the 550 ft run of rg6 and then rg8 but i didn't want to plunk down the $600 for the rg 11 to get a signal which may or may not work. I never talked to anybody that was able to do that at that length. I tried a couple amplifiers too ... didn't work either.

    Help afert "moving"

    They should show up in your guide, if they didn't show up then you may need to contact them again. make sure you reset your receiver. the sd channels come across just fine down here it's just the signal on the hd channels was down around 15 and came in and out.

    Help afert "moving"

    I moved from Big Sur to get the SF channels and I got them at first but after a few months they tightened up the spotbeam and I had to move back because I only got the hd signal for about 2 hours a day. I'm now stuck with Monterey.

    Is everyone dropping platinum?

    I just dropped it even though I found myself watching the fishing network all the time and put hbo and starz in instead.

    No Local HD Channels in Bay Area (VIP 622)

    How far are you out of the spotbeam? I've been getting sf hd channels for the last year or whenever they became available. I'm losing the spotbeam in the morning and late at night, I lost most of the sd channels a couple of months ago, I'm hoping they will move them to a hotter transponder...

    I lost the spotbeam for the hd locals in the morning yesterday for the first time in a long time. I had previously lots all the 40 sd channels in the 110/31 spotbeam about 2 months ago. I'm kind of on the fringe. I still manage to get the hd locals and in the daytime and the early evening, I...
