Ok, I finally got the tuner back from Cali. Without rotating the antenna, it picked up two channels, barely. I rotated 360 degrees for the strongest channel, but it wouldn't pick up more than one third of the signal bar. At the strongest point the channel will play for about 3-5 seconds with...

Yes, I did many E-Z channel scans, many different settings. On top of that, if you press, for ex. 2-1, it would recognize it and take you into the digital antenna tuner. I appeciate all the brainstorming, but I think that this tuner is back in the mail tomorrow.

No, but the guy who sold me the Zenith- refurbished off Ebay- said that he will test the Digital Antenna tuner if I ship it back to him. If he can verify that is the problem, he will ship me another unit. I'm betting something was overlooked on the reassembly of the tuner.

Thank you for that, but it is already set to digital antenna. I believe that I have exhausted all my options in the menu of the Zenith. I have also hooked up some "rabbit ears" style antenna to the receiver at the suggestion of the store that sold me the Winegard. They say that I should get...

Thanks for that link. What I was doing was assuming that for 2.1, channel 2 was close enough. I found the proper tuner for the digital channels, but cannot get any signal. Even the red channels are showing only the lowest bar of signal at all. I can move the antenna 360 deg. but it doesn't...

Ok- here are a few notes that may help diagnose the problem. 1.I hooked up my cable to the Downlead of the antenna. nothing is connected to the other 75-ohm connector(I think this is the Up-lead) Also, this connector block may be reversed,as in Up-lead-Downlead reversed? 2.Right now...

Is that possible, my antenna is UHF-only? What could cause this to happen?:confused:

I have seen some people post about the Channel Master 7777, would this be a good one to try?

I am receiving the channels, but the channels have static. The picture looks clear, but with static over-top. My RG-6 run is 100 ft right now. Once I complete the install, that might be cut down to 75 ft. Does this sound like the type of issues an amplifier will clear up? If so, how do I...

Ok, to clear things up, I am in the city limits of Greensboro. I have mounted my antenna today, I got a Winnegard 9095P. I have it on my chimney(single story house) and on a rotator. I did not buy an amplifier, because the guy at the store told me it wouldn't help reception, only boost signal...

In one product description I read that the 8200 was only a "blue" antenna, and became a "violet" after adding the preamp. So is it a "power" difference, or are they two different "types" of antennnas?

So it looks like I need a "violet." The farthest channel from me is a "blue" that is 77 miles from me. If I amplified it, what is the smallest antenna I could go with? Your 8200 is rated at 100 miles for example, but does it pick up farther with a preamp?

Hello, I am very new to the HD OTA concept, and would appreciate any help you guys could spare. I live in the 27410 area code and currently own an Optoma HD projector, and have a Zenith DTV1080 receiver on the way. I have looked at Winegard antennas, but don't know what size I need. I am also...
